    WC1 and WC2 (win32) source code reconstruction in progress

    Sorry for the delay! Was sick in bead for a few days. Compiled pretty easily and that fixed the issue. Thanks! [edit] Oh no, interesting. When I hail Caevrnaven station for landing at the end of the first mission, the app immediately CTDs. Here is the output from the terminal...

    WC1 and WC2 (win32) source code reconstruction in progress

    On linux binary you distribute I'm not getting the kilrathi saga data to play the music stream. I put the GAMEDAT and STREAMS folders in the same folder as wc2-modern. It detects that the data is Kilrathi Saga but no music at all except for the Origin intro which uses the OPL emulation...

    Maybe, but when the dot com bubble burst, the internet didnt disappear... I fear this type of AI is here to stay for better and worse. You cant put the toothpaste back in the tube.

    Wow, drive by that thing all the time in Providence. Had no idea it had such notoriety. Or that it was in that movie. Haddnt seen it in 20 years.

    Wing Commander A.T. (WCAT) DOS Overhaul Mod [1.0.1 Released]

    Beats me.. I do have cpu_cycles set to 60000 and cpu_cycles_protected set to auto. I tried setting cpu_cycles_protected to also 60000 for jokes but didn't make a difference. Must be some kind of bug in the binary release of linux 82.2? I generally prefer staging and this is the only time...

    Wing Commander A.T. (WCAT) DOS Overhaul Mod [1.0.1 Released]

    I found a weird oddity that may explain some people's experience with random joystick de-calibration after leaving the laucher, at least for me. I'm running dosbox-staging on fedora linux. I find 60000 cycles allows the game to run great, but as soon as I leave the launcher and enter the game...

    After Action Report: Tora! Tora! Tora! (May 30, 2025)

    Such an awesome movie. One of my favorites. History Buffs on YouTube did a fantastic overview on the actual history and what the movie got right that's worth checking out. Though he didn't mention the fact that all the Zeros are T6 Texan training aircraft since there weren't many of the...

    Enhancement Patches for Wing Commander III, IV and Privateer2

    Thank you for the info! Just a guess, but I'm starting to think it's because proton detects my joystick under dinput but not xinput. Trying to figure out what I can do to get that to work. [EDIT] No it's not that :( Did some trickery with dumbxinputmeu and wine now recognizes the...

    Enhancement Patches for Wing Commander III, IV and Privateer2

    Finally found time to give these new patches a try on my linux machine. Unfortunately while everything else runs great, the configuration applet doesn't seem to detect my usb joystick which is utterly odd. Like Kevin, I generally have to use a proton build for it to work. The joystick on...

    under the radar games that I think you wingnuts might like

    Doesn't seem like there is any relation, but I find the idea amusing that this would be a continuation of the classic kids adventure games "Elroy Goes Bugzerk" and "Elroy hits the Pavement"

    GOG Launches Preservation Program with Wing Commander Discounts (November 13, 2024)

    Emulation and compatibility software are always in a state of motion. You were always better using GOG to get the main game files and setting it up yourself. I haven't used base dosbox in over a decade. Also, I don't view an issue with ancient dosbox as a broken game. Setting things up has...

    WC3 DosBox -- Afterburner TAB key solutions ?

    Simplest solution is to get a joystick. If you love space sims, it probably wouldn't be too far out of your way or set you back too much. I love my Thrustmaster T16000m. Have had it for years and it never drifts, unlike many a junk logittech or saitek joystick I've bought over the decades...

    Wing Loader (KS/WCDX) Loader & Voice Over Mod

    Makes sense. In Wine (and therefor proton) , you have to specify if you are using a native library which is the windows library that comes with the app vs the built-in one which is wine's version. Built-in is default. Very important to note if you are attempting dll overrides in other apps.
