you can not have various shades of black because black is black which means all shades will look the same, since they will all never reflect any light 😮.

The problem is that it is substantially more likely for a game to be a waste of your money then what it was ages ago, back then you had the whole first portion of the official game as a demo. Now you're lucky to get the first level of the official game, now a days you get some "test level" that …

yes, the high "buy it now" price is just to inflate the normal bidding price.

The probelem these days aside from copy protection? back in the 90's there was what? 5 or 10 good games per year and 50 bad games? now there's 5 or 10 good games and 200 bad games per year? With that in mind, chances for a good game to get overlooked these days is pretty high and this does nothing …
Re: xtremly odd this game requires direct x 7 and the the game says I have direct x 3. My version is way higher than 3

You can install Direct X 6 under Windows XP without problems, I don't see whats wrong with installing Direct x 7. Direct x 6 just adds the missing Quartz.dll to your Direct x 9 installation.

actually you needed to run wolf3d.exe -GOOBERS to get debug mode in later versions IIRC.

Try the D3D patch . It looks much better than the software version, and worked OK for me under XP. Should work with the "Gold" version of DK, too. DK is a DOS and Win95 game, there should be a DOS installer on the original CD. It is a shame the Direct3D patch only works correctly in Isometric view …

Yes, they did. You need unofficial modded INF files to install the 18x.xx drivers on the 7xxx and 6xxx series cards. I think 175.xx was the last to support (officially) 7xxx and 6xxx series. www.laptopvideo2go.com (look at the driver downloads section on there forums for links to the modded INF …
General Midi in Vista?
Posted on 2008-11-17, 14:26
Hello, is there a way to play Midi files in Vista using General Midi instead of Wavetable synthesis? I use a Creative XFI Extreme Music sound card running the latest drivers and software. It was very easy to change the midi device under XP but under Vista Home Premium 32bit, there does not appear to …

Quake 1 is probably the most atmospheric game I've played, it really did feel like you were in some kind of hellish place with terrible monsters lurking around each corner, it also featured some rather nifty booby traps for the unaware player and some nice secrets ;) quake 2 completely changed it …
DOSBox CUDA?
Posted on 2008-11-08, 04:49
Hello, sorry if this was already asked. How feasible is it to move DOS emulation to CUDA? would it result in any performance gains? (I'm not sure if it would since GPU's excel in the field of parallel processing)
Re: Mass Effect PC to require Activation (Mother f'ing EA)

Ok, I have changed my stance, I hate Online Activation a lot now! Why the change? I learned you can't get EBGames 7 day guarantee with games that require Online Activation because once the game is activated, it can't be installed on any other machine. I am of course talking about the activation in …

This release is buggy with WindowsME, stick with 6.05 if you use WindowsME in it (no i dont have a 98 disc and ME performs just as good as 98 so long as the environment is stable)
