OMG! VirtualBox is open source. That opens up all sorts of possibilities. Is it easier to make Glidos work with it than say, DosBox?

Correction from what I said before - Using VMware Fusion, the game will boot without Vdos32, though the menu system is messed up, and I don't think the game runs. It is, however useful for remapping the keys, which is important because the Alt key, used for jumping, doesn't work reliably - not a …

It seems to me that VMWare Fusion and Parallels are just farther along than VirtualBox. They have been refining DirectX for a while now, whereas it still seems pretty experimental in Virtualbox. Eventually, I expect that VirtualBox will progress to the point where it will run fine. I'm already …

Do you mean packaging one of these products with Glidos? I don't think it would be such an issue - if someone has a macintosh and wants to play games without rebooting, they probably have VMWare Fusion or Parallels anyway, so once that's up and running with the Windows system of their choice, …

I can verify this also works on a macintosh using VMWare fusion, and while the controls don't seem to have a problem in the beginning the way Parallels did, it seems a little slow, though it's certainly playable. I used VDos 32- it wouldn't work without it.

Well, that was less than successful. I tried installing windows 98 in virtualbox, but it errored out. However, "Windows 98 does not come with a driver which will work with the VirtualBox graphics card," according to the faq, so I doubt I would get a good result with it even if it did install …

Thanks for the info. Yes, I was definitely using VDos32 in Parallels. This is interesting. I went back to Virtualbox on XP, and turned off VDos32. When I ran the program, I got the error: Offset: 0000b9b6. However, when unticked the box that says Enable Glidos's VESA emulation, I actually got the …

Would your set up have run VDos32 under Virtualbox or just Glidos? Both. I'm confused about VDos32. Don't you need to run VDos32 to play Tombraider under Glidos? Also, under Parallels, where you using VDos32, or was TR running directly as a DOS program? It was with VDos32. I just installed it …

I thought I would mention: Just for the heck of it, I tried seeing if Glidos would work in Virtualbox on Windows 7 x64. Predictably, it didn't (though I still try whenever there is an upgrade). However, the new version of Parallels (a virtualization software for the Macintosh) just came out, so I …

Man, this stuff is getting way over my head, which is a good sign (considering my programming expertise). It would be great to see the sound cues completed. The sound was my main attraction to the original game, and I concur how hard it is to put the triggers in the game currently, though it's …

No, I know it has nothing to do with 3-D, I was just making reference to how long ago it was. You know, like saying "that was way back in the early days of computers, when we had to start them with a hand crank." There certainly seems to have been a lot of laziness in the coding of that game, and …

Well, you know that was way back in the '95 in the pioneer days of 3-D gaming. And yes, it does play in both directions.

Have you guys given up on this? Or is someone still working on it? I added a few and modified others, but in my case anyway, for the moment, I am done. Anyone who would like to work on it is welcome to.
Re: Playstation vs. PC
Posted on 2006-06-15, 13:39
I agree with a lot of what you're saying. The graphics are certainly better on the PC, though at first, I wasn't drawn to the PC because of the lack of music. I may have mentioned this before, but I've used ePSXe, the emulator, and I found it improves a lot on playing it with a real playstation: …
Re: Sound and Video Delays

And, of course, if you want the authentic playstation experience, you could always pick up the PSX version of the game, and then play it with an emulator such as epsxe. The graphics are kind of shuddery, and you get no benefit of the texture packs, but the music is all there and the sound effects …
Re: Audiopack revival
Posted on 2006-05-22, 18:09
Yeah, I got kind of burned out on it. The textures get used over and over again that it almost seems impossible to get them to trigger right, though I'm sure that someone else could probably succeed where I didn't.

If I understand correctly, you're waiting for me to respond? By all means, release it. I don't develop texture packs, but I'd like to see everyone else's work with my version.

OK! After marvelling at my ineptitude with FTP clients, I think I got it to the site. It's zipped, not .rar'ed, but it should be there. Let me know if there were any problems with the transfer, because the client was giving me some weird messages.

Well, I must say that's a bit easier (and more precise) than playing through the whole thing. Paul, let me know where you want me to drop it, and if you want the cuts 1-4 as well.

I know I have a different one than you, though I'm not sure if anyone else has it. It's an orginal US non-UB version, I think. I've been following along with this discussion, but it's kind of gotten beyond my comprehension. But if I can get some luddite instructions for capturing, I can give it a …
