It's been a while since I played any WC games and I just updated my system. It is still rather old by today's terms but it plays many games that I still enjoy. I'm running into all sorts of problems with my older games. Some have patches and fixes, some I have to manually alter INI files...

I put together a Win98 machine so that I could easily play my favorites like Kilrathi Saga, Privateer 1 + 2, WC 4 DVD via Dxr2. I am using a Gateway VX1100 21" monitor and have noticed that when I launch any of the games from Kilrathi Saga, the displayed screen is blown up too much and most of...

Wing Commander Cartoon Series DVD - For Sale With Commissar no longer offering this service, I have taken over the role as the key contact for ordering the Wing Commander Acadamy DVD series. It comes on 3 DVDs for NTSC and 4 DVDs for PAL. Right now I can fill 20 orders but it might take a...

I am selling my copy of the Kilrathi Saga and wanted to offer it to anyone here on the list before I put it up on Ebay. The discs are in mint shape and it comes with the flight manual. It is all 5 discs with their original cases/spines that say Kilrathi Saga. I purchased this for $125 and I...

I'm still having problems with General Midi using my SB AWE64 ISA card. When my autoexec bat file runs, it runs AWEUTIL with the /EM:GM parameter. It says that General Midi has been started. What I don't understand is this whole IRQ thing. When I try to install Privateer through DOS, it asks...

I just wanted to let the community know that someone (not me) is selling 10 copies of the DVD version of Wing Commander IV. According to the auction, this is the dual-sided version of the disc, not the compilation version of 6 CDs. Here is the link...

I installed the Wing Commander 1 Deluxe CD that includes both the Secret Missions and Secret Missions 2. I have the Sound Blaster AWE64 ISA card. Every other game seems to work fine with this card. I also turned off my CPU cache since the game was running way too fast. The only problem is...

I just won the Wing Commander IV DVD (Dual Sided) one off of Ebay for $5. The seller didn't even list it in the title but sold it as part of a 4 game set. I had to ask the guy which one it was and he said it was the dual sided single layer one. Hopefully it arrives in the next week or so. My...

I have the ISA Sound Blaster 64 AWE and everything detects fine. I run the DIAGNOSE.exe program and it shows that everything is detected and it tells me what the address ranges are (220 and 330) and it gives me the IRQ and Lower and Upper DMA values. But when I try to use Midi in any of my...

I received my Wing Commander Acadamy DVD series from Commissar in the mail yesterday and was really impressed with the quality of the transfer. Obviously it isn't a production DVD but for a VHS to DVD transfer, it turned out extremely well. I am watching them on a 35" TV and the pixelation is...

I tried everything possible to get WC1 and WC2 to play correctly but an still having trouble. I tried to disable both CPU caches. It ran way too slow. Then I tried only internal cache, still too slow. Then I tried only external cache, still too slow. I then went with MoSlo. I ran at 10%...

I just got my bootdisk up and running and I managed to get Wing Commander 1-4 working albeit 1 and 2 were way too fast but they can be slowed. I installed Privateer and everything is running except that I am not getting the speech. I am getting the music so I know my sound card is working...
