Now, all I need is to get Star Control I & II working, and I will be one *happy camper*. But so far, the advice given, unless I have misunderstood, has not worked. Help? You might want to check this site: http://www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol/ and especially this FAQ. http://www.classicgaming. …

While in the process of checking on Ken Silverman's VESA-NT Fix (in Deep Thought), I stumbled across these: GLDuke has a new (temporary) home page and a new programmer: http://hackerman93045.tripod.com/ Even better is yet another BUILD port . Two big differences when comparing this to the others, …

Just tried it on "Duke Nukem 3D" at 800x600 on XP Home. I'm stunned. It worked. In fact, it worked very well. No glitches, no artifacts, ran just like it would in DOS/Win9x. This 130 byte program instantly fixed the video problems with 2000/XP. Now all that's left are the audio issues. Didn't …

My system: Celeron 800, TNT2, Windows XP. Need more detail here. You've said nothing about your audio. Using VDMSound only, the sound continually pops and crackles. Tried the suggestions in the guidelines and installed update 1, and the launchpad and changed polling period to 1/3 and 2/5 with no …

Who knows what the future holds? Maybe even a playable version of Archimedean Dynasty? (Pretty nasty-looking last time I saw...)

I heard that there was an Amiga CD version that had 256 colours (as opposed to the more "public" one that only has 32), but that it was basically impossible to find. Correct. Actually, it was also released on floppy for "regular" Amigas as well. Trivia item here: In the floppy version there appears …

If you perform a search for "beneath" on the board, you'll see this is a "problem child" (or my personal term, pig) with modern PC systems. The only person I've heard of (so far) that could run it was "Clam". You might try contacting Clam. Another possibility is emulating the Amiga version. Of …

"Update 1" will work with VDMSound and Doom/Duke/etc. under Windows XP . So try upgrading to XP before downgrading to 9x. If he's trying to run a BUILD game, it will run on XP, but not nearly as well as DOS/Win9x. I'll keep saying it until someone has a better option. Dual boot between DOS/Win9x …

There's growing interest in getting EAW to work with Glidos over at SimHQ. You need to understand a few things. GliDOS is for DOS-based programs (primarily with 3dfx support). What you're probably referring to is Paul's version of the OpenGlide "wrapper" for 3dfx emulation (Like Snover said, you …
