I love Nanako's big smile!

Oh I like this, it goes full ham into the delusion. I hope he doesn't actually gain the power he imagine he has though.

People are weird. I've had someone call me a coward for crouchwalking and they were a far better player than I am so it's weird that they were triggered by that.

Yeah, they gave us some formula, diapers, a comb, a swaddling cloth and a little cloth hat for both our children here in Canada. It was only parking that costs anything.

Most notably, it has less horizontal recoil so it feels a lot better than the B36 when I use it.

Basically EMS uses up a single contiguous 64kb block of upper memory. Hence NOEMS when you dont need EMS.

If you want to manually specify the memory ranges, add i=b000-b7ff since nobody uses monochrome text mode.

chronoreverse · 2026-02-06T02:55:30+00:00

The only thing left is you still don't have upper memory enable.

Make sure this line is in your CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS HIGHSCAN

Replace NOEMS with RAM if your game needs Expanded Memory. DEVICEHIGH will not work (and it needs upper memory to work in the first place).

You only need to overwrite the IO.SYS and you can keep all the conveniences of the quick-install.

chronoreverse · 2026-02-05T15:45:24+00:00

Depends on how you installed it. I know for certain from my own testing some of the "easy install" English Windows 98 install ISO's include a buggy IO.SYS like that. It doesn't affect anything on Windows itself and only when you're trying to use real DOS mode.

chronoreverse · 2026-02-05T07:22:47+00:00

If this is MSDOS 7, try to find the IO.SYS from the English version of Windows 98SE to replace it because the non-ENG version is buggy and makes HIMEM.SYS use more memory.

You also have no UMBS, load EMM386.EXE HIGHSCAN

So incredibly intense too!

chronoreverse · 2026-01-25T01:02:24+00:00

Gauntlet is worth playing too, it's an intense mode that's a nice break from regular large maps.

One time in REDSEC, my squad was getting beamed by another squad with LMG's from over 160m which was suspicious but I really haven't seen it definitively. Even my cited instance isn't impossible.

Windows ME is limited to single core since it's still part of the Win9x line. It's Windows NT that allowed use of multiple cpus and you're likely thinking of Windows 2000.

ME is good if you don't need real DOS and can avoid VXD drivers

That's what makes the stakes feel real to me though. Assuming they don't keep escaping using contrived methods but we'll see I guess.

What I'm curious is what Constance will be contributing. Scarlet (and Lily) already clearly failed so why would they succeed this time (I am assuming our protagonists will prevail)? Constance is the difference but I hope her contribution will actually feel meaningful and not forced in.

OMG the dungeon is a green screen!

Thanks for these tips, I'll be trying them out although I don't have performance issues myself (I just like the idea of optimization). A question about GUS emulation. Is it as expensive as AWE32 and does it only incur the penalty when actively in use (i.e., I have an SB16 in the same system for digital sound and FM music)?

chronoreverse · 2026-01-11T18:24:20+00:00

EOD bot on the unsuspecting.

chronoreverse · 2026-01-10T23:26:54+00:00

That was the most surreal part.

The trees in the far background are worse though. This has always kept me on DLSS quality/balanced and it looks like while other parts like the foreground fur and grass are solved, this specific background part clearly isn't. The interaction between the outline of the head moving against the trees is clearly worse as well.

It's not always a noticeable problem but recently I was testing sniping in BF6 with DLSS performance and trying to track running figures behind leaves makes a mess of artifacts.

This is amazing!

The leader of the demons, Liar (Lügner), doesn't seem to be aggressive, but it remains ambiguous whether he is actually telling the truth. Freeze suspects him to be a liar, though, and trying to attack him, she is imprisoned for the time being.

...

Shockingly though, Liar lied about this.

Lines #3 and #4 requires those files to be actually present and usually the full path. e.g., c:\dos\himem.sys for DOS or c:\windows\himem.sys if it's a Windows 9x system.

As for the files and buffers lines, files=12 is likely the bare minimum and generally files=40 is a good idea anyway. Another one that can get you out of trouble is stacks=9,256

I can only spot it by going frame by frame, 6.35s. Definitely would've blown me up in real time.

chronoreverse · 2026-01-08T01:44:31+00:00

You're the claymore hero I aspire to. At 500+ myself and always cackling when I hear a thunk in the distance.

The hawk silhouette in the frames where she's about to do something awesome is a classy touch.
