Just thought I'd add a few things. Yes, Kymaera is going to be available for DOS and Linux as well as Windows. The major issue right now is that KymaeraConfig is a Windows-only application. So you have to configure the FE in windows, and then you can copy over your config files and run the FE in DOS. Same thing for Linux. Right now, I'm working on a crossplatform UI version of KymaeraConfig to solve this. Another piece of info that most people don't know is that you can use USB in Dos with certain device drivers. I know that on win98 installations, you can get the hidusb.sys file. You can use this driver in DOS by putting it in your config.sys file to enable your USB mice. Haven't tried it personally, but I hear it works fine. --- Quote from: Hoagie_one on October 06, 2004, 01:44:24 pm --- --- Quote from: Buddabing on October 06, 2004, 08:58:03 am --- --- Quote from: Thenasty on October 05, 2004, 07:27:13 pm --- --- Quote from: Buddabing on October 05, 2004, 02:45:01 pm --- Most of the fancier frontends are Windows-only, but Kymaera and GameLauncher have DOS versions.

Does it really run in Pure DOS ? --- End quote --- Link to announcement Maybe I should have said "Kymaera WILL be available on DOS". --- End quote --- And Linux it seems --- End quote --- |

On the other hand, your weapon never overheats. :) The PC versions of House of the Dead and House of the Dead 2 work with two guns with a third-party patch called The Troubleshooter. Find it at http://thetroubleshooter.home.mindspring.com/index.htm. My favorite two-gun games are actually Sharpshooter and Zero Point. When you're playing games with hot and heavy 2-player shooting like Area 51 and Maximum Force, the system can bog down a bit when both players are pulling the trigger like it's a turf war in Compton. But overall, it works well. You'll note that the top rear piece of the guns slides off (they probably meant to make a removable scope available or something). I took advantage of this and spray-painted the removable pieces with automotive metal-flake touch-up paint: --Chris |

Thanks Chris. Nice touch w/ the coloring of the guns. There's gotta be a hack or a way around the issue of not being able to hold the trigger down for machine gun fire in T2. I'll try to find out something on that. Thanks again. |

I imagine that an autofire circuit could be built like the ones you used to find on third-parti Atari joysticks. --Chris |
