    Privateer CD Sound but no Speech

    I just got my bootdisk up and running and I managed to get Wing Commander 1-4 working albeit 1 and 2 were way too fast but they can be slowed. I installed Privateer and everything is running except that I am not getting the speech. I am getting the music so I know my sound card is working...

    Convert old system to DOS only, need help

    I don't think that I played them in order like that. I already had 1-4 and Privateer 1-2 by the time I played Acadamy. To me Acadamy seemed like they were getting away from the feel of the WC series. I guess that is why I never got the other ones. I'll have to pick up Prophecy and play it...

    Convert old system to DOS only, need help

    Can someone explain to me how disabling the cache in the bios will automatically slow my computer down to the speed that is suitable for WC1 and WC2? If I have a P3 500 and I turn off the cache, how does that make it as fast as an old 386? What if I had a P3 1Ghz, would that also slow it down...

    Convert old system to DOS only, need help

    I guess Windows 98 with MoSlo is the way for me to go. I'll give it a shot. I'll also see if I can dig up my old P166 just in case. Are all the Wing Commander games going to be fast or just Wing Commander 1? I have the CD version, not diskette, with the extra missions and everything. Will...
