i love this game! hope to find the US version someday, this is the German version, happy to find it sealed and lucky customs did not mess with it. still play it on a Windows 10 PC 😊

Anyone know how to get the commercial release of Pod Gold to work in 800x600 res? I've tried various patches, adding lines to ubi.ini and the like, but it's always 640x480 res maximum (using nGlide or dgVoodoo). I know the in-game 800x600 option is never selectable, but even the ubi.ini thing does …

i am curious, would say a voodoo2 be damaged if used on a modern H97 board with PCI and i5? it's not compatible right? are Pentium 4 the max you can use a v2 with?

Seasonic SS-350BS is an ATX psu? it is safe to use for 440BX?

yea i know it's an old thread but i don't want to create a new topic when it can be discussed here with relevance and for future reference. thanks Trekkie4, yess that makes sense 😀 i guess it depends on whether my build has an AGP slot for the V3.

so if using them together, can you use Voodoo3 for the 2D instead of a separate 2D card that Voodoo2 needs? would i need to passthrough from Voodoo2 to V3? or it will be handled by V3 as default?

yea it seems so, i have not used IndirectSound much personally, since ALchemy also uses that dsound.dll when you enable it for games. i looked at the official IndirectSound page and it does say if you already have a Sound Blaster and ALchemy working, you don't need IndirectSound. and i think it only …

I didn't understand how Alchemy worked at first, so i just installed the latest Alchemy (45.15) with OpenAL 2.1 with my Monoprice USB DAC and added the game on the list (which created the necessary files in game directory). But now that i get it's just a wrapper, necessary soft needs to be provided …

Installed the latest Alchemy without Creative MB on my third party dac/amp, and EAX settings are all available in Thief 3, but i couldn't hear any difference whether they were checked or not. So i guess it's not working. https://imgur.com/a/ciDHN if your USB-X-Fi support up to EAX5, it should work. …

thanks dionb for your very informative advice, it's very helpful! i hope you don't mind more questions.. which do you think would be a better choice for glide games like POD gold? not that much into DOS games but ability to run it + later ones like Quake, Duke3d, Doom, TombRaider1 and such would be …

@dionb, yeah i failed to mentioned it is a Pentium II 266Mhz MMX. i read up a little and found that these might fit, and might even be possible to upgrade to a faster PIII: Asus P2B rev 1.10 i440BX AOpen AX6BC i440BX Biostar M6TBA am i wrong there? and are there any pitfalls i should know about Slot …

hi, i'm fairly new to retro PCs. for a Pentium 266 MMX, which slot 1 chipset / specific motherboard is good to pair it with? does slot 1 chipset even have USB port back then? and would a slot 1 motherboard be able to use a PCI voodoo graphics card? is PCI or AGP easier for motherboard compatibility? …

i can't seem to enable openAL on my Realtek ALC1150, tried latest openal-soft too. using Realtek drivers 6.0.1.7899, Win 10 1607 edit: ok i got it to work using X-Fi MB3 and ALchemy/OpenAL Soft to emulate, tried a few games like Amnesia, Prey, Morrowind, Gw1, and it does seem to sound better than …

^ I guess Magnetic Scrolls are the UK equivalent of the Legend adventures. Some new games here over the last few months. http://i.imgur.com/ykrWwDfl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8TykmLWl.jpg is that version of POD in English, and what is inside the box? only CD in jewelcase? been looking for one without …
