Hey Stiletto, I know I wasn't to keen on your idea at first, but actually thanks. All hail Stiletto for bring these two greats together! Let's throw them a ticker-tape parade! Hmm. Kind of low on funding at the moment. How about I just tear up some paper and throw the pieces in your general …

I don't respond well to threats Glidos, even if you have the capibity of using a power trip to boot me out! I would've made this private, but your registration is gone. I'm not sure which is worse, your arrogance or your stupidity. Paul (Glidos) has gone out of his way to show you courtesy: He's …

...32-bit colour isn't even enough. Well there is such a thing as "diminishing" returns. The difference between 16-bit and 24-bit fairly easy to so spot with the human eye (although not nearly so much in a FPS, which is kind of what 3dfx was counting on...). Going from 24bit to 32-bit helps …

I spotted a Windows executable in the archive, so I gave it a whirl on my 98SE partition. Ran flawlessly. Background music, sound effects, all the graphic sizing options. Everything ran just like it's supposed to, with no pre-configuration (well, the screen has to be in a 256-color mode for it to …

sst1init.dll does sound worrying. Not sure what that is. I remember when I did some 3dfx emulation testing and when I tested the really old 3dfx demos (the ones that came out with the original Voodoo: Valley Of Ra, etc...). The error I saw repeatedly was an ATB error "Couldn't detect the SST-1". …

It can't be!!! no Duke3D? If you're running NT or 2000, Duke3D will run fine so long as you don't use any Digital audio (I think you can use General MIDI for music). If you want sound effects it requires a rather nasty hack, and most wouldn't find it worth it. XP has a work-around, but it's still …

No really. I hadn't given up on the guy... Paul, you're amazing. The guy tried to get GliDOS for free, rationalized it due to a lack of funding (revealing later his plans for a rather expensive PS2 online setup), then denigrated your project in attempt to trivialize it (apparently thinking that …

My problem is that there is not a separate sound and music device selection, which is confusing. The sound and music could not both be played through the same device with the same settings (the emulator did not like that),... The games audio options are these: 1 Sound Blaster 2 Sound Blaster Pro 3 …

I still cannot, for the life of me, figure out the link between Consoles and GliDOS ???????????? There isn't one. He obviously has a strong personal interest in console gaming (especially in Tomb Raider). He wants to have the "Ultimate Original Tomb Raider". At present, that would be the PC version …
