Re: Enabling 16 Bit Application Support In Windows 10

Posted on 2018-03-24, 11:01

The downside is that you need a 32 bit edition of Windows 10, and that's very uncommon (until you have a low-spec notebook). It won't work in 64 bit editions. If you got a 64 bit edition, you should try either: - Using DOSBox with Windows 3.x installed (but because lack of support of SHARE.EXE, …

What other community hacks are there? Are there others I could possibly try in case DgVoodoo2 doesn’t work before resorting to VM’s? There can be 'fixes' for individual games e.g. to circumvent outdated/not supported DRM/copy protection software or unpackers for not supported 16 bit installers and …

Without knowing what games and on what hardware you would like to play it's hard to give recommendations. The best option usually depends on the specific game itself. Generally for XP gaming real emulators (that also emulates CPU) like PCem and Bochs are too slow. When XP was released CPU's had …

I know C&C Renegade has to use Direct3D for its installer. That's all I can recall off the top of my head (As Westwood in 1995-2003 had to make flashy looking install programs for increased immersion and mood setting) Also don't expect those old video cards and drivers to behave with the 4K …

Okay thank you. I was just hoping to be able to test if a game will try to install and therefore is compatible with different OS’s in VirtualBox. So hopefully this will work then since it won’t be asking VirtualBox to try to render 3D. Keep in mind that if the game installs, that doesn't …

They might check for the existence of a 3D card, but it would be a lot of work for nothing to somehow make the game installers use the 3D functions of the graphics card. Okay thank you. I was just hoping to be able to test if a game will try to install and therefore is compatible with different …

Out of curiosity, isn't Microsoft's own Windows XP Mode a good emulator for Windows XP because, well, it is actually Windows XP? . XP mode in Win7 is basically an integrated Virtual PC 2007 (+ XP image file) with absolutely no 3D video hardware emulation (it emulates an S3 Trio like VGA card). So …

Anything that runs on Vista will run on today's hardware/Win10 with at most minor tweaking. XP and 2000 are basically the same, and run well in any x86 virtual machine, e.g. VirtualBox. However performance of 3D games from that era in VirtualBox will be poor or non-functional. Many games from that …

Updated List of Current Best Emulators

Posted on 2018-03-22, 00:05

Is there any sort of list anywhere that is updated for the best and most well supported emulator/VM for specific OS’s? I’m wanting to have 2000, XP, and Vista but with so many options I’m trying to determine the best supported way of going about each one for gaming. Since I’m sure each OS has a …

Re: Uninstalling DgVoodoo in Windows 98

Posted on 2018-03-21, 01:55

Thank you so very much for all of this information. I am currently using S3 ViRGE/DX with 4 MB so this is likely the reason why my resolution is being limited then? Am I able to configure the Windows 98 I already have setup in PCem or will I have to create an entirely new setup to change it to …

DGVoodoo shouldn't increase resolutions. It is an API wrapper, not a video driver. It will also be useless under VirtualBox with Win98 as there is no accelerated driver supported for that VM under Win98. Also DGVoodoo only wraps to D3D, in which VirtualBox (in a supported guest like XP) would pass …

Re: Uninstalling DgVoodoo in Windows 98

Since PCem already emulates the Voodoo/Voodoo2 internally, you really really don't need to install a modern wrapper intended for DX9/11 hardware. Oh it does? I actually manually installed the driver based off of a guide as I did not know this.. I’m comparing it with my VirtualBox Windows 98 where I …

Uninstalling DgVoodoo in Windows 98

Posted on 2018-03-21, 00:27

I’m wanting to uninstall the DgVoodoo driver I installed within my Windows 98 in PCem as it is limiting my resolution possibilities. Do I need to download an uninstaller or just somehow remove it in device manager or something else entirely? I just want to make sure I only remove the driver and …

You could probably zip up the hard drive images, the nvr file and the cfg file. There's no state saving or undo disks or anything like that. Okay, I know where the hard drive image is so if I just find an application to zip it will it stop continuing to change along if I make a copy or is still …
