Thanks, Phil. I'll have a look.
Re: What model is Aztech FCC ID: I38MMSN853

I'm sorry my camera is not cooperating or I'd get a picture. The AZTECH chip on mine is a little different. It says: AZTECH AZT2023 Aztech Systems OPL 9718 ABTQ where the card in your picture says: AZTECH AZT2023 Aztech Systems OPL 9735 ABSR But both have the Samsung chip in the upper left that says …
What model is Aztech FCC ID: I38MMSN853

Aztech FCC ID: I38-MMSN853 A few years ago I got a free computer. I set up Windows 98 on it, then had to move, stored the computer away, and didn't do anything else with it until now. I'm trying to identify the sound card that's inside it. It doesn't seem to have the specific model written on it …

Re: Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro Restoration
Posted on 2015-07-10, 22:37
I was a charity shop this morning and saw a SideWinder Precision Pro lying in one corner with its stick hanging crookedly to one side, it had no price on it, so I figured I could get it for next to nothing and sure enough I did: it cost me R20 ($2). Does anyone have any experience repairing and or …

Re: I feel stupid.... how to make my MT32 working!
Posted on 2015-07-01, 05:30
I know it is annoying, but I have no luck with my mt32. I hope it is not broken. I have Pentium 2, with dos 7.10 and Awe 64 gold. I hooked it MT32. I have AWE64 configured in Autoexec. Maybe someone can spot a problem if you list the lines in your autoexec.bat file. Maybe your problem is something …

Does any of the info here help? http://www.wolfenstein3d.co.uk/troubleshooting.htm He talks about tweaking config.sys and emm386 not loading high by default. Or considering your mem output, could this be a case of "too much" memory for the game to detect? or xms when the game wants ems?

Thanks for the tip. I found the ongoing vogons thread about dgvoodoo 2 and will look into testing it with Atlantis 2 on Win7x64 later.

GOG now has the 1994 X-Wing and 1995 Tie Fighter CD versions. If you don't see them listed in your account, try refreshing your account.

Have you tried using dgVoodoo 2 on it in Windows 7? The game wasn't made for 3dfx, only DirectX 6. Does dgVoodoo 2 do something that helps even with non-3dfx games? About running in Windows 7 x64 natively... Best I can figure out, there's some background process on my computer that occasionally …

Re: Any DOSBox installers for Origin games?

I can't recall seeing that instruction before. I suppose if you don't need any fancy features, then you can do without the Daum build, but I don't see why you wouldn't want them. Certainly, nothing at all unusual is involved in running an SVN build. And yes, you can just install it in a separate …
Re: Any DOSBox installers for Origin games?
Posted on 2015-06-03, 15:37
I'd been thinking of trying SVN Daum anyway, since it has many nice features. I'm a little confused about the instruction at http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ though: I recommend you to use clean SVN build first before using my build. Does that mean you should install SVN Daum "over" a folder where clean SVN …

Does it only inflate the three files, then? Yes. Just those three. Concatenating the privater.zip files into a single zip file (and then attempting to extract) produced much the same result, with simllar offset errors, but managed to extract 5 files instead of 3. Sometimes the debug-enabled version …
Re: Any DOSBox installers for Origin games?

When I wrote the Exult instructions it was pretty clear which files needed to be combined. The filename0* files to a zip, the filename1* files to a zip, the filename2* to a zip... It's not something proprietary of the pkzip version, it's just something Origin did, instead of relying on the archive …
Re: Any DOSBox installers for Origin games?
Posted on 2015-05-31, 15:18
Well, I think you can manually unzip spanned zip archives using IZArc or other relatively recent unzipping programs. The trick is to rename the disk 2 version of privater.zip to privater.z01, then rename the disk 3 version to privater.z02, and so on, then put all the files in the same directory and …

Wing Commander 1 is on three 3.5" floppies. It has no box, but came with the paper manual, pictures and descriptions of the ships, etc. I have no reason to believe the floppies are not original. At least they "look" official and have official-looking files on them. The files on WC1 disk 1 are arrow. …
