Heh, only found out about them now

Now, if only I could get Discworld 2 to work, or even Discworld 1 to work with cut-scenes and past part 3

I've been using D-Fend to play Tyrian for a while. Very handy program.

Hahahahaha I remember Crusader. Although I think I played No Regret, the one with videos and stuff.

I played it on the hardest difficulty level where one guy kills you in a single shot. It took me a whole summer to beat it and a lot of reloading. Eventually I got good enough that I didn't have to reload as much.

And, I always used that machine gun, the weakest one, because all the goons seemed to carry ammunition for it. And the shotgun was good too, two shots to take out a goon, or one for the weaker ones.

Both had videos and 'stuff'. They basically had the same engine, 'No Regret' was effectively a really big mission disk. Not that I'm complaining, mind-both those games were just plain awesome.
Looks like I need to give DosBox another whirl.

Great Valen what kind of hardware does that game need?
My CPU useage hovers around 0% and the game is STILL slow as molasses.
Don't tell me I have to upgrade a 1.7Ghz machine to run a decade old DOS game.

Have you tried increasing the emulation speed? Ctrl-11 to slow down and Ctrl-12 to speed up.

I hadn't at the time but yeah, increasing the cycles value in the config file did it (more or less). Now let's see if we can get the last sound glitches and the occasional game freeze worked out.

Anybody who got 'Regret' as opposed to 'Remorse' working including videos please tell me. The game engine seems to work a-ok, but the intro and movies are black screen with rather intermittent audio.

Heh I'd help but my new laptop is ultra-lightweight and doesn't have a cd drive. Plus I don't want to go digging through my shit and finding it and borrowing my brother's computer.

If I was serious about playing older games I'd walk down to the local thrift store and buy a 10 year old computer for 20 bucks (at least, they exist in my area). I wouldn't buy an older monitor though because shitty refresh rates suck.

Or just boot from a floppy. The No Regret CD comes with instructions on how to make a floppy I think.

Brian, if that were an option I'd simply reinstall DOS besides XP and dual-boot. By all means get me DOS drivers for an SB512 PCI.
