there is no point in playing glide versions of dn3d/blood/shadow warrior! Yes, but for a different reason. For all games except Blood exist very good modern source ports. they don't turn the game more 3D, they just apply billinear filtering on the screen, nothing really special or usefull.... And …

Why don't you use the Windows version of the game? Ran fine for me on XP (with the exception of the firecracker bug - but this should happen with the DOS version and VDMSound as well). If you are playing the Windows version, why are you using VDMSound? This program is not needed, because it is for …

My only conclusion is that they planned & started putting together their first old games collection back when 0.63 was the current version, and never bothered to update. Someone at Adventure gamers analyzed the files in the collections and even at release the newest one (configuration file) was …

Re: Lines in Blood for GliDOS and no cut scenes

Yes, I had the same problem; cutscenes only work without the 3dfx patch. But in my opinion the patch isn't worth it anyway. You may get filtered textures, but at the same time lose the three dimensional voxel objects. But as Glidos already said, there is only a beta version of the patch available.

I remembered, that some of the old Sierra games didn't accept the Compatibility Settings directly. Create a batch file inside the GK directory with only the following lines: SIERRAW PAUSE and apply the Compatibility Settings on this batch file and use the batch file to start the game. (GKCD.BAT …

I think what he means, is installing MS-Dos inside of Dosbox. I also had problems with this some time ago and finally ended up in installing it under QEMU instead and transfer the files later. Maybe it works better with the current development version?

This is really great news. 3D and proper sound support were the only important things missing on VMWare, otherwise it is by far best Virtual Machine for using Windows 9x. Now that Vista is coming, this program gets even more important, seeing as many old Windows games won't run anymore.

Yes, since obviously the installer only checks the first few drive letters - as Hazelke wrote, these seem to be limited to drives D: and E:. Actually I had the same problems with my own HD/DVD installers for some other games. I never thought that anyone would use a drive letter above I:, but after …

In Dosbox you could also use "/" instead of "\". On German keyboards (don't know if Swiss is the same) you press the "-" key for this sign in DosBox.

True, but at least you can escape some of these "functions" - like the forced disabling of ports or the degraded presentation of video and audio material.
