Video Game Chat Thread

Shocked this doesn't exist yet. Or if it does, I certainly couldn't find it. Post about games. Games you're playing, games you have played, games you like, dislike, game design ideas you're interested in, whatever. Casual thread for vidya talk. I'll start. Been slowly picking away at Dragon Quest ...

System Shock is the only game I play using DOSBox tbh. Using the GOG CD DOS release.

Re: What OS are you maining?

Now that is a first... I assume that the DOSBox-X build you used was linked to SDL1? It is a real old library (like, back in the 9x days) that was only "maintained" via a compatibility layer with SDL2 (that is now also under maintenance since the release of SDL3) and thus are not behaving well with ...

720p Patch?

As you may or may not be aware, many games in the last few years have been modified to run on the original Xbox to output in the (otherwise rarely used) 720p mode. Usually, this requires also installing an extra 64mb worth of RAM chips into your system, but it's possible and pretty cool. You can ...

Re: What OS are you maining?

For DOS games, using forks like DOSBox-X and DOSBox Pure Unleashed are better than keeping a copy of Windows around. Unfortunately I've already tried DOSBox-X and I get absolutely horrid screen tearing, no matter the vsync setting. I'll give Pure Unleashed a look at some point. My solution was to ...

Re: Original Xbox Capacitors are awful

Needing to replace the capacitors in my Xbox has led me to learning a lot of soldering and repair skills. Now I mod Xboxes for fun (and sometimes profit!). Also, for what it's worth, if your console has exceptionally bad video quality, you might find replacing the capacitors on the power supply will ...

Re: What OS are you maining?

First post on this forum. Greetings, ya primitive screwheads. As of the death of WIndows 10, I've officially made the jump to Linux. Using Mint Cinnamon, and I feel pretty at home. Inspired my Matt's work of installing stuff on hardware not meant for it, I dusted off my old college laptop, slapped ...
