Ahhh WC3 memories

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

DOSBox is great, although performance could be better. Besides, you don't necessarily NEED an emulator to play WC3, because the last time I played it the game worked with XP. I can't find it, but I'm pretty sure that there is an XP patch out there that enables the music, etc.

There is? Where?

Post Wed Nov 07, 2007 4:54 pm

I just said that I couldn't find it. Pay attention, llama! Anyway, the instructions I followed ages ago were somewhere over at wcnews.com. If the tips there can't help ye, then I certainly can't .

Bah you must've edited half-way through me post.
I know their is a Vindoze 95 patch for WC4 (which apparently works for XP), but then you bump into USB joystick issues and I tossed my serial one 6 months ago.

I didn't edit nuthin' after you posted! As for WC, if I remember I'll check my DVD and see if I left myself any useful instructions/files. I do that sometimes.

No I mean you edited while I was in the process of posting, so therefore I missed your edited message. If you will notice your edit time is 5 to 60 seconds prior to me posting my message.

'course, if you had Kilrathi Saga you wouldn't have these issues, and there was not only a patch for WC4 but later releases on EA Classics had a native Vindoze installation which I've still got, thus avoiding said USB joystick problem. Cross your munificent Mullah's palm with silver, and this could be yours.

Thanks for the offer Taw but I'm satisfactoraily satisfied with ye olde Disk Operating System solution. Besides I know it's just a cunning Tawakalnistanian ploy to discover the location of the legendary Mustantopian Silver Hoard.

an old sixpence and a teaspoon that you stole from a hotel doesn't amount to much of a "hoard" now, does it?

Post Sun Nov 11, 2007 2:38 pm

Pfft! Junk silver is for the commoner, so take your tea set and be gone with you. The 'Hoard' is made up of nothing but .999 fine silver.

shame that it's still in your auntie's display cabinet then, isn't it?

Post Sun Nov 11, 2007 3:16 pm

Yes, very amusing. Any inhertence I recieve will probably equate to no more than an old couch and 3 jars of apricot preserves from '79. I actually do invest a small amount of cash into silver from time to time, though it's more of a stash than a hoard.

if you give me your bank account details my friend I can share with you the proceeds of estate of the former finance minister of the Republic of Rumbabwe, so you will get a percentage of 300 million dollars of silver currently held in reserve in the upper reaches of the Congo.

Post Sun Nov 11, 2007 3:50 pm

Tsk tsk tsk, you should only ask for my bank account details after you've rendered me interested in your nefarious scheme. As a long time hustler I thought you would've known that.

you'd have preferred the proposal of marriage then?
