Whoa. So they do. Problem is, there's no easy way to tell what's on these CDs.. They tend to upload first, finesse the user interface later. Try the ZIP viewer if the contents are compressed in a ZIP by adding a / to the end of the download link. I refer to this hack here. (There's probably a way …

blaming Sinofsky and uncle Fester for the debacle I guess you misunderstood this news? I thought you referred to it earlier in the thread. Windows 8 is a disaster. Period. Paul Thurrott shares some of his inside information, and it's pretty damning. According to him, Sinofsky's team - even up to …

What I had also done in the past was to create a stub GLIDE.DLL to redirect GLIDE calls from GLIDE 2.11 to GLIDE 2.4x. It worked with MechWarrior 2 3Dfx almost perfectly. Unfortunately, I lost the work due to HDD crash and since dgVoodoo came to the rescue, I void the plan to recreate the work. All …

Did not realize there were so many. Thank you all. :-) more than I can chew... Do all of these have the computer with a main role? I went to see Electric Dreams and the argument it revolves around the computer, and also "the Net" and "You've got mail" and "Wargames" too. I'm not looking for movies …

- There are a few modern motherboards with ISA slots, mostly Intel based. These are usually called "industrial motherboards". They do not work with most classic soundcards that need Bus Mastering support (IIRC) I think that should say DMA and not Bus Mastering. Although ISA bus mastering exists the …

The original 32-oscillator Ensoniq DOC (used in the Apple IIgs) was the ES-5503. From what I've found, the Ensoniq EPS (original model, not the EPS 16+) featured the "DOC-II", but source state that it is not the same chip as the ES-5505 (OTIS) or ES-5506 (OTTO, found on the Soundscape). Source: …

Really if the only game you want to play with GliDOS is Tomb Raider then you can do that with yhkwongs DOSBox build but you will not be able to use the high res textures. Or: Supports TRX high-quality textures - much higher resolution than the original game (see Tomb Raider Xtra). Restores …

I doubt ZorkTools will ever work properly outside of actual hardware. In DOSBox, you are surely correct. In other emulators... Sure it will work (if not now then at some point), you'll just have to test it under actual PC emulators like PCem or MESS instead of DOSBox. But... as this is the support …
