Wolfenstein 3D does have mouse support (mouse port two). Right click fires and left click / mouse move makes you walk.

Made dumb change in ATI Catalyst, can't revert

Basically, I changed the 'desktop area' or something along those lines to a resolution my monitor cannot handle. I thought it would change the desktop viewing area so that I could scroll around a larger area but still have the 1280x1024 screen resolution. Yes, it was pretty stupid and I should have ...

Zbattle's been up and down recently...Hope it gets stable soon.

I keep MSN's of some regulars I play on ZB. Handy for getting games when the server's down. It's also easy seeing who's on without waiting in a room.

If this is true, and WeaponLord is hardpatched, then the xband related bytes (i.e. IPS), can be retrieved from inside the rom. If a good dump doesn't contain such data, maybe an Overdump does, but again that's really a wild guess. Unless some romhacker check it, we can't say if it's real internal s...

I think you are missing the point somewhat. If the patch data is always downloaded from the master server and it is not stored in any permanent form of storage such as SRAM, then there is no point. What is there to dissect if we have no data to look at? If they did, then only the original developer...

Well, the more important issue really is.. where is the ROM patch data stored. If it is stored on the XBAND cart or whatever, then extracting the patch data is probably feasible (it may be an idea to get a romhacker to do this). If it is not, then it is actually pointless. It's probable considering...

You can only load the rom after you connect. You'll see a window where you can chat and set the netplay settings. You load the rom as normal from there and if the other guy has the same rom, the game begins.

If the versions are incompatible, they'll make a connection but they'll be informed of the version mismatch. The ROM select + chat screen only appears after they connect.

Connection usually takes less than a second. If it doesn't work almost instantly, than there are problems with the network. I can't say much more than that; I don't have a router and such.

I'm guessing this is the stuff you're after. http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/33/romregim8.png Those are for 'Map Mode 21' / HiRom / whatever the accepted name for it is. For 'LoRom' they appear in the ROM 8000h earlier. There's a dev manual below that covers it. http://www.romhacking.net/docs/SFC...

Add another vote for a MAME sticky. That last release was amazing and it really deserves to be acknowledged.

In MAME or the real arcade board? For MAME in the video options of the in game GUI is a 'Dual side-by-side' option for dual screen games. The 6P version has it on by default?

What video settings do you have? A filter like a HQx can easily take more CPU power than a PS1 emulator. With normal settings there shouldn't be any slowdown on that PC.

Also, someone's going to say it so it may aswell be me. That avatar is far, far too big.
