Re: Dark Forces on DosBox

Posted on 2007-11-20, 20:53

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 …

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.

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 - …

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 …

Re: Best DOS video card?

Imagine 128 is horrible for DOS. That's what the Cirrus chip is used for and it is a absolute dog. Most of their cards use S3 chips though, and those usually are pretty decent for DOS compatibility, especially if you load the S3 VBE 2.0 TSR that's out there. I had a Motion 771, which used a S3 …

Wow those are some impressive brain dumps over on the first page. Cool to be hanging out with fellow PC vets. :) Do you guys have insane histories with console games too? I have never been PC only... I'm not sure I have the energy to make a list like those. Heh. The first PC game I beat was probably …

Re: Build retro gaming PC -OR- emulation?

Posted on 2007-10-25, 20:27

Yeah. When you really get into building a machine from those days, you start to remember the good 'ol hardware conflicts and bugs. Stuff like certain chipsets not quite being compatible with games and their extenders, etc. Non-Intel CPUs with bugs and poor programmer support. Drivers that aren't …
