Re: Share your 3D accelerator nostalgia here

in Milliways
heh i had a 4mb s3trio card first and unreal tournament ran sloow :P then i got a TNT 2 card and it ran fine so long as there was no smart AI or too many AI ;) ah the limits of a p133 and 48mb ram :) the image quality with the tnt 2 was vastly better then the s3trio :P S3 Trio can't accelerate much …

Re: Share your 3D accelerator nostalgia here

in Milliways
It's also neat when you find the "best" version of a game runs on an obscure 3d accelerator that nobody has and isn't produced anymore. So which card-specific game that looks the best? Unreal before the D3D patch. :) D3D support was awful for years anyway. Hell, Glide still runs the game better …

Re: Dark Forces on DosBox

hey that O2 is pretty cool. I'm not sure how well a VIA CPU will cope with DOS games though; they are pretty slow. Still much better than a cell-phone or PDA CPU. I used to have a Sharp Zaurus. It had a 206 MHz Strongarm CPU. I never tried DOSBOX on it, but there were many good game engine ports. …

Re: Dark Forces on DosBox

Dark Forces in DOSBOX stresses my Pentium M 2.13 GHz. I can't imagine any pocket PC CPU being able to remotely handle it. You might be able to play games meant for a 286, but that's probably about it. The CPUs in phones and PDAs are pretty basic, with little cache memory, limited integer performance …

Re: Mechwarrior 2 Original dos 3dfx edition

in DOS
Yeah it's a Windows 95 game that uses the earliest Glide API version basically tailored specifically to Voodoo 1. I'd suggest digging up the Titanium Pack somehow instead. It has D3D support.

Re: YOUR dance anthems?

Rapture by IIO. That tune is an all-time fav for me too. How about: Perpetuous Dreamer - Sound of Goodbye Riva - Stringer Solid Globe - North Pole Sarah McLachlan - Fallen (Gabriel & Dresden remix) Evanescence - Hello (Gabriel & Dresden bootleg mix) <-omg Paul van Dyk - For an Angel Paul van Dyk - …

Re: Retro PC problems and thoughts

in your config.sys: (substitute the windows dir for DOS if you aren't running win9x) device=c:\windows\himem.sys device=c:\windows\emm386.exe RAM i=B000-B7FF dos=high,umb stacks=9,256 (may also want to try "0,0") files=40 The RAM switch gets you expanded memory (EMS). If you only need extended …

Re: Retro PC problems and thoughts

Instead of blurring the hell out of your screen output with a pair of Voodoo2 cards inline with a 2D/3D card, just go with a Voodoo3. I can barely stand even a single Voodoo card in the chain because of how much the passthru blurs analog output. Voodoo3 has extremely fast 2D for Windows and it has …
