Too bad fucking MAME.DK had to take all its ROMs offline. Man... I even donated to them to keep it up.

I don't think realMYST will work with a video card that old. It needs a TNT2 at minimum I think... time to upgrade! (well, as soon as NV30 comes out *drools*) DSoM will install fine, will play the intro movie fine, but when you try to control anything in it, nothing will happen. You have to three- …

Heh, always a possibility, but I'm having enough trouble setting up the server I'm preparing to move zetafleet to. (horray! and, uh, surprise!) We'll see later. 😀

The latest, 40.72. They're WHQL certified, but I still think they're EXTREMELY buggy. As a matter of fact, I *know* they are, because without deleting all the language-specific DLLs for the thing, its CPL crashes.
Red Baron 3D: no sound and lockup (solutions!) by Snover
Posted on 2002-11-25, 05:39
If you are having trouble with sound (or, rather, not having any) in Red Baron 2, this is your fix. The problem is an XP issue with RB - it has nothing to do with using the OpenGLide wrapper or the superpatch (the superpatch 'upgrades' RB2 into RB3D). Close RB, go to your RB folder and delete …

This is an XP issue with RB - it has nothing to do with using the OpenGLide wrapper or the superpatch. Close RB, go to your RB folder and delete RBPREFS.DAT. Then, open RB and set all your favourite preferences but don't fly, and don't close RB . Press Alt-Tab to get back to the desktop without …

Uh, if you actually read that page, LSD, you'd notice that Windows 2000 doesn't enter 'extended' period until 2005 and doesn't reach 'end-of-life' until 2008. WinME is 2003 and 2005, respectively.

Well, there was this: Ok, I amend that to say the "common" keyboard. What I was trying to say is that when the PC was created nobody was thinking of how the customer would need to press Ctrl+Alt+R to activate a radar display while simultaneously using the arrow keys to maneuver, they were thinking …

Don't suppose you know if the other(s) use GeForce3Ti500s, do you? Strange that it would occur only with SDL, I must say.

DosFreak, you say you got your version of 3DFX.EXE off of blood.lith.com? That's weird, koz I got it there, too, but mine's the same as Nicht's and yours is different. In any case, I've tested it out. It actually works, up until the point I try to play. However, while it does freeze in the same …

Okay, this isn't even related to VDMSound, for one. VDMSound is a sound card emulator for Windows NT/2K/XP. Secondly, you haven't given us ANY INFORMATION on your system. There's a REASON there is a thread at the top of EVERY FORUM that says "read this before posting"!! I'm closing this thread. If …

DosFreak: This information is much more interesting and relevant than what you linked to, but still interesting nevertheless. It would be interesting to hear what other stuff they found wrong with NTVDM in the process. It also looks like most of the problems listed can be solved with NT LFN TSR ... …

Just because everything you know is wrong (and stupid) doesn't mean you have to be rude about it, Nicht. 😉

Like I said, neither the CD-ROM nor the DVD-ROM versions of the game work. I've got both, and I've tested both.

Barking Iguana, no. This is a TSR. This means that as soon as you close the DOS window you ran it in it is no longer loaded. You should create a batch file with the following in the directory of the game you want to run: Copy code to clipboard 1 C:\PATH\TO\MOUSECTL.COM 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 2 GAME.EXT
