Re: Forsaken

Posted on 2014-09-13, 23:31

Something did change or the game wouldn't go from working to not working. Figuring out what did change is what you need to do to get it working again. First step is uninstalling (making sure to remove all files created by the game and its registry keys) and reinstalling to see if you get the same …

If it ran the first time and didn't the second time... Find out what changed between those two times. Uninstall the game, reinstall it and see what happens.

Re: Earthworm Jim SE and 320x240 games

Important to mention that if you add resolutions below 800x600, Windows and Nvidia resolution settings will not allow you to switch to them. Third party applications will. If that's your problem, add the custom resolutions and then try something like HRC . You'll need that if you want to run 320x240 …

ZellSF your name seems familiar, are you on Shmups forum too? Right, yes Earthworm Jim 2 had a DOS release, it's on GoG. As for adding the resolution, that's an interesting idea. Wouldn't my monitor need to support it too? As I understand it 320x240 PC isn't the same as 320x240 15khz that you …

I think it's up to GPU drivers to support resolutions, not Windows itself. Both ATI and Nvidia supports custom resolutions (and I've tested 320x240 on a Nvidia card). Some old games do have broken fullscreen, but that's what borderless window utilities are for. There's also wrappers that will resize …

Re: WipEout 2097/XL

I've tried Wipeout XL on various setups. Win7, Win8, 32-bit, 64-bit, ATI and Nvidia. Worked without the problems mentioned here on all of them. I haven't tried my 2097 disc (different region, same game). Game cracks adds a LOT of troubleshooting headaches. Especially when you just say you're using a …

Re: 1024x768 Games Nvidia GPU Scaling

Posted on 2014-08-23, 12:54

in Windows
Bored today, just to showcase what I think he's talking about: Here is Starcraft resized bi-linearly, which I believe is what the Nvidia drivers do. Image looks nice, if blurry. Here it's resized using nearest neighbor, the sort of "sharp" resizing I think he wants. Notice the uneven scaling of the …

Another vote for "works perfectly here". Win8 x64. Try changing the sampling rate on your sound card. Are you sure the CD audio plays at all and it's not some other sound effect that cuts out? This is one of those games that wants the audio CD to be in the first drive letter... Does the CD track …

Re: Motorhead - no CD music

Isn't IndirectSound used just to restore surround sound in games? It's the difference between the game running or crashing to desktop for me, so it obviously have other (if unintended) uses. Also fixes The Lost Vikings 2's music playback for whatever reason (that's not CDDA though). I would try it …

You could also try IndirectSound, I know I said it probably won't work but it's worth testing. Try changing sound driver in the game settings too.

I just tested and it doesn't appear to care what drive the disc is in actually. I'm going with problem with the disc image. Alternatively, is CD volume even turned on in the in game settings?

No, "Digital Illusions" should be under "Wow6432Node". CDDA works out of the box* here on a Win8 setup btw** (and I really doubt there are any CDDA compatibility differences between Win7 and Win8) so the issue is either with your image or your configuration. Remember CDDA games often only look for …

Re: Windows XP and Windows 7 - Playing Old Games Over LAN

Posted on 2014-08-16, 01:10

Just thinking out loud here, no real clue what your problem is, but... Check for additional network adapters, physical or virtual. Disable all of them not needed. Win7 has three network profiles you can assign to each network you connect to: Home, Work or Public. Make sure to try all three. List …

He's probably just complaining about bilinear scaling, which is what Nvidia GPUs do when you tell them to scale the image; nothing to do about that. There's no setting to change that or any aspect of how the scaling is done (personally I want an option for exact 2x/3x/4x/etc scaling). What you can …

I'm not the only person that had this problem you know. Why others are saying they're able to get the game working I'll never understand. You're probably the only person with the problem who knows about a fix and refuses to do it despite me trying to go through all your worries about it. You need …

I refuse to turn to google for this one because I'm paranoid about modifying system files. Especially on a OS that get's mad at you when you attempt to do so. Well you can keep that refusal up and never get the game running or you can try the saner approach of letting us go through the worries of …
