Have you tried running the "dxdiag"? Click on "start", then "Run", and type in "dxdiag". When it's done running, click the sound tab along the top, and move the "Hardware Sound Acceleration level" arrow down to "Basic Acceleration". Click "exit", and try running the game again. If you still have no sound, run the dxdiag again, turn off the hardware acceleration, and try playing again. Some games have a problem with hardware acceleration (like The I of the Dragon), and run better with this option turned down, or flat out off. It's worth a try.

What 3D RPG music do you think is the best?
The Coop replied to Azure Prower's topic in General Discussion
Not to sound like a jerk, but what does the Saturn have to do with the game's musical quality? -
Urgently Need Help On Linux Related Question
The Coop replied to Hawkwing's topic in General Discussion
Yeah. I don't know too much about Linux or dual booting, but that question makes no attempts at defining just what the hell it's asking. -
Have you ever watched Harvey Birdman? If you have, than you know why it is. If you haven't, Shut up. Maybe it's the two hours of Image Ready work messing with my head, but... ... someone wanna explain just what happened here? Sounds like EasyP is saying this game'll be better than PW, but Maco70 is flaming him by saying it'll be better than PW.

A "How To" for running older games with DOSBox...
The Coop replied to The Coop's topic in General Discussion
A mighty bump. -
I believe joint bumping was yesterday.

Somehow, I get an odd Yanni/Castlevania (recent ones) vibe listening to this.

What responsibilities? It's not like they'd be touring the country in a bus with "OCRemix" on the side amidst constant live media coverage But seriously, to my un-podcast-initiated mind, their responsibilities would be pimping the show in a positive light, pimping the site and all its remixes in a positive light, and running the podcast (requests, interviews, play lists, setting up and arranging any needed mirrors/threads/downloads, etc). What other duties am I missing? To be perfectly honest, I think we've all learned from past events that not everyone who works for a given company or site is the best person to speak for all of it (or parts of it). Sometimes you have to step outside that so-called "circle of trust", and bring in a fresh perspective... someone who hasn't been in constant contact with everything OCR. And chances are, if someone's that interested in being a part of the OCR line up, they wouldn't have major issues with the site. After all, why do volunteer work for something you can't stand? Besides... it wouldn't be hard to set up a few simple rules... like, "Don't trash talk the site or its staff on the air", right? Anyway, that's my take on it. I can see where you're coming from Bahamut, and I understand the concerns behind your views. Hopefully my point comes across at least reasonably well.

Actually, I believe that's not really the case. The person doing the podcast (be it official or unofficial) should have a good personality to make the show at least semi-interesting when they talk, have knowledge about the remixes/games that are being featured, and basically just know how to use the needed equipment. You don't need to be an OCR regular to have those traits. So whether they're new to the site, or a regular of several years, as long as they know what they're doing, saying, and don't come off as a bumbling dolt, I see no reason to hold community visibility over someone's head as long as they can prove their abilities Of course, since this guy's asking about doing an unofficial podcast, it's a bit irrelevant.

Wow. I just saw bits of the videos this guy theoretically made between the shootings on Fox News. He was definitely fucked in the head, ranting and raving like a nut job to a camera he held. Couple that with the court ruling from 2005 calling him a danger to people around him, and now you have to wonder... why was this guy allowed to continue walking around free? Sounds like he needed to be in a rubber room a long time ago.

That's why I like the one EB I go to. I know most of the people that work in that store, so I don't have to worry about getting all the discount/subscription bullshit dumped into my lap when I go there. They also know I basically hate strategy guides (can't anyone actually beat games these days without having their hand held all the way through them?), so... The other EB/Gamestop stores, and the one or two Gamecrazy stores that are somewhat close by, are just pits. Annoying employees, REALLY annoying managers, serious amounts of misinformation and wrong information, pissy attitudes... it's sad. The whole situation is bad enough with the hoops EB/Gamespot makes their employees jump through, but when the company hires people with poor attitudes, it's made worse. I wound up sharing words with a store manager a few weeks ago. The guy was acting like a complete tool to me, the employee working with him, and a mother shopping for a game for her daughter. He wandered off, and I wound up helping her. I went up to the counter to buy my magazine, the mother was next to me being helped by the other employee, and the kid was out of earshot playing with the 360 machine. So, leaned forward a little as I handed him my money, and asked him if he always acted like a complete fucknut to his customers, or if we were just the lucky ones today. The mother tried not to laugh in his face, but didn't quite make it. I know he may have been the product of all the crap his employer does, but that's still no excuse to be a prick... especially to a little kid. I know that makes me a dick too, but come on... telling a little girl to "get the hell away" when she tugged on his pant leg to ask him something?

The loss of life in all this is tragic. But perhaps what makes it even more tragic, is why it happened. A spat with his girlfriend? Over thirty people died because this guy's love life might have hit a bump?

I win towt twonite nda jot crunk! HEHAB!H! Or not. Thanks again guys

Other than a quick comment on being baffled by Zeklan's post, all I got say is, thanks guys And don't worry, AD. To me, you'll always be the crabby old man who complains at random people as they pass him at the restaurant, store, or wherever he happens to be that day OH! And save me a seat at the home, Maha. I hear they're serving pudding tonight after Jeopardy.

I doubt anyone will have an issue with their remix being played. A bit of publicity for OCR, and mentioning what game/remixer it's from and all that is nice too. So really, I see no reason for you not to be able to play them on your radio station. Just uh... grab a broad selection, and not just large groups from the "popular" games. The lesser played games and such need lovin' too

Off the top of my head... Street Fighter II Street Fighter II: Champion Edition Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting Super Street Fighter II Super Street Fighter II Turbo Super Street Fighter II X for Matching Service Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix And that doesn't even get into all the ports of a number of these entries.

Betrayal At Krondor Back in 1993, when D&D games appeared frequently on the old IBM computers, this game was released. A number of years later, Sierra On-Line, Inc. released the game was freeware to promote its sequel. Despite the praise for it, it kind of got buried and forgotten by the consumers back in the day. But, I figured I'd dig it up for this thread. So if you still like those old school D&D games, and feel like playing one that's got a lot to offer, here ya go. Note: You'll need DOSBox to play it.

I'm sorry, but I just can't get excited about this. I've played SSF2T to the point of being damn near tired of it. Couple that with the fact that this 13 year old game has been ported over and over again, and it's feeling a lot like rehash city. Sure, it's a neat idea, and God knows it's about time Capcom gave it a whirl... but why not do it to something that hasn't already been re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released? Better still, why not put all that effort into something new... like Darkstalkers 4?

If it has a forum you can post on, it can crash there. It doesn't matter which site it is. I've had it happen here, on Gerbilfat, .org, Remod, the Super Mario 64 project site, and several other sites I visit.

I personally only use No Script and Adblock Plus (both up to date).

There is no error message. When you hit "Enter" while typing in your forum message, you get a box that pops up telling you that FireFox has to close (you know, the whole "Send/Don't Send" deal). Then you have to restart FireFox. This has been happening to me ever since the 2.0.0.2 upgrade, and it's getting really old.

Wait... you mean that's not how it's supposed to be done in reality?

So which one's Australia using... This one, or this one? I like the "Fear" icon in the second group myself
