Just run it natively with DxWnd, you'll get FPS control, and also not encounter the overweight bug

I don't think WDDM has anything to do with anything. If any it can just happen that older drivers are unlucky with forward compatibility. The problem here is probably that the GMA3600 is in fact a rebranded SGX545, which is in turn has the most vile driver that has ever seen the x86 world. …

Anyone know if these errors would be caused by Windows ME or is the programs themselves? A more perfect guess, Windows ME. Better go to WIN98SE or back to XP

Wow, this is fantastic news ! :D I'm so glad this was finally fixed. And for both versions of the game, too ! Awesome work ! Let me get some time, I'll ask around about the game Extreme Paintbrawl. There are other games on the same engine too, but I couldn't find their Windows adaptations (Wiki …

I don't think much and keep using Google. Perhaps they will store, save and sell my data, but that's what is happening to millions of people, perhaps even famous people as well. But Google is convenient

Power Chess 98 The original Power Chess too. Power Chess has DOS (for the core), Win16 (WinG), DirectSound, and Win32 (Win32 controls and a Win32 console program) components. As such, it only works with Windows 9X. Yes I mentioned it in the first post. It can work in Windows 11, thus I was …

I actually did find a way of getting Extreme Paintbrawl to fully work on Windows XP+. You had to modify some batch files to start DOSBox at certain times. Only problem is that if your graphics card doesn't support the 640x400 menus, you're fucked. NVIDIA takes me as low to 320x200. i don't think …

I will need to give an explanation first. Some early Win32 games, during the Win9X era used certain DOS components. They were internal engine components while the main game was basically Win32. An example is Power Chess by Sierra, the executable is Win32 based but one of the required executables for …
