Imma gonna throw this out there - Can we move to individual game entries on vogonswiki? Unless there is another one somewhere already that provides this information, the ability to search for a particular game and get some version history/patch notes that were made, requirements from box (if we want), and specific speed-based compatibility information would be very useful.
Currently, this thread is tied to http://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/List_of_C … sensitive_games. It is a helpful list, and I am glad it is there. And thanks, clueless1 for picking up that ball and rolling it again! I think we could retain the list and(or?) use separate game entries. Eventually push beyond speed issues and even list anything related to tweaking settings, sound specifics - i.e. "16-bit recommended for sound mixing" or "Sound was originally composed using an SC-55," or "trouble with Sound Blaster DSP ver xxx," etc., EMS needed/recommended.
In theory, you could build some quality pages for specific games over time. You wouldn't have to always Google-fu your way through vogons threads for specific title issues, and you would be aware of recent patches for old games. For instance - is everyone reading this thread also aware of the incredible updates that have recently been made for sound and animation issues in the Jill of the Jungle trilogy? Jill of the Jungle Sound Effects Newrisingsun's most recent patch was released one week ago.
It would be nice for anyone to be able to install a game, hit the wiki, and possibly nip an issue in the bud. ("Why is Commander Keen 4 having some scrolling problems in my new build? ... OOH. I am using a Matrox Millennium. Hmm.")
Yeah. It would be a lot of work. But I'm willing to put some time in on it if we can establish a format.
I considered creating a new thread about this, but the birth would come from the speed sensitivity notes here.
