I too have had an IBM 60GB GXP hard drive, and had it fail... I knew it was time to replace it when one day I tried to do defrag, and I got an error message saying that it was about time to replace it, since there were too many bad sectors for it too defrag, hehe. Fortunatly, I didn't loose anything …

well... here are my specs... 1.4 GHz Pentium 4 640 MB PC800 RDRAM 100GB 7200RPM Western Digital Harddrive 16X DVD-ROM drive 40x12x40 Plextor CD-RW drive nVidia GeForce3 Ti500 w/ 64 MB DDR-RAM Hauppage WinTV-250 PVR Sound Blaster Live! and then... 4.1 ATP4 Altec Lansing Speakers some 15" ViewSonic …

It's not a very old game, but... it doesn't run very well at all on latter OS's like 2000 or XP. In fact, multiple parts crash. There are a number of patches available here: http://www.eidosinteractive.com/support/search.html?gmid=44 But despite those, it still doesn't play all that well in OS's …

The problem is that, while there are many gamers on the bleeding edge of computing, there are many, many others that don't have/want/need/desire a DVD-ROM drive (for various reasons, including the millions that buy crappy computers from crappy OEMs (eg. HP) that cut off the price by using a CD …

Actually, I don't know - I lent it to a friend of mine not to long ago - when I get it back, I'll take a look at it... although, iirc, the DVD rom only had 900mb of data, so it wasn't anything that couldn't fit on two CD's...

The only DVD based game I can add to the list is Descent: Freespace. I don't know if it was ever released retail, though - my copy is an OEM copy...

have you tried on the copy of PC-DOS that VPC came with? That's my only guess - maybe you could email the person who sent you the disk image as well?

Based on my experience, VGS requires less overhead than ePSXe, but... overall, ePSXe is better / more compatable / etc. One big thing VGS has going for it, though, is ease of use. Applying the patches may not be too easy, but you can always have someone else do that for you. And even the patching …

Only problem with that is some games have CD copy protection that use sub channel data, which most CD readers aren't able to read well enough to reproduce (i guess). So, unless you got a really nice CD reader, then it won't work for newer games 🙁

so what exactly caused this corruption? without knowing that, i would suggest you just reformat... 😮

maybe Connectix (makes of Virtual PC) would see reason in scrapping their emulation of the S3 Trio 32/64 chipset, and emulate a Voodoo 6000 (or whatever the top of the line voodoo is)! 😀 Or maybe they could offer both!

I'll attach the readme that came with it sometime! That has a whole lot of info on the program! 😀

you mean purchasing the product, or just the product itself? *is confussed*

it doesn't actually look like any of his tests were succesful 🙁

zophar.net has some glide wrappers avialable for download: http://www.zophar.net/utilities/glidewrapper.html How does that wrapper compare to those? If it was released by 3dfx themselves, it'd probably be better, but it may not be designed to take advantage of all that it can, now...

I recently purchased Mo'Slo 4BIZ, and have tested it under Windows XP and VirtualPC 4.3 with DOS and WFW 3.11. Mo'Slo 4BIZ has two slowdown methods - the second one is supposed to be better for some video applications, but only works on Win 9x / Me. The second method, however, does work with DOS on …
