    Please suggest a Mac powerbook or Mac laptop to run SWC

    OS depends on the model of mac you end up with, but if it's later 90's then OS9 is the way to go. I really don't know much about powerbooks from back in the day, except that the ones we used at elementary school were black and white screens, terribly slow and had the stupidest trackball you...

    Super Wing Commander played with the 3DO Flightstick Pro (video)

    Haha ah shockwave, such fond memories. I had the mac port of 1 (which included beyond the gate) and 2 (I guess they ported a lot of 3do games to early macs) The acting was wonderfully bad. It was fun game. SW2 I never could beat..

    KOTOR 2 got an update

    You absolutely have to play it with the TSLRM mod enabled, It's not so much a mod, but huge community patch to fix the game's glaring problems in bugs and story. To play without it is to do yourself and the game a huge disservice. Pacing of the game is so much better throughout. It's most...

    [SPOILERS] Star Wars movie thread... [Don't read this thread if you haven't seen the movie yet]

    While I agree with your sentiment completely. It is awful nice when you do get both. This is why great games like XWA, FS2 and Prophecy getting a loving community face-lift is all right by me :)

    New Privateer 2 Patch Adds Deinterlace Feature & Makes Numerous Improvements (October 1, 2013)

    Another note for people using CoolMidiSynth, I highly recommend Timbres of Heaven Soundfont. It is easily among the best sound fonts out there while still being small enough to load into ram quickly. On that note, I'm pretty sure CoolSynth has the option to load the whole font into ram all...

    [SPOILERS] Star Wars movie thread... [Don't read this thread if you haven't seen the movie yet]

    Yah know what? Yes the movie had flaws, a lot of them probably. So does the originals. (Forget the Frankenstein monster that are the GL special editions) At the end of the day, I'm just happy to get a watchable, enjoyable movie labeled starwars after what? 27 years? You know, that's actually...

    World of Warships

    The best naval combat game still has to go to Silent Hunter III ;) Nothing beats the free reign patrolling the whole Atlantic ocean, tracking convoys and doing actual mathematical calculations to achieve your goal. It's quite a challenge. Never mind just how much you end up learning about...

    Perhaps as a distant future project we can get something similar in standoff? ;)

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Secret Ops Model Update Pack

    Sorry I was talking about the rudder reversal. I'm prety sure both Prophecy and SO have the "option" to reverse the rudder, but it doesn't work. It reverts as soon as a modifier key (alt, button 2 on joystick, shift) is pressed, making the option effectively useless. I never had a joystick...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Secret Ops Model Update Pack

    Speaking of hacks, I would love for there to be a dll hook to reverse joystick rudder input. It's been a long annoyance..

    Wing Commander III acting...

    Made me think of this little gem :) It's Dana Carvey acting as Tom Brokaw, who wanted to go on vacation, so they had him record all these fictitious clips in-case they happened while he was away.

    Infinity Battlescape - Planet landings/solar system dogfighting

    Holy cow! They have been working on this game for over 10 years. Before it was called Infinity: Quest for Earth. Demos of the engine were really impressive 9 years ago. I thought they died. Glad to see a game actually come out of all that hard work!

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Upon further looks at the dos version, apparently there is the ramping effect being done. But it is so much faster then the KS version and is mostly noticeable in the hand animation. Shift does make the change instant.

    Wing Commander III acting...

    I doubt prophecy is on anyone's list. It is clearly the weakest of the bunch story wise, and the acting isn't that great. Not that I dislike the game, but next to the masterpieces of III and IV it's just not on that level.

    Just wanted to say thanks

    I don't get it, if its an HID compliant device, there is no reason it should have not worked. I doubt windows 10 changed anything in the input areas, maybe they added a newer xinupt dll but dosbox wouldn't use that. Perhaps it just bit up the ghost. 21 years is a long time for potentiometers...

    Well i would still ask them on their forum what the problem is, I'm sure you would get a response quickly. Their community is quite large with a lot of experts.

    Just wanted to say thanks

    Hmm. that is a doosy. It's like it doesn't take into account the new resolution. Might I recommend making a post here? http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=151.0
