Unified Wrapper was also the one that correctly displayed the racing demo?

Eh? I got 7.5.3 installed fine. I'm having problems getting it to do anything with HQX (BinHex) files.

I suggest trying an old beta of 2.5 that works in W2KSP2, as suggested in this thread by DosFreak. (Hopefully SP3 will be released soon and you won't need to use an old beta...hopefully!) I'm not sure where to get any of these old versions. You may wish to PM DosFreak and, perhaps, DosFreak, you …

Thanks for the FAQ, Stiletto. I'm gonna mark this thread "Useful" (thereby forcing it to stick at the top of the forum) and, eventually, add the thing as a separate thing in a file library.
Re: Worst Memory Pig...ever
Posted on 2002-07-04, 06:08
Y'know, I've been trying to think up games that need this much memory, but I honestly can't remember any. I suppose that's a good thing, but it could just be that I: Haven't played enough old games Haven't lived long enough Have a really bad memory :) (This thread was moved because it was not Guide …
Incredible.

The combo reminds me of a class action suit that apparently went on as The People vs. IBM for the Aptiva sound/modem combo cards (my family owned an Aptiva a looong time ago -- it was a P100). It was a decent sound card -- one of the first to have wavetable MIDI. However, whenever you were online …

Okeydokey. I've made these changes and I'm going to be moving threads to their appropriate subforum so I can change the main forums into categories.

Why sales? Why commercialize everything? I'd like to see them do it for free...I mean, a service for us, you know? I imagine that they'll make tonnes of money on other things. I mean, look at the success of UNIVBE et cetera.

Pre-PC...like what, Pong? ;) I agree, Douglas Adams was the man. I've got every one of his books except the last one he was writing before he died (he didn't finish it, don't fucking release it, greedy bastards!) including the (ugh) nonfictional Last Chance to See . That said, I've only read the …
The Pressing Questions
Posted on 2002-07-04, 02:28
Why would anyone EVER want to convert OpenGL to Direct3D? I mean, D3D is a piece of shit compared to OGL. My god. ;) In any case, I've never had good results with Scitech. That said, I've only tried the Scitech Display Doctor and their UNIVBE configurator, but they've both not worked for me. At all. …
NV-1

Wow. I have never heard of this before in my life. How old is it? It must be from nVidia's infancy. (As far as I'm concerned, their TNT was their first real product.)
Posting without account is possible

It is possible for people to post here without an account, just not on any of the forums I've set up. It's a simple matter to make a forum that allows anonymous posting.
Re: Cli2Nop...Hrmmm

That would be excellent, but CLI2NOP's source is closed. However, I imagine it would be rather straightforward to rewrite it -- all you need to do is to embed a disassembler and thread the code through it. I imagine it could be done on the fly, though I don't know how it would interface within the …
Had problems

I love the idea that DOSBox has, but it hasn't worked nearly as successfully for me. I think this should improve a LOT when they implement protected mode and finish 386 instructions. (I know I can't wait!) What games DO run well in DOSBox? (ie. What games did you play on it? --I'd like to try them …
Aww, man!

That's genious! Wish I had thought of that. Oh well. I wouldn't really want to be associated with the third worst poetry in the universe.
Re: Basilisk II

I dunno, I've been having problems even getting HQX files to extract so I could try running things. I'm only using system 7.5.3, but I mean, BinHex files are an OLD Mac format. (What am I doing wrong??)

So, did you try OpenGLide? (You can get it from here.)
GliDOS

Was one of these wrappers GliDOS, or is GliDOS not an actual 3Dfx wrapper at all but just something to route Glide in DOS games to Windows Glide drivers?
Re: VDMSound forum to OGoNS?
Posted on 2002-07-01, 00:31
Well, of course. I just think it'd be helpful for him if he had this to put everything in perspective (ie, how many people actually want it versus those that don't.) As another upside to moving it here, it'd have an entirely separate category from OGoNS, so it could have MULTIPLE forums.
VDMSound forum to OGoNS?
Posted on 2002-07-01, 00:06
I know that there is a lot of dissent about using the Bravenet forum and about how it insists on deleting posts after a short time period. As such, I'm making this poll to see how many people would like to see the VDMSound forum come here.
