Thanks! The game works pretty well with dgVoodoo2, except for some minor graphic glitches.

So I tried the demo on my notebook: - i3-370M - Nvidia GeForce GT 420M - 4GB DDR2 It just worked fine at the first attempt. However, it still won't work on my PC: - i5-3570K - MSI R9 270X Hawk - 8GB DDR3 Which graphics cards do you have?
Road Wars (2001) on Windows 8.1?

Hi, does anyone have a clue how to get "Road Wars" working on Windows 8.1? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umEz0b2q7tE I tried the demo as well as the full version and both will not work. The "d3drm.dll" is required at first. I downloaded some different versions of this file and put it in the game …

As mentioned in this topic: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=42552 I also noticed that the FPS limiter, for example in MechWarrior 3, can be deactivated by pressing Alt + Tab and (instantly) switching back into the game. Unfortunately, the HUD and mouse positioning is messed up then. Weird. …

Universal fix for DirectX 7/6 games running slow Windows 8.1?
Posted on 2015-03-01, 17:07
Many games with DirectX 7 or lower, which worked pretty smooth on Windows 7, run very slow on Windows 8.1 with the same hardware configuration. It seems to be some kind of a "FPS limiter" which limits all games to 20 FPS. Do you know any solution to get back the good Windows 7 performance which …

Re: Which configuration would you recommend for older games until 2002?
Posted on 2014-11-24, 11:45
Okay, thanks. I wonder why these old Athlons need such a high amperage on the +5V rail? Isn't these days the +12V rail the most important? Anyway, it's pretty hard to find an appropriate PSU, even on eBay. I found this pretty cheap PSU from Xilence, which has at least 25A on +5V. Would this be …

Thanks. :blush: Cooling the Athlon shouldn't be a big deal, I intend to build the components in(to) a normal ATX Midi Tower with some (quiet) fans. http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/Sharkoon-VS3-S-Midi-Tower-ohne-Netzteil-schwarz-rot_829224.html Can I buy every PSU or do I need a special …
Re: Which configuration would you recommend for older games until 2002?
Posted on 2014-11-22, 10:27
Thanks for your very helpful postings. Well, I guess the Athlon 1200 would be my first choice after all, because Socket 462 mainboards are much easier to find for a good price and you still get many cooler for this socket. However, I don't know whether it might be too fast for some older Direct3D or …
Re: Which configuration would you recommend for older games until 2002?
Posted on 2014-11-20, 16:18
Thanks! I haven't bought a motherboard either. It depends on what is available on eBay for a good value. Concerning the performance, are the Athlon 1200 and Pentium III 1000 MHz on the same level? Currently, a Coopermine (Slot 1 or Socket 370) motherboard would be easier to purchase. The AWE 64 Gold …

Hi, I'm currently building a computer for retro games only with Windows 98 SE or Windows XP. I came across with many, possible graphics cards and CPUs and I simply can't decide which would be the best for me. Usage: DirectDraw and Direct3D games for Windows from ~ 1996 to ~ 2002. A list of possible …
Re: Windows 98 Gaming Notebook possible?
Posted on 2014-07-27, 08:45
Well, you're right, actually every game developed for Windows 98 works fine on XP, with a few exceptions of course. On the other hand, I could even install Windows XP on my current notebook with a GeForce 420M and a Core i3-370M as a second OS. Afaik there are still drivers for XP for this Nvidia …
Re: Windows 98 Gaming Notebook possible?
Posted on 2014-07-25, 15:50
Big thanks for your very helpful replies! I'd personally prefer a gaming notebook with Windows 98 SE, XP is kinda not retro enough. I figured out that there are unfortunately no audio and chipset drivers available for Windows 98 concerning the linked Medion (Aldi) Notebook. Anyway, would a GeForce 2 …
Windows 98 Gaming Notebook possible?
Posted on 2014-07-22, 18:46
Hi there, would the following notebook be entirely compatible with Windows 98? As far as I know there are still drivers for Windows 98 regarding the old Nvidia GeForce Go 6600, and it should be sufficient for some old Direct3D games. http://www.ebay.de/itm/Notebook-Laptop-17-Zoll-Medion-MMD95500- …

Thanks for your suggestions. Is Kanotix really the most recommendable distribution for games? I could also create a new partition and install Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

Thanks for your reply. I already installed "Patch 4.1" yesterday. Deleting the movies folder doesn't solve the problem either. As mentioned before, the compatibility mode does not cause any changes. Are there programs like "Wine" for Windows which emulate an older DirectX version or 3D Acceleration? …
ToCA 2: Touring Cars on Windows 7
Posted on 2013-10-14, 16:59
Hi, I recently decided to reinstall ToCA 2: Touring Cars (Direct3D, DirectX 6, Windows 98) after years of not playing it. The installation worked fine so far (Windows 7 x64) and it's even possible to start the game. Unfortunately, the game always freezes before the loading screen should appear. I …
