Re: Lithtech game performance

Posted on 2020-01-19, 23:13

in Windows
Shogo basically won't run for me on Windows 10. Could be due to the dual Intel + nVidia GPU setup in my laptop, or something else. I tried all the suggestions - wrappers, etc. Best I could do was run in some wacky mode where everything was stretched badly, which made for a terrible experience. It …

Re: AGP Card for MVP3 motherboard

My brother had a K6-2/380 in a Via (Apollo MVP3?) motherboard with an AGP Banshee, and it did okay. My PII-450 with AGP TNT1 performed better though. Also, it was necessary to install Via AGP drivers in Win98 to get the best performance and stability.

This is listed everywhere as a DOS game. Have you tried using DOSBox? No, I tried using different Dos machines. This thread is about old Windows games that don't run well or at all on modern Windows machines. DOSBox or other emulators/simulators/VMs provide feasible solutions for running most DOS …

Fairly sure I've heard of people running all of those on Windows 10 without problems. If you're listing games some people can't get running on modern systems then you can basically list every Windows game in existence. You also haven't defined "Runs well" or how the list regards emulators and …

Problematic Windows games list

Hello everyone. I was thinking it might be helpful to maintain a list of older Windows games that don't run well on modern Windows. Post any info you have about problematic games and/or any possible workarounds or existing discussions on this forum, and I'll add it to the list. Windows 10: AMBER: …

the TNT and TNT2 cards very highly popular in the late 90s. I remember me and a friend were competing against each other to be the first to replace our TNT cards with TNT 2 cards. It allowed for playing even better Windows 9x based games. My PC back then was a AMD K6-2, I also had an overclocked …

From what I recall (it's been a while), you need a VGA core with VBE 1.2. Something like an S3 card with native VBE 1.2 to work in higher resolutions in DOS, rather than a VBE 2.0 card downgraded to VBE 1.2. My Stealth3D 3000 (S3 ViRGE/VX) appears to only have a VESA 1.2 BIOS, but the game still …

Update 2: SkyNet runs, until I try to start a mission in 640x480 mode, at which point it freezes at a black screen. This is with the unofficial patch installed, with retail CD-ROM actually still in the drive. If I run it via GAME.EXE instead of SKYNET.EXE, I can start the mission in 640x480, but it …

Update: I cracked it, at least for Daggerfall (still need to test SkyNet, but have high hopes due to it using the same engine)! After going to all the trouble of moving my Win98SE/DOS7 install from the 400GB HDD to an 8.4GB one and having the same issue, I reversed the no-CD hack and tried to run …

Re: Terminator: SkyNet

My guess would be dying hdd, or at least an inappropriately sized drive for the time. Despite being formatted down to 2GB FAT16, the games might not know how to get to that part of the drive. They shouldn't care, the BIOS should be taking care of that, but...Bethesda... Can confirm that both run on …

Normally I just game on a modern machine via DOSbox. However, I'm currently trying to get a stable, compatible DOS setup on an old computer for testing and backing up of old games and other stuff. I'm also doing it to test out some old hardware I have but have never had the chance to use, and also …

I've run into a few that freak out in DOSBox if you don't configure it to report a low virtual HDD size. In any case, I created an extended partition with a 2GB FAT16 D: partition inside, copied Daggerfall over, edited Z.CFG, and it still bombed with the same error. I'm stumped!

Re: Terminator: SkyNet

Now Daggerfall is reporting that it can't open politic.pak. I thought maybe it was because my 400GB HDD was formatted as one max-size ~136GB FAT32 partition, so I resized it to 32GB but the same thing happens. What the heck is going on with these games? Edit: Maybe 32GB is still too big? I guess DOS …

Maybe it needs less than 16mb if ram? Have you tried using xmsdsk /t to eat up enough memory so you end up with less than 16mb free? Well, slightly more than that but yeah. The game requires 14-16 minimum, so I doubt it would also have a problem with slightly higher amounts. Could test with HDPMI …
