I'm sure if this 'project' were to be done, the mission would drift and it'd probably put up copyrighted commercial software like i've seen some fan-made "windows update collections" do before. So many want to play the savior of convenience... I mainly use Win95/98 in PCem and my good lazy sources o...

Seeing some hard freeze issues with Banshee on Win95+DX6.1 and some older PCI Banshee drivers (1.01.03 - Nov 98). Hot433 and GA686BX tested. EDIT: can happen to Win98se+DX7 as well. Dxdiag will hardlock at the first frame of the Direct3D test. Half-Life can also give a CMDFIFO fatal using the Defaul...

Could you please make a short but detailed guide on how to make a Pi executable? It wouldn't be anything different than the linux readme. All that's really "missing" are distro-specific instructions to get dependencies, and that varies (RaspiOS/Raspbian are debian-derived and would have the same ex...

I'd be wary of crossing into the "HWTnL age" around fall 2002 with commercial Direct3D titles. NFSHP2 doesn't work on many pre-Geforce2 cards to the point there'll be snarky debug textures forced on some very-much-better-than-Voodoo3-but-still-not-quite-Geforce2-featured hardware. This was also when...

I hadn't tested NHL2000 yet because I didn't have the NHL2000 demo on hand. I do know NHL2001 has issues on Voodoo2 with face textures overwriting text characters, but that doesn't happen with Voodoo3. Another thing though, I do recall some games on a real Voodoo2 that have broken text (Jedi Outcast...

Any stuff/info about the Rage XL? It's allegedly a better Rage Pro with better alpha blending...

My Superbike bug seems to affect the 1998 and 1999 games also! :S Anyway, the only fatal on here is in a forgotten 3dfx tank sim which came before the Banshee (and possibly doesn't support it) GA686BX, Pentium II 233, Voodoo3 3000, SB16, 256MB, Windows 98SE: Works: - Army Men Toys in Space (demo) - ...

Going through 2000 discs now. I haven't ran into any major issues thus far. (Demos of full games i've have are mostly excluded) I can probably expect issues once I get through the 1999 discs as I get closer to games from before the V3/Banshee's release... GA686BX, Pentium II 233, Voodoo3 3000, SB16,...

Yeah I can't reproduce the SFA issues anymore either. I'm certain I haven't changed drivers from stock 1.07.00. Weird. SBK2001 does work on a Banshee at least. I've tried a config with older V3 drivers (1.03.04) and it works there too, so it could be a driver-related regression. Or maybe it's Direct...

You don't.

Running into a lot of Bad CMDFIFO0 015f0808 with OpenGL games like Alice, Arachronox, Tribes 2. Quake3 can do it when played in a window. MDK2 can also set it off when "Default OpenGL driver" is queried for extension info in the launcher. Overbrights look good now! Noticed the emulated CLUT doesn't ...

How would you make a script to load the game from DOS on Windows 3.1, There's a reason why many DOS games from around Windows 3.x's time shipped with .PIF files. Win95 also has some built-in recognition for many DOS games (before 1995) to produce a PIF on the spot to boot into DOS for them to work....

It's a GL1.1 game where extensions are queried and used for more features (ARB shader stuff for glows mainly, that's the only thing V3 is missing in the experience besides 512/1024 textures). It works on a 3dfx Banshee too (a real one). Even a Rage Pro can drive Jedi Academy (with some texture flash...

While i did mention that Jedi Academy works, It's a little different than Outcast as it lacks overbrights. However there's a very weird bug with the character creation screen that causes the inner 3d viewport to focus above the head when the head is selected, which has me thinking it's a CPU bug. Do...

A 440LX board from 97 could take a Deschutes 300 and Celeron 300A, but can't clock them up above that much (at least on my board) Don't forget how popular AMD K6 and Cyrix6x86MX were as budget alternatives that also had the (then very marketed) MMX technology. Software Quake were their achilles' hee...

and a real computer has knobs, buttons, wheels, and wires all over the place. Should PCem transform into looking like a VST plugin interface too?

as for Banshees, the Diamond Monster Fusion had this for a while. The most frequent Banshee advert i've seen. The Fusion's clocked higher than what's emulated though (115mhz supposedly)

Looking through CGWs in 97, i've only seen a Pentium MMX ad in from April to June 97. November 98 had a late Pentium II ad (to promote the defunct SoftwareForPCs.com site (which was changed to intel.com/software in later prints), the alien grunt is coming out of a slot 1 P2. This would be for the ne...

Progress, but I still land on this error at the linking part

Is it time to give this a bump? Have a slight itch to post this aforementioned US TV spot for the Voodoo3 . It's an old low bitrate video though (probably a direct ancient .mov upload), i'm sure there's some massive mid-99 TBS/TNT commercials only VHS digitization that has this in there. The games s...

I'm seeing the same strcpy/strncpy build failures with MinGW 4.7.2

I think that's more of a matter for downstream... most open source projects out there don't have specialized linux binaries provided by themselves, and again, it's not difficult to compile PCem on the Pi. It's not like it's MAME where you'd need to crosscompile on a modern machine. I'm sure that fis...

The 6033P there has me optimistic about the Daewoos (some of which were also sold in the US)....

BongEm, a galaxian-hardware-derived emulator for DOS, specifically tuned for 286, EGA and CMS, only playing Jetsoft's Bongo

It's an early VGA artillery game from 1988 that uses VGA and can't start beyond the intro screen on anything using a FPU (including 387s). I don't know if it actually utilizes the FPU, it's made in Turbo Basic on a PS/2 Model 80.

Game works if I use a 486SX.

SCI games tend to not like faster CPUs, have you tried a 486 guest? Also I remember having sound issues with QFG4 when i've played it on my 486 some 25 years ago. Stuttered speech, mostly. I've never had experience with external midi modules. QFG4 did however, have a bit of a reputation for being a ...
