Re: Where the devil is the TR1 GOLD download!?!

Posted on 2003-11-27, 05:28

:) Well I'll have TRUB as an escape for the weekend. That was just too easy. Unzipped the exe into the default directory. Zap the CDCheck and EXE file size tests in GLIDOS.INI. Set the resolution and Lara was back in brilliant resolution (1280x1024 seems as good as 1600x1200 to me) and hi-fidelity …

Where the devil is the TR1 GOLD download!?!

Posted on 2003-11-27, 01:55

I'm down to my last hair and nerve. Every search I make yields forums discussing the TR1 GOLD download, from here, from there from neverwhere and none of the download sites seem to be working or even exist any more. So.... where is the infamous TR1 GOLD download (Glide version) that works? I have …

I believe the answer is "It depends.."

Taken directly from the my VDMS.INI file: "maxCoord = 1000 ; bottom and right range trimming, decrease to boost joystick sensitivity, increase if jerky [250]." The 1000 and the [250] changes are mine (250) was the installation default. The instructional text is from the VDMS installation. I use a …

Win XP Tweaks for 16 bit Apps - Glidos & VDMSound

Posted on 2003-11-16, 07:22

In my quest for the perfect tweak (I gave up on the Holy Grail) I came across one of interest and fabricated another for TR1 play from pursuing Windows Task priority adjustment mechanisms. DISCLAIMER: I have tested and am using both of these on a Win XP Home installation; Sony VAIO 1.5 Ghz, 512 Mb …

Quite true, but many have tried and many have...

Hi Glidos! Been there, done it and have the T-shirt tattooed on my upper forehead in reverse English so I can read it in the mirror. I've been engaged in this subject in four different forums (Glidos, VDMSound TR - Stella's and Eidos. Many have said "I should be able to...." but no one has been able …

Lowest Letter Drive Problem?

Posted on 2003-11-14, 21:44

I'm coming in on this one late but isn't the lack of abient sounds (wind, secret found, rock slides..) a symptom ot TR1's insistance the CD be in the Lowest Letter Drive? I found this to be true EVEN IF THE GAME DRIVE IS VIRTUAL, as mine is. In other words physical bus location is irrelevant. Not …

Sounds (or NOT sounds!) familiar.

TRNovice, Did you perform an UPGRADE to XP (NOT a "clean install")? I so from what OS did you upgrade? It might help to check out my hair pulling session getting it to work: Tomb 1 + VDM + Glidos = No Game Action Sounds .... at: http://www.vogons.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1854&highlight=Glidos+ …

Re: GeForce warning?

Posted on 2003-11-04, 21:20

I got mine "straight from the factory" at: http://www.nvidia.com Follow the "Download Drivers" link from there. My version/filename was: 45.23_win2kxp_english_whql.exe But the current one on the download site is: 52.16_win2kxp_english_whql.exe Hmm...... maybe I need to download again... It is an 8.7 …

Everything...... hmmm....

Posted on 2003-11-04, 02:33

Definitely different than my symptoms. Everything, audio and video, pauses then starts again ........ With no other info, I can freely make suggestions which you have probably already checked. 1) Look for an application /system routine running periodically/scheduled. (Antivirus software likes to do …

Hestitation Blues...

Posted on 2003-11-03, 21:35

Yes there really is a blues song of that name. Glidos and VDMSound work fine with my Nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX400 on an XP Home installation (Sony VAIO). I too was concerned about the warning but ignored it with no problem. If by hesitation you mean a lag time between sound and video, I have the same …

Re: XP Pro and EMS memory

From a late night forum browser: This is an excerpt from a problem solution I had to deal with re: XP/Home and the DOS environment (Tomb Raider+Glidos+VDMSound). You may have already tried this, if not I hope it might help. START EXCERPT: For future reference to debug MSDOS/XP environment variable …

We have all been there, but.....

Posted on 2003-08-27, 20:01

Sounds like all of us have made the mistake of "trusting the experts' before (at least once?!). Most of Norton's products are pretty good but an unskilled novice will hear their praises and place blind faith in them. It's compounded by the way WinDoctor presents the fix choices. Something to the …

Who cares about the spoon anyway?

Posted on 2003-08-24, 05:41

After spending most of the weekend fussing with my set of problems I find this thread entertaining. My system is XP Home Edition with a DVD/CD ROM and a CD-RW. I have Glidos and VMMSound installed to play TR1. I downloaded Virtual CD 5.0 (free 30 day trial run) and, some time later, came to …

What, are you in some kind of coalition of recovering abused keyboards? Actually, yes I am... It was a 24x7 crew of 12 people per shift (4 shift crews, 3 on 1 off) of Chemical Workers. In their quiet moments (usually 3:30 AM Sunday morning) they received some arcane thrill from finding out ways to …

Re: TOMB1 + VDM + Glidos = No Game Action Sounds

Posted on 2003-07-22, 04:33

!!!! SUCCESS AT LAST !!!! The catch was that I had recently UPGRADED from Windows ME to Windows XP HE. As a result, the upgrade process "helped" out by inserting this in the bottom of the AUTOEXEC.NT file which is executed by MSDOS programs via their PIF file to set up the program environment: REM …

Re: TOMB1 + VDM + Glidos = No Game Action Sounds

Posted on 2003-07-20, 05:19

I'm confused too because everything looks fine. Yes it is Windows XP SP1. I installed and uninstalled several times, TOMB1, VDMSound and GLIDOS. Yes GLIDOS does generate the GLIDOS.BAT file: DOSDRV gldvesa.exe Tomb.exe and the GLIDOS.INI entry: Selected: Tomb Raider Name: Tomb Raider Executable: C:\ …
