Re:

I'm on Vista 64 with D3 set to Win98 compatibility mode(XP mode crashes), its using Direct3D renderer. Try disabling compatibility mode, D3 should just run even in Vista 64. I was hoping it would, and I saw everyone is running D3 in Vista. I've been on XP so this is the first time I'm trying D3 in ...

Re:

The Carmaggedon Series (3dfx card of course) Oh man Carmageddon 2 on my SLI Voodoo2s was epic. That game was hilarious. Descent3 has held up amazingly well for being so old. I don't even see the need for much better graphics, the graphics it has are very functional. What ever happened to Interplay ...

Re:

Purely out of curiosity, has anyone tried (or heard) os someone successfully running 3d drivers over a triplehead 3-screen setup? I'm very curious to see (a) if it can be done and (b) how well it would work (yes, I know that means buying and running 3 x 120+ hz monitors ...but still - it's a very t...

Nice thread, I just got a 3D Vision glasses set. Using it with an old CRT monitor at 120Hz. Problem is I can't get Descent3 to show any 3D effect. The Nvidia 3D reticle works and the main menu is in 3D but a bit buggy. The game objects themselves are not showing up in 3D though. I'm on Vista 64 with...

If anyone is up for building some of these I'm definitely in for buying a few.

I don't know what I'm doing enough to build one. I can't find any electronics shops who would do this.

Grendel you have no plans for another batch? Is there a clear no answer there?

Re:

This thing here doesn't work for the 3DPro in XP/Vista right? http://sewelldirect.com/USB-to-Gameport-Adapter-for-Joysticks-Controllers-and-Gamepads.asp BTW, Don't bother with this adapter. It doesn't get the 3DPro's hat switch to work. It only works for the X Y joystick axes, the twist rudder, the...

I've used R-Studio for NTFS before, pretty good. Ontrack also makes good recovery software. As long as you don't write any new data to the drive, you should be fine. When you delete something it only de-links the file. The data is still exactly where it was before you deleted it, but only until it's...

Oh man I need like three of these. This project looks really cool. I'm dealing with laptops so I can't install a PCI gameport card or anything.
