Hevin Moonhunter. I'll try to remember to add you to my friends list. My brother and I made a guild but are currently the only ones in it. We have a cape but not hall (yet).
Re: Problems running GWBASIC graphics modes

I doubt it's done that way, as the calls would no longer return correct results if you use graphics functions or memory accesses to draw pixels across the text. I would think it more likely that the text information would be mirrored in another part of video memory or something, but I really don't …

There, I moved your thread for you. 1. DOSBox 0.61 is ancient. I have no idea why so many people are using a version that must be over a year old by now. Use 0.63 or a CVS build . 2. Is this the floppy, or the CD-ROM version? 3. Did you try the dynamic core? 4. Yes, unfortunately your system specs …

It looks terrible in IE, so I hope Snover likes getting complaints. They won't come from me, however, as I use Firefox. Snover: One thing I don't like is that the about page is squashed into the middle third of my screen, which wouldn't be so bad except it's so squashed that there's a scroll bar on …
Re: X-Wing Collectors Series (Windows version)
Posted on 2005-07-04, 20:53
I had a copy of the Windows versions of X-Wing laying around and decided to finally give it a try. Had to use the patch mentioned in this thread to get hardware acceleration in X-Wing. Now my main problem is that the engine sound of my spacecraft drowns out other game sounds and music - anyone else …

What causes Apache to spawn additional processes? Is it a DoS attack or something?

VOGONS server troubles?
Posted on 2005-07-04, 19:01
I've been having problems the last few days with the VOGONS server, usually for around a half hour at a time. Sometimes my browser will wait forever for a response, sometimes I'll get connection refused errors, and sometimes I'll get SQL errors (too many connections / unable to connect / etc.). …
Re: Sound through external speakers

For the earlier games, you can also try searching for AGISB, which is a patch that makes the older Sierra games (AGI games) output to the Adlib/Soundblaster that VDMSound emulates instead of to the PC Speaker.

Re: Sound through external speakers
Posted on 2005-07-04, 18:57
The earlier ones in the series (1 through 3 probably), only PC speaker sound is supported (maybe Tandy too if you run in DOSBox). For the newer ones, you'll need to run the INSTALL utility with VDMSound and select which sound card to use (Soundblaster or Adlib are probably the best choices for use …

I think I was able to use Cakewalk to send SysEx banks at Munt. Quest Studios has some that have been separated from the MIDIs.
Re: Mixer output for Munt
Posted on 2005-07-04, 16:09
It's a known issue. I think I opened a feature request on it on the sourceforge project page for Munt. Not to defend it or anything, but I also noticed that Roland Virtual Sound Canvas doesn't use the MIDI mixer channel either (although the Yamaha XG softsynth(s) seem to IIRC)

Interesting. Sounds like it's a wrapper for running DirectDraw games in DOS using VESA 2.0, which is less useful than the other way around unfortunately (but still intriguing).
