Hi Darren
I haven't tried running Duke 3D under "Windows" as yet :) It's only the original DOS version I've been playing. With a very brief diversion to playing the Mac port - my 1st 'Duke' experience - which I think sucks royally. Admittedly this was the Mac demo version, and is only MNSHO!
We can fix that Mike. I wouldnt be surprised if they're one in the same.
So Duke plays on VPC3 and DOS? Cool.
No probs apart from the sound emulation, probably my fault I was in a hurry.
Why the need of voodoo2 when VPC2 emulates an S3 4 Mb card? Or is it the Mac requiring a video card? Will the VPC video speed up, because of the better video? VPC2 is Mac only, IIRC. I would love to have one [voodoo2] for the old PCI beige beast, myself. --- I've got a Win95 drive file but it's purly for testing [some] Win9 apps before allowing them to exist on a "real" Win drive.... it is so painfully slow. If a vid card could improve this I might run an OS newer than WFW 3.11 on it :)
As I understand it VPC will make use of a Voodoo2 breaking the 4mb ceiling for vram which I see as the major drawback of pc emulation. I'll throw a couple of bucks at it to find out, last local V2 on ebay went for $15, I was at work and missed it. Worst case, I have another old video card for yet another old mac or pc.
Cheers
