@Zoomer: I only tried reference drivers. I suspect it is an issue of the newer Glide version not really compatible with the old Game code which was probably developed with Voodoo/Voodoo² in mind. I suspect it might display correctly on those cards. As stated in the thread on oldunreal.com it is not …

@Han: Nah, that's ok. If the device pops up on eBay in my area I'll just buy it for a few bucks, check the input lag and re-sell it if it sucks. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for all responses so far. @Han: Thanks for pointing that 20" inch model from HP out. I didn't know that one yet and will be on the lookout for it to measure input lag. So far I had very little luck with 20" models in that regard. All models I came across (ViewSonic, Eizo, Dell) had serious …

Hey guys, since most 17-inch TFT models have a 5:4 resolution of 1280x1024 (at least all that I have seen) I wouldn't consider them for DOS gaming personally. However recently I came to the conslusion that they at least should be able to display 640x480 games like Diablo or Baldur's Gate in a pretty …

Hello folks, I have been trying to play Star Trek: Klingon Honor Guard on my machine dedicated to Win98 gaming. It has a 3dfx Voodoo 4 and Aureal Vortex 2 card, so I thought it should be perfect for Unreal engine games like KHG. Patch 1.1 is installed and everything is at default settings. I am …

Hello guys, I have just purchased a Roland SCD-70, because I wanted to do some high-quality game soundtrack recordings. The SCD-70 to my knowledge is the only Sound Canvas that is backwards-compatible with the SC-55 and has a higher sampling rate of 44.1/48 khz combined with a digital out. So I …

Hey thanks for your answer. I have tried all of the drivers you mentioned without any luck. They're not crashing or anything, they just don't find an ATAPI device and thus don't load. I suspect that the SIL3512 hooks the int13h BIOS routine to provide hard disk specific functions for drive C: but …

First of all, great choice. :) Back in the old days I started with Might & Magic IV Clouds of Xeen. It's a great game to begin with and I don't think that it depends much on the storyline of its predecessors. Infact, MM4 and MM5 (Dark Side of Xeen) can be seen as one game (called World of Xeen), as …
