I checked, and my SideWinder gamepads are a later version (no pass-through) with a CD-ROM Part No. X03-37535. This CD-ROM contains Version 2.0 of the SideWinder Game Device Software including Profiler, Activator, Editor and Drivers, so you would almost certainly want the Version 3.02.00 software i …

If memory serves, the early Microsoft SideWinder products' drivers were included within the later releases of the Microsoft SideWinder Software packages, the last of which was Version 3.02.00 for Win9x. If you look in the last post of the following thread, you will find a link to that particular …

You probably want to see if you can get a copy from a Central or Eastern European used book merchant given your location and the fact that Ferraro's book is over 1000 pages (it's a paperback). If you are interested in learning C++, you need to be aware that C++ has been evolving ever since Bjarne …

For low-level programming, I would recommend a copy of Richard F. Ferraro's Programmer's Guide to the EGA and VGA Cards if you can find one. I have a copy of the Second Edition (ISBN 0-201-57025-4), and I know that a Third Edition was released. The book uses C and assembly language code examples. …

Thanks, looks like I need to re-test since I thought I'd tried both those before. I recently built a hopped up P4 Prescott/XP/W98se/7900GTX-512mb rig and want to try out glide wrappers under W98 - I just need to keep up at it.. This page enumerates many of the Glide Wrapper projects: http://www. …

Yes, both machines run Win98 SE. dgVoodoo (the original, not dgVoodoo 2) and OpenGLide are two of the wrappers that work under Win98SE: http://dege.freeweb.hu/ http://www.vogons.org/viewforum.php?f=27 You can get special OpenGLide builds for Red Baron 3D: http://www.wingsofhonour.com/downloads/ …

I have a couple of 933 MHz Pentium III machines, one with V5 5500 and one with GeForce 4 TI 4200. Running a program like Red Baron 3D I get 60-80 fps on the V5 with Glide and about 20-30 fps with a Glide wrapper (I forget which I tested) on the GeForce 4.

I'm a little puzzled by the OP's question. Loki produced Linux ports of Soldier of Fortune (the first one, not Double Helix) and Civilization: Call to Power. My understanding is that there IS a stand-alone Linux server for Solder of Fortune II: Double Helix, but the game itself is Windows/Mac only. …

One other possibility to consider is that the deprecation of the use of /media for removable media in Linux distros (generally) is causing you grief. When doing some testing for Myth II 1.8 developers recently, I discovered that openSUSE devs were no longer automounting an inserted CD-ROM to /media/ …

Exactly. Based on what files are on the CD-ROM and what files get copied to the hard drive, I would guess that the Digital Music is stored somewhere in the RESOURCE.001 and RESOURCE.MAP files given the size of RESOURCE.001 (115 MB) and the fact that it is never copied to the hard drive regardless of …

I had the same idea as Jorpho. The Redbook tracks are for the CyberGladiators Demo v1.0A which is included on the disk. The README for the demo indicates that you must "be sure to insert the demo CD into the drive before running this demo. If you don't, you won't hear any music while you play. …
