why don't you use 86box then? 1. I am not using qemu-3dfx and I will no longer use that (censored). 2. For dos and 3dfx games I am using 86box and Parallels for directx 3d accelerated games. Dosbox is too slow for anything and doesn't work well. 3. Wolfestein 3D is not a 3dfx game. Its clear that …

Back with my 86box, UTM (QEMU) and Parallels machines. Does anyone know why on QEMU running MS-DOS 6.22, Wolfestein 3D refuses to run (stays black screen) when initiated? Same game runs fine on other emulators. Can't be a sound issue due to not having OPL3, sinceI have put a config file disabling …

Reasons to hate modern games - Price - High end hardware requirements - Amount of storage required (FS 2020 requires min. whooping 150GB) - Bad code (if it were optimized, it could run on less powerful hardware, not just bad code, but also bad developers) - Too much focus on graphics and almost no …

I fixed GP3 under Win 11 Pro ARM64 in Parallels. Now its buttery smooth even with dgVoodoo 2 and hardware mode. I don't know how, but not it works now. So it's GP3, GP4, Counter-Strike 1.6 and Max Payne 1 running well. rFactor 2 and possibly CS:GO will follow suit once I arrive back in Rio de …

I don't think it fits here, but my "technological critique" is about what the Web is today and what is shaping to be in the future. Not looking good. We went from document web to applications web. browsers were meant to "read documents on the web" yet now they are "web apps". Full of frameworks and …

Grand Prix 4 running under Parallels Desktop on my M1 MacBook Air has a mind blowing performance, even with a custom GP4 mod installed. The Parallels Desktop VM is the Windows 11 Pro ARM64; Parallels runs it perfectly. UTM also does run Windows 11 Pro ARM64 perfectly, but lacks 3d acceleration. …

Speaking of old SVGA emulation, Anyone know how to fix the yellow tinting screen when using SDL2 build of DOSBox-X? I get that whenever I want to use more than 256 colors in Windows.

Arrow / Flash was good for a couple seasons and then went on well past the expiration date It was the same way with the original Supernatural series before it just kept going on forever I didn’t mind Grimm or Emerald City and don’t think it was given enough of a chance (should have lept into …

I'm waiting for the next seasons of Foundation, Cobra Kai and Spy Racers. I've finished "Covert Affairs", "Carmen Sandiego", "The Last Dance", "Fuller House", "Lost In Space", "Designated Survivor" and "Downton Abbey". Meanwhile I'm watching "The Ranch", "The IT Crowd" and I just finished another …
