OT: DOS games under XP?

[Kamog]

I didn't know that there is a DOS emulation program out there. I use Windows XP at work and some of the old programs that used to work under Windows 98 don't work anymore, so I'll have to try DOSBox. Thanks for the info, David.

I don't think xcom3 was able to run in dosbox... You'll have to get VDMSound for the sound issues and download a few fixes from here : www.xcomufo.com
for more problems you can also check out the forums over there
Phoenix-D : there also is a fix for the CE Version that will disable/enable directdraw automatically for you when you run xcom. Makes life easier

cool! I wonder if it will run the old Xwing...

[se5a]

yup, that works..
anyone remember how to change the powerlevels going to engines, lasers, and shields?

[Phoenix-D]

Right, but my fix always works. The CE Version at least on this system doesn't.

I mean : there's an unofficial patch that will do what you are doing automatically so you don't have to manually disable and later enable directdraw. It always works
