Another Test Post

Test Image Since I just changed my blog to a new engine, I figured I should get used to the way it handles uploads, images, comments, etc…So here goes: a test post with very little content.

I figured this would be a good test picture, it is the score of our most recent McRugby match against RAGE (we won). They didn’t like the way we played the game and disconnected during the 2nd round, RAGE_Epi stayed in the server so we could report and confirm scores. Much respect to Epi for this.

The Black Scorpions don’t always make friends when playing MechWarrior, we play to win and often surprise other teams with our tactics.

DOSBox, Aces, and Linux

I noticed (in my Acepage server logs) people searching for ‘Slowdown Red Baron 3D’ and ‘Red Baron DOSBox’. Never one to ignore a challenge, I added a link from that site to a slowdown utility for Windows called Throttle and wrote a tutorial on DOSBox and Red Baron (it’s in the ‘Patches, Utilities, and Texts’ section). Also, a tutorial on DOSBox and Aces of the Pacific (it’s in the ‘Utilities and Texts’ section).

So far only Linux DOSBox is explained, but I plan on adding a Windows version as soon as I can be bothered to boot to WinXP.

DOSBox and Linux

I got bored last night and installed DOSBox and QJoyPad for Linux. Using DOSBox I was able to get my favorite old DOS games running perfectly (Aces Over Europe, Aces of the Pacific, and Red Baron). I had to install pmidi and fluidsynth for Aces Over Europe to have sound and I used QJoyPad to map the throttle and joystick rotation to keyboard buttons (for Windows, Joy2Key should work to remap keys if needed, DOSBox has a mapper but my Saitek X52 has too many axes [that really is the plural of axis]).
