Oh most definitely. I remember games like Rebel Assault running seemingly worse that that. I think people easily forget how different the world was like back then. PC's were not that common in every household. And the ones that did generally were not that powerful. Also I'm pretty certain...

Maybe, but at that point you are better off with PCem or 86Box. Or better yet just use nglide on your modern system directly

I finally got my copy to work again (boy was it a pain!) I don't know what I was thinking, space is blue in KS as well. As with that same joystick issue. I suspect it must be a wine thing because I do remember twist working with roll. [EDIT] Oh while looking for any clues in the files and...

Oh yes definitely, use to hit those types of errors all the time in linux wine before proton came onto the scene. :)

Its actually the other way around. In the DOS and Mac versions of WC3, space is blue. KS made it black. I'm not sure what could have changed to make it blue with your patch. Unless I'm totally crazy? Maybe I'm conflating WCIV it has been a long time since I have played that version.

Thank you! Question though, why is space blue and the joystick not have roll? I just tried your patch against the actual WCIII KS assets and had the same thing [EDIT] Oh Z axis is now throttle instead of roll, interesting

The WCIII link goes to the WCII file. A shame I was so looking forward to trying this tonight. It would be so nice not to need the cds for WCIII KS. There was never a good patch for that in the past. [EDIT] Oh I missed the patch from earlier! Interesting! It's running in as KS, but...

Thank you sir! That did it! No worries, I'm always expecting some sort of weirdness. Comes with the territory of running things on things that they originally weren't meant to. :) Right now I can confirm it does indeed work in wine! Though I do remember needing Windows to patch the KS...

Thanks! Well that got the excutables to load, but I don't get the CD voices anymore with that version. Everything is in the correct place still. So not sure whats up. Also another thing. when I open up in the wine console, this message keeps flooding the screen. Not sure what it means...

Thank you! I should be able to give it a try tonight and let you know how it goes. No worries, neither can I! Though while you are at it you can fix the random capitalization of "File Location." We aren't speaking German 😁

For some reason in wine, since I updated to .90, WingLoader can't seem to find the Wing1_wcdx.exe and SM1_wcdx.exe executables. It finds everything else just fine but with those two I get this error I'm very much at a loss as to why that is. I checked those locations, as far as wine is...

Not sure which version of dosbox you are using, but I would give doxbox-staging a try. It's under constant development where as vanilla .74 is like a decade old at this point.. https://dosbox-staging.github.io/

Nope, it was a neat consistent esthetic. I seem to remember the mac version of System Shock being red, but maybe I'm wrong on that. I'll have to go dig for it at my father's house. Actually I've never even heard of Shadow Caster. I'll have to check that one out [EDIT] Google to the...

Ah the hobbs scene. Unfortunately it isn't in the PC version (Though should be I feel). I would think a player normally would have triggered when they check their locker in the barracks. Similar to the angel message. Though that would take some executable editing to do it that way. So...

As a backup idea If it turns out there is no call, and assuming the news videos are suppose to play before or after another video, why not just embed the news vid in the same file as the neighboring vid? Does the game care how long the video file should be? Granted that's a distribution mess...
