Street Fighter Collection - PC - 1994

[Cleatis]

I got one of these from a Goodwill in Oklahoma for $2.50
It has Street Fighter, (hmm...I wonder why they didnt call it Fighting Streets?) Street Fighter 2, Megaman, & Megaman 3.
Anybody else happen to have one of these?
I downloaded DOSbox 0.36, a 286 emulator (among other things). I hope I can run Slowdown on DOSbox because I think the 286 may be too fast for the game.
I just hope I can get my new Pure White Sega Saturn USB controller ( :love: ) to work with it.

If anybody else wants to try DOSbox, heres the link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox

I remember having JUST Street Fighter for my Tandy XT-1000. looked and played like total junk and I could never get anywhere because all I had was a keyboard.

*sniff* good times.

Has anyone ever got DosBox to work good ?

I can't even get Doom to run fast enough with it. :/

And I have a P4 3.4ghz with 512ram and a Geforce 5600

I bought that a long time ago. Its trash... the only decent game on there is Street Fighter. SF2, MM, MM3 are all really terribly made.

I use Dosbox for all my dos vintage gaming needs, it has worked fine for me after some tinkering with memory settings. I gots a p4 3.06 and havent noticed any sl0wdown. If dosbox wont work, I suggest you try BOCHS, it is a x86 emulator, you can get it at sourgeforge

I had trouble with DOSBox until I downloaded DFend, a front-end for DOSBox. It's a lot easier to use menus to configure everything, and if it doesn't work well, just close one window and DFend still has it's window open so you can quickly tweak settings. You can also do seperate profiles for each game.

I remember seeing that in my local Kmart a looong time ago. Thought it was pretty cool at the time, but never picked it up though.

I don't recall SF2 being made terribly at all - it was a direct port of the SNES one, pretty much. Then again, maybe this another version. MM and MM3, yeah, those were bad...and I've only played the old SF once.

DOSBox is many things, and I would not simply call it a "286" emulator (if for no other reason than the fact that it definitely supports EMS).

Anyway, I'd heard of MM and MM3 (which were actually developed by Hi-Tech Expressions, not Capcom, and are better left forgotten), and I knew of the PC port of SFII, but this is the first I've heard of a PC port of the original Street Fighter. (I think Capcom released an emulated version more recently.)

And Bochs is quite difficult to get working. (Development on it has also largely stalled.)

About DOOM, I think the DOOM '95 Launcher is Freeware now. Thats How I run DOOM here. Works great, but I've only tried it with Windows ME.

This sounds cool...I want to see some terrible MM 1 and 3!!

I wonder how bad MM1 or 3 could actually be, being great games and all. Sometimes the sadisitic side of me likes to see masterpieces like the MM games butchered just to experience playing them

They were downloadable at Underdogs, but then they were taken down... However, you can still buy your very own copy of MM3 at http://www.cdaccess.com/html/quick/megaman3pj.htm for cheap. (If it doesn't seem worth the cost of shipping, check out the other inventory at CD Access; they've got some great stuff, and plenty of it!)

Neither would I. I'd call it "a 286 emulator (among other things)." since I downloaded it to emulate a 286.

This is actually an issue with the sound code for the DOS Doom games. So far, no DOS emulators are able to get the sound in the Doom games to work properly.

Doom 95 works perfectly for all of the Doom games and is what Activision used in the "Doom Collector's Edition". There is one problem: the mouse will not work under Windows 2000/XP. Doom 95 was hard coded to use the Win9x mouse virtual device driver. The source code is believed to be lost (it was written by Microsoft), so there isn't any hope for this being fixed.

Thanks, I just downloaded D-Fend & JoyToSomething. The Joy one should let me use a USB pad on DOSbox. (Well see how responsive it is though... :hmm: )

I still see Doom Collector's Edition being sold in stores. I figured it had to have the Windows versions of Doom and Doom II. But if the mouse does'nt work for Doom, does that mean you have to use a joystick or keyboard? :hmm:
