Nods, so that is where the separation occurred and why NT existed. It was all advances for businesses. Except now we got Windows Server which pretty much is the same thing yet again :P

Except that Windows XP was also highly buggy... until the service packs, it was an unstable nightmare from what I recall, and even with the service packs it was far from the stability level of Windows 7.

Funny, the site was talking about installing DirectX 7.

I never really had problems with VirtualBox. I was able to play Tomb Raider 1. It just wasn't exactly the most user friendly of experiences, it was a tiny little box on the screen. And I had problems making certain features work right.

I have changed some settings around. I think I mistakenly reset my DOSBox settings and never set them back right. I had some memory issues lately, so I jumped from 16 to 32 MB. I also decided to increase sensitivity a bit.

As for CPU=max, that is actually a bit beneficial, it makes it so the Aftershock level select is instantaneous (there was a momentary delay before). I should mention that all resolutions below 640x400 are pretty much stretched in odd ways for me beyond the default in Daum. Trying to jump up to 640x400 (480 is squished a bit) is not atrocious. But there is notable... jerkiness? It feels somewhat unresponsive. 800x600 SEVERELY lags to the point it is impossible to play. 200000 causes everything to lag, regardless of size.

So, stupid question, but do you know how to compile executables? I keep getting hunk failures in Cygwin when I try to use patch, even with a prior dos2unix (which doesn't work due to binary symbol 0x00, making it a binary file). I have tried using -Np1 -d, whereupon it complains about a file, and once again freaks out with hunk failures when I define it as pcem.exe.
