Bought Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project for 5€. Started to play it: I'm enjoying it so far. I really like the platform mechanics, also because it's a sort of return to the roots of the first 2 Duke Nukems 🙂 Sometimes, I'm just having problems with the responsiveness of the controls, but maybe it's due …

I completed all the Bungie Halos different times, but CE is the one I have the best memories, mostly because in high-school we used to have LAN parties in the computer room: it was a lot of fun 🙂 the big guys with the metal shield can take a lot of punishment before going down They go down with 1 …

Finished Control: Ultimate Edition , DLCs included. I liked it: great level design, fun and challenging gameplay. Also, really good from a graphical standpoint, thanks to the RTX mode :slight_smile: Didn't get much of the story, but that's probably because I have a small attention span, and I get …

I found Falkon to be the best choice for Linux on my P4 build (dual-booted with XP), as I showed in this thread . Heavier webapps like YouTube run slow, but for most webpages it works really well. Unfortunately, it supports Windows starting from 7. Good news!!!!!!! Chromium 121+ on XP!!!! https:// …

Bought this 486 AT motherboard for a cheap price. It was manufactured by ASEM : searching on Google, I found out that it is an italian industrial hardware manufacturer, active from the 70s. It has a 486DX2-66 CPU, underclocked at 50Mhz, on board VGA, 2 ps/2 ports and a single ISA slot, so it's …

Is there any solution that currently works for bridging DOSBox players with DOS/Win9x-players? ipxbox claims to be able to do this , but so far I've been unable to make any headway with it. Confusingly, there are also multiple forks: https://github.com/fragglet/ipxbox/ https://github.com/unterwulf/ …

Super weird! I'm rather stumped as to what could be causing that and I have a suspicion that it's going to be very hard to diagnose since it would require spelunking into the guts of the Windows 9x network stack. Yeah, I don't blame you 😁 At least from what you say it sounds like it's limited to …

I actually managed to setup an IPX server with fragglet's ipxbox and be able to play between DOSBox and real DOS/Win9x clients 🙂 I believe I found the best setup: it works really well, like LAN play. Keep in mind that it needs a good bandwidth by every client, because of the nature of IPX-based …

Try this: Copy 3dfxgl.dll from the /gldrv directory to the main game directory. Rename it opengl32.dll. Select default OpenGL driver in setup. This worked great for me. Blue Shift with Voodoo3 2000 kept giving me this error until i followed your steps! Did it work through the entire game? Funnily …

Ubisoft is permanently on my naughty list and will never buy anything from them ever again (except old games that doesn't require an online account). Initially, I had continuous short freezes during my playthrough. I thought they were caused by Windows 11, because the game (PC version) is from 2008 …
