Tunnels of Doom is one I really want for my TI99/4A. Not especially hard to find, but not easy either.
A different kind of emulator
Posted on 2016-12-28, 22:14
(This could be under Release Announcements however not yet as I am not yet releasing it as such until I figure out something about the sourcecode. This is more of a technical annoucement for now). It all started with this (from Scali) a bit more than 6 months ago: I think the world of PC emulation …

Ok, I think I need an intervention here. I just got Ultima VII complete from GoG. Never played any Ultima games before, had no clue what to expect. And man, the game is....not good. I know I am going to be torched for this but hear me. 1) The font is horrendous. I mean the dialog and text are pretty …

I'm trying to get to the bottom of the best looking and oldest operating system able to connect to the internet and the best looking computer of that time. That is somewhat subjective. Date I want it to be around: 80's or core and early 90's. Things I want it to have: An OS being able to connect to …

Yes I think this is it, thank you very much.
Looking for an adventure game
Posted on 2016-12-25, 01:01
This is a later time (but not too late) point and click adventure game. It is 2D (pre-rendered/drawn backgrounds). It supports slightly higher resolutions like 640x480 I think. You start the game in a Carribean island (modern times) and your character is a male. And I think the game is about finding …

You might have to run EMM386.exe in your config.sys.

I'll test that new version too on my machines. I have 386, 486, P180MMX, PII 400, P3 866, P4 2.6Ghz.
Sound emulation questions
Posted on 2016-12-20, 16:25
Hi all, I know a lot about computer software but sound emulation (and sound basics) is one area that I am not ashamed to admit I do not know as much. I know there are a few people here that understand way better than me how this works (like gdjacobs, Scali, Jepael, reenigne, superfury and others) so …

I have a PII 400Mhz however when I ran the test in DOS mode it hangs. It works fine from dos from within Win95 but I do not trust those results. I'll try getting into DOS before getting into Win95.

Re: Space Shooters like WC and Freespace - Opinions?
Posted on 2016-12-18, 23:05
Wing Commander running well, it's quite subjective. Personally I like it to chug a bit. A 25 MHz 386 or so seems ideal. The game is much easier at that slow speed, and there is even music that won't fully play on faster machines. If you use a faster machine, like a 40 MHz 386, then the game can be …

If all that is doing is reading that page can you not fudge it by playing around with the hosts file or your router and direct it to some other page html file?

No that is not what he said. He said you need to go inside Win 3.1 after you start it and go to Control Panel and then 386 Enhanced section and from there disable (or change the size of) the virtual memory managed by the Win 3.1 itself.
Re: Problem with the Mouse under Windows 10 Remote Desktop?
Posted on 2016-12-13, 13:33
It could be a bug in SDL. However did you try disabling mouse acceleration in your Windows (on the host) as well as tone down mouse speed (again on the host)? Does that make a difference at all?

Oh that is awesome. The OLED screen is actually very nice (bring and crisp). I cannot wait to get one of those next year (it will be time for me to upgrade at work).
