Beats me.. I do have cpu_cycles set to 60000 and cpu_cycles_protected set to auto. I tried setting cpu_cycles_protected to also 60000 for jokes but didn't make a difference. Must be some kind of bug in the binary release of linux 82.2? I generally prefer staging and this is the only time...

I found a weird oddity that may explain some people's experience with random joystick de-calibration after leaving the laucher, at least for me. I'm running dosbox-staging on fedora linux. I find 60000 cycles allows the game to run great, but as soon as I leave the launcher and enter the game...

Such an awesome movie. One of my favorites. History Buffs on YouTube did a fantastic overview on the actual history and what the movie got right that's worth checking out. Though he didn't mention the fact that all the Zeros are T6 Texan training aircraft since there weren't many of the...

Thank you for the info! Just a guess, but I'm starting to think it's because proton detects my joystick under dinput but not xinput. Trying to figure out what I can do to get that to work. [EDIT] No it's not that :( Did some trickery with dumbxinputmeu and wine now recognizes the...

Finally found time to give these new patches a try on my linux machine. Unfortunately while everything else runs great, the configuration applet doesn't seem to detect my usb joystick which is utterly odd. Like Kevin, I generally have to use a proton build for it to work. The joystick on...

Doesn't seem like there is any relation, but I find the idea amusing that this would be a continuation of the classic kids adventure games "Elroy Goes Bugzerk" and "Elroy hits the Pavement"

The whole thing seems concieved and generated by ai for a quick buck...

Emulation and compatibility software are always in a state of motion. You were always better using GOG to get the main game files and setting it up yourself. I haven't used base dosbox in over a decade. Also, I don't view an issue with ancient dosbox as a broken game. Setting things up has...

Simplest solution is to get a joystick. If you love space sims, it probably wouldn't be too far out of your way or set you back too much. I love my Thrustmaster T16000m. Have had it for years and it never drifts, unlike many a junk logittech or saitek joystick I've bought over the decades...

Makes sense. In Wine (and therefor proton) , you have to specify if you are using a native library which is the windows library that comes with the app vs the built-in one which is wine's version. Built-in is default. Very important to note if you are attempting dll overrides in other apps.

I think Blair ended up looking more like Chris Roberts! XD Work fine in my book!

Windows 3.1 improvements are huge! Nice to see it get some love

Amazing work Howie! So great to see this going again.

Pedant man strikes again! (but hey this is a fan forum so I'm in good company). A-10 is designated as the Thunderbolt II. "Warthog" is a nickname that most people know it by. Just as the F-16 Fighting Falcon is nicknamed as the "Viper."

Well I think you are misinterpreting the hair in the original sprite. It's suppose to be short curly black. As for the face, the original sprite is perhaps a little lighter but definitely African. Yours Id think of as Middle Eastern or Indian.

I'd make many guesses from where that version of Knight is from, but I'm afraid South Africa wouldn't be on the list. The uniforms are starting to look a lot closer/consistent though.

Really neat. I find the AI's decisions on the backgrounds distractingly hilarious. Like I can see why it made the choices it did without the full context. I don't know if there is a way to isolate the foreground from the background and do those separately?

If emulation is the way with the origional patch, I believe PCemu/86box already have 3dfx emulation. Though it's a pain to set up. Honestly I think the method for playing these movies, specifically Odvs' enhanced versions just needs to be redone from the ground up.

Excellent! Yeah Im in the same boat with WCP/WCIV DVD patches. Maybe one day someone will do a libvlc type patch. That really does work well for WC3

Oh yes, absolutely. I've never been able to get the DVD patch to work for WCP or WC4 in linux wine. I know some people have had some luck but I find the whole thing extremely finicky. But this new libvlc method is working wonders for WC3. Here is to hoping!
