D2X W32 supports D1 and is known to be less buggy than the regular D1X. Though, I think you NEED descent 2 to play descent 1.. See my previous post.

Thanks for the reply, Newest build: probably not relevant since I have ATI hardware but yes, switched between fullscreen and window several times, no crashes as usual. Though, it takes a while to switch between them, thus it takes a while to refresh the windows GUI. (game images on open windows)

You are right, in some cases, it is simply NOT possible. But I was thinking, if a human can make up a somewhat misinterpreted 3D environment out of 320*200 pixels, why couldn't a high end pc do so? (same goes for hq2x, 2xSAI in a 2D environment) This filter, like hq2x should only use the outputted …

Another thing, for some reason, there's this filtering thing that has been playing in my mind lately, and I would like to get it of my chest. I've been thinking about a new filtering technique that more relates to 3D games. (while I'm not that much of a programmer, it's just an idea) Since a lot of …

Weird, I remember swapping between the two last builds and having this problem (so with the same config) Guess what, it doesn't seem to happen anymore. Sorry for the possible false alarm. Anyway I did some performance testing. On a 1.7Ghz I found that mame3x was not significantly (but somewhat) …

Graphics sure are looking crisp now. :cool: But I do notice that the latest build(27-4)filtering looks different...(a bit messy) The build before that looked like in the screenshots posted...the difference is very clear at the dosbox console. It looks a bit like inaccurate scaling and that some …

I've used to play Pinball Fantasies back then and I'm pretty sure I used left and right shift keys like in some other Pinball games. I've played this game in Dosbox on a x86 machine about a year ago and it worked fine, except for a bit of flickering...which might have been solved by now. The …

They are not ripped directly from the game i think. 2 years ago or so I've read that games from hexen, and probably any other doom engine based game used snd files for ingame tunes. A converter had been written to convert the snd files to midi, so the original opl data probably goes lost. Then again …

I believe that's not possible. You should make sure both machines use dosbox since the network is virtual and only exists within dosbox. I think that ipx is emulated through tcp/ip. the ipxnet connection can only be emulated using a tcp/ip internet (or lan) connection and that way you can use ipx. I …

Me again, I'm the one who posted under guest a few post ago. Yay...I'm using the plugin right now, listening to some old hexen midi's. It doesn't get close to the real thing but hey, it's FM.

Is it theoretically possible to generate a sf2 file (a soundfont) since dosbox can dump it's FM synth music in a wav anyway? FM SoundBlaster Emulation really would be faster in that case. You should load a soundblaster sf2 file in the soundbank for cards who support it, eg sb live! and set general …
