Re: NFS High Stakes D3D6 mode

May MS does any complete backwards compatibility thing in the May update 😀 I doubt MS will cater to your wish even if you are genuine paying customer. Games compatibility was the least concerns (or never being one...) for OS upgrades. MS already resorted to emulation by introducing XPMode for the …

If you want to play unmodified, two decades old game, then it's somehow given, that you'll use period correct PC, and not one with OS two decades newer... Sad thing was NFS3 worked well on DX mode, NFSHS didn't. Well I have been successful in running every game since 1997 without any problem except …

Regarding ALchemy, I cannot use it as I don't use a PCIe/PCI sound card. Could always throw one in if you have a slot free. Even ALchemy has problems. GTA VC,3 doesn't still recognise the card even if you have it installed. They actually need mss32 to dsound to openal/xaudio2/xact3 conversion in …

From the modern patch's readme, changes to DX6 renderer are minimal. When it comes to visuals, it says fog support is restored and dithering is disabled by default for 16-bit modes, which would get you faithful 16-bit look without tricks to try improve the quality given the limitation of available …

Alchemy will work okish most of the time on modern systems but for older systems your best bet is getting a creative card like an X-fi but also running an older OS, A3D same thing some older cards support either emulation in software but not on modern systems. both closed source proprietary …

Frankly, on a modern OS I would use the modern patch . Either that, or just go period correct with a Pentium 3 + nVidia Riva TNT2 Ultra (or Voodoo 3). I don't use because i want the classic resolution and graphics. The modern patch modfies the graphics somewhat minimal. I would like a unmodified …

EAX and A3D emuation on intrgrated audio chips

Recently I Started getting into retro games, like Far Cry, GTA Vice City, FEAR, Half-Life, etc. These games have options for enabling EAX or A3D on HL. But I cannot run EAX or A3D on my machine because of DSound3D incompatibility. So I want to experience A3D or EAX on my PC. Is there a way to do it? …

The game installer won't even install on Windows 2000 and a message popped out "This game only works on Windows 95 and 98." The system ACT database has the Win95VersionLie fix for the NFS4 installer. Tested with WinXpSp3 and ACT 5.5. The game itself needs CorrectFilePaths and …

I have the original and can't even find out what version it is :) I haven't been able to find any patches so far. You might want to check out the GOG.com version. Seeing it runs on fast machines, it might have the 30 fps patch applied? I am doing this very late.I went to archive.org and downloaded …

I don't know which VM you had tried. I was able to run NFS2:SE, NFS3:Hot Pursuit and NFS5:PU flawlessly on 3Dfx Glide mode on QEMU running Win98/2K/XP guest OS on Linux or Windows 10 host. Frame rate was within high 40 FPS and rarely dropped below 35 FPS. On Linux with QEMU KVM, NFS5:PU could even …
