Yeah, I know D1 & 2 are not like the other games... but I'm basing my observation on the way the D3 ship moves AND how I remember the ships responding when I used to use a joystick many years ago. (I was using a 4-button Gravis Analog Pro) (By the way, anyone got one of those that they want to p...

UPDATE : PS2Rate tested on both the Win95 and WIN98SE system... WITHOUT success. Both systems allowed the mouse to be slowed down, but no luck speeding it up. Tried it IN-GAME and ON-DESKTOP with same results. This mouse came with either the Win95 system or the Win98 system... could it be too old to...

I downloaded and tried the PS2rate on the Win95 system... no effect speeding up the mouse, but it was able to slow it down. Go figure. I have another operational computer with Win98SE on it so I won't need to upgrade the Win95 system to 98SE. The 98SE presently has a USB mouse, but I'll try using th...

My tech level is a bit behind you folks, so I could use some pointers (help) with adjusting the polling rate for the mouse... how and where do I do that? Believe it or not my Gateway G5, Win95 system actually has USB support; the machine has two USB ports on the back and the original OS disk that ca...

D1 and D2 Mouse \"Paddling\" issue (again)

Hope you guys don't mind if I flog this old dead-horse topic again for a few minutes... I just resurrected an old Gateway G5 233 PC I've had stored away for about 13 years (Win95 OS) with hopes that Descent 1 and 2 (and a few other old favorite games) would play better on it than they do on my newer...

It ain't the dark that bites... its the boogie men (robots in our case) IN the dark. So just allow for GAMMA CORRECTION and it should be good as is. Let the gamer decide how dark he can handle it.

RAPTURE!

Guys, I'm a new face and new name on the groups... but I've been playing Descent since D1 first came out. Can't get enough of it! I'm 39, and I've recently introduced my 14 year old son to it... who also loves it, and (shamefully) holds his own quite well against this old man! Anyway, finding out ab...
