Re: Win98SE in DOS mode: MIDI in background?

Posted on 2024-01-10, 14:25

Is it Win98SE (SE=Second Edition) ? This is the best and only stable version. What type of mass storage do you use ? I put IDE2CF adapter with 2x32Gb CompactFlash card as harddrive and the speed is good. 30s from Power On to Win98SE ready ! Check your harddrive. If it is too old it may corrupt Win98 …

I hope we don't wreck the other 379 games to save the 1! In my experience, no matter the hardware/software combination or from what time period they are from, there is always 1 game that never works right with the system assembled, necessitating the need for a 2nd (or 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and so on …

ala_borbe: thanks for advice but I am running PC computers since 1995 and I know basic rules & checks. No issue with VGA câbles. I got 280 DOS games and more than 100 windows games running flawlessly on this computer. So the issue comes from this game or its compatibility with hardware or driver, …

Thank you very much for trying. For my part, I have not advanced; I know the game crashes but the PC is not crashed. I can go back to windows 98se and in task manager I get the message "Dune 2000" not responding. Your Matrox card is the same as mine (except mine is PCI -no AGP on my machine). I …

Thanks. I've searched in graphic control panel and found a special settings tab in Matrox Powerdesk. It allows me to tweak manually each graphic mode. I realized that default frequency for 640x400 & 640x480 was 85Hz and my monitor supports only 70Hz. So by adjusting and saving settings, I don't have …

Thanks. I read "read me" and many forums before coming here. I tried -p and also -g and -8 with no success. With -g, I got a black screen with no message from display. My display drivers are the lastest ones and Direct X is 9.0c

Hello, I have a wonderful Hewlett-Packard Vectra 562 from 1995. It's running fine till 1995. I got Dune 2000 on CD for Win95/98 last week. Game is installed (with downloaded official patch 1.06) and when I launch it, screen goes black and my display says "frequency not in range" It's the first time …

I agree about Turrican II I didn't succeed with Synnergist. I've never found how to run the game. Wing Commander 1&2 were such a pain with Pentium. Sam&Max CD can't work with general Midi and voices (floppy version is working). Legend entertainment games like Companion of Xanth or Super-hero League …

I found the parameters but it didn't solve the graphic issue. /m mouse detection /h left-handed mouse button /j Joystick control /x XMS detection /a Audio soundtrack control /s Sampled sound control Sound card settings (follow with a/i/d/h for io/irq/dma/drq and then value) /@ audio soundtrack /$ …

the Orion Conspiracy

Posted on 2020-04-12, 04:41

I got weird graphics display with the Orion Conspiracy. Video (Domark and introduction) display well but game itself show only 1/5 upper screen. I have a Matrox Mystique 2Mo as graphic card. I tried with UNIVESA drivers, but I was the same. As I had issue also with I have no mouth and I must scream …
