/vr/ - Virtual Reality » Thread #2763923

Speaking about Dark Sun, I would advise against buying gog's version as Dark Sun is one of those games that don't run well in dosbox. Use PCem instead.

God damn it, you're reminding me of that Dark Sun MMO and that anon that duped /vr/ into thinking that there was a private server.

I remember that thread, it was around the time /vr/ had found Eastern Mind, and everyone was trying to find other obscure games that never got released. It was a pretty convincing thread from what I remember.

Is there a working version of this program? V10 doesn't seem to function with the files they offer, and none of the BIOS's they offer seem to allow VGA or SVGA as an option.

Not really seeing a reason to use this over VMware or similar.

I've never had problems running it under dosbox. Had to mess with the cycles a bit but that's easy.

The bigger question is - what the fuck BIOS to use in the first place? There's bazillions of PC BIOSes. Should I use the AMI 386 Revision 3.89B dated September 23, 1991 or the Revision 3.89C dated January 9, 1992?

I'll give you some then. Accuracy: PCem is all about accurate emulation of a real PC hardware. It's significantly more accurate in that regard than dosbox which in turn is much more accurate than VMware. Control: VMware gives you zero control over the guest machine's CPU frequency or CPU type. Hardware support: VMware doesn't emulate GUS or AWE32 and even though SB16 is supported, good luck getting it to work under DOS (the same goes for the rest of SB family cards).

For me it was running either running too slow or too fast, with messages disappearing before you can read them and spell animations too quick to notice anything. No amount of fiddling with the cycles helped me to get the speed right.

Yes, but I can't get it to actually DO anything besides the memory POST test before it locks up.

All these features sound great, but if it doesn't actually work then what is the point?

I got it... It runs a little weird so far. The music is using some kind of different dos midi driver making the music a little different than I remember it. I'm not sure if I like it. It also lags heavy in certain areas.
