maddgamer2: HI ALL i'm the new guy on the block and even after 50+ years of gaming I still am not much of a computer person. I had a very good friend who died in 2014 and he was an expert on anything computer. I have to fend for myself now. I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this but I thought that it would get more reads here
I love the old games and I have just bought the M&M collection and had some problems with installing them. I use a LG 65" HDMI 4K 3D TV for my monitor and I have figured out a way to install and run the games but there might be a better way. I got the
Dos Box mini window for all the games and for games 6-9 the 'DIRECT DRAW FAILED" error message. If I change the resolution on the desktop to 1280 x 1020 they will run. Without getting real technical is there a way I can improve resolution and color within the game folders rather than in windows itself? Is it possible to write a new patch file or exe file to improve resolution and color
without affecting the windows settings on the computer? I hope someone can make sense of what I am asking and if so thanks in advance and if not well I hope I don't look like to much of a computer idiot.

j0ekerr: If I'm reading this right you're asking if you can improve the resolution and color depth of the game itself.
The short answer is no, the long answer is absolutely no. The games were designed to run with a limited colour pallete and at a given resolution and that's what they have, Increasing both of them would mean remaking all of the artwork from scratch... which is exactly what the HD remastered version of HoMM 3 has done (although poorly).
hat is what I was thinking. I should be happy I can run them eith just a change in resolution on the desk top

BEEN THERE DONE THAT I try to get in 30 minutes a day (down from my misspent youth of 4 HR. a day) The computer gets most of my time. I have gone way past being able to justify having 4 acoustic/electric guitars two of which are custom built 8 are worth about 8K EACH. obtained by selling substances many many years ago.

I have that game and I was wondering to. Logic would say that because you can play 2 ways:
1. human vs. computer

2. human vs. human on a server online.
I would go to the community page on steam or to the game page by the publisher to find out.

STUPID QUESTION: How do you upload an avatar portrait here?
avatar
CarrionCrow: All right, a question for whoever - if I'm actually going to stream games, play them badly, and see how badly I can embarrass and humiliate myself for the entertainment of others, what should I play?

Only the worst of the worst? The best and worst both? Or should I turn it into a video documentary series of me trying to kill my backlog so people get an idea of what a game's like for possible purchasing? -laughs-
well...if ya REALLY are going to debase and humiliate your self you coul tak a turn at one of the early Wizardry games:-)

I wouldn't mind doing it. But what I ran into is the fact that my internet speed isn't anywhere near good enough to stream anything. Would probably have to upgrade my service two to four more times to get enough speed.

English is overrated. So long as you don't wake up in a jail cell with no pants, you'll be fine. ;)

Can't complain too much here. Bit tired, but that's nothing new. Figuring I'll kill some time between now and staff picks, see if there's anything I want before spending money to grab books before that sale expires.
(Going to laugh if I screw every part of that plan up by dozing off at my desk...)
