Thanks guys for all the information, this is a big help. So other than the environment variables for some games, I just install the voodoo2 (with the VGA cable) and then load the game's patched 3dfx file (in real mode MS-DOS) and then the games go and there's generally nothing else to do?

There's a couple threads on this probably but some are difficult to read and I've been trying to understand this myself for a long time. I have a retail copy of Descent2 (Original disc), and Carmageddon SPLAT Pack (also Original disc). What I'm trying to find out is they have a "3dfx" alternative …

Awesome, thank you sir. I have a PCI Audigy SE, hoping that will match my card. Anyway... now I have to figure out how to get into the vogons' FTP servers... EDIT: I found the forum post and figured it out myself. Thanks again for uploading, I have it going on the download now.

Does anyone have a source for "Sound Blaster Audigy Installation CD" since both megaupload and multiupload websites are dead / gone forever? Or perhaps a copy they'd be willing to send me directly? I'll exchange instant messangers with someone in PM's if you'd be willing to give me a copy.

Add this to the list: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6488573/Creative_Sound_Blaster_AWE64_Install_Gold_CD-ROM I took 'retro games 100's AWE64 Gold install cd and made a torrent of it so multiple folks can help source it, and so it stays alive in case mediafire kills it, since it's probably one of …

YAY I went over to a used computer parts store in another city and spent about an hour pawing through plastic bins with ISA Sound cards in static bags, and down in the bottom, low and behold i found an ISA Creative Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold black PCB for $5! :exclamation: This'll go great with my MS- …

hrmm, interesting card :D Thanks for the information. I've been considering getting some form of 'better' creative sound card for my MS-DOS gaming machine, it has a ISA Sound Blaster 16 Value right now. I see Green-PCB AWE64 Value cards for < $10 with shipping, and there's a cheap Black-PCB AWE64 …

Thank you 'retro games 100' for sharing this ISO image with us. This is a rare disc that I've been searching for, for many YEARS now. I know you've put it up on Media Fire already, however they delete those images after some time (I do not know how long) so to help keep this ISO image alive I've …

Just a note for this thread, well a few notes. 1.) Vote for sticky too. 2.) I have verizon fios here and 2 dedicated always-on computers (all electronics in house house on UPS, Both run a web server out of my house) If any of these programs need mirroring, talk to me and if you want i can mirror any …

What i think alot of you are failing to understand is dos box is SOFTWARE EMULATION for actual hardware. And as such, no matter how fast your host computer is that's running it, it will have certain performance limitations because it's just software. It's never going to be as fast as a real pentium3 …

ah.. not sure then, when i started out with my dos gaming computer i had a geforce4 pci originally which had dvi, which didn't work well with some games.

I don't know if it will help, but maybe try using the VGA monitor connection instead of DVI, I had to do this for another old ms-dos game called "STUNTS" it was starting with black display and hanging, similar to what you had, and i switched from DVI to VGA and it worked. That was a while back when …

Alrighty, well I guess I'll start some trial and error later and start making a list here... should be some useful info for others, i assume.

Alrighty, that explains why descent2 wasn't working, thank you for that information. I haven't gotten Vquake going yet i'll poke with it later, been playing it in win98se on a different machine with GLQuake earlier today. I like my retro games... I have a Win98se/Win2k dualboot machine for old …

I'm told Swaaye is "The Man" when it comes to Rendition Verite knowledge... so maybe you could take a peek at my other thread and give me some insight, please? I'll just link you to it.. easier than re-typing everything i've already typed over there: Re: Rendition Verite in pure dos help please?
