Looking at my old notes, I had a problem where DOS 7.1 with "DOS=NOAUTO" caused the size of DOS in memory to be much larger than expected. My guess at this late date, without experimenting, is that with DOS=NOAUTO it doesn't automatically load files or buffers high, and ends up having to load …

I don't see how that could be true. You're saying that because Windows 98 provides DOS, I don't need a Glide version, but Glide is an API used by Voodoo cards, not a form of DOS. The point of using a Glide version of TR1 is not just to run it, which I can do anyway, but to run it with special Glide- …

I'm trying to run Tomb Raider Gold with Windows 98 and an ATI Radeon 9200. Processor is an AMD 1800 XP running a little slow. I am using the 1.40 version of dgvoodoo (with logging). I copied glide2x.dll, glide2x.ovl, dgvoodoosetup.exe, dgvoodoo.exe, and dgvoodoo.vxd to c:\tombraid, set it up to not …

I suspect that it might be my font patch, which you (ykhwong) included only once, before it was rejected because it contained data from a commercial VGA card, which of course is really a no-no for open source software. Well, it would still be okay in the US, because bitmapped fonts are not …

For the record, I checked five other EB Games stores. None had the 49 cent DOS games, or the rack of games at all (including one that I knew had one until recently). I did find some cheap Windows games though.

This was posted by me. But I stupidly left cookies off.

Actually, I've found that Ebay usually works pretty well for old games (aside from collectibles like Kilrathi Saga). They don't seem to sell well at all on Ebay.

I suggest, when the user registers, having an option "send me my registration confirmation again". I tried to register as arromdee several times forgetting to turn off my spam filter, which has lots of entries for things like "click here", so I never got the message and had no way to get another …
