If I recall correctly, there isn't that much of a functional difference in CD read times above 24x. I doubt that the CD is what's causing the problems. Do a full install and if the…

Well, if VM causes sluggishness, I will turn it off! I do have 128 MB of physical RAM, so if I allocate 120-or-so MB to D2 and quit the finder, will speed noticeably increase?

The 1.03 beta patch for Diablo 2 fixed my crash bug, but I was disappointed to see that the game isn't as silky as I had expected. I'm used to playing on my friend's P3/550 with 2…

Diablo II Performance Problem SOLVED For those of you experiencing laggy D2 performance, especially when it involves the CD drive flogging away at the disc, here's one more thing …

Where do we PUT that sound file, TheGib??? I WANNA KNOW!!!

Put it in the Diablo II Files folder with similar files such as Diablo II Graphics, Diablo II Speech and Diablo II Game Data (there may be less there depending on which install you…

Does this prevent D2 from using the identical file on the Play Disc? Just wondering... I don't want to have this thing eat up 350 MB of space if it won't even be used by the game.

Well, I just connected to Battle.net and I was updated to v1.03. And I must say... The framerate has increased A LOT. Now it runs silky smooth almost all the time (with 128 MB real…

Yeah, it uses the one on the hard drive as opposed to the one on the Play Disc. I know this for a fact because I used to play it with the music on the CD, and I could consistently…

I found the same improvement by turning the music off. The only thing that bugs me is the stupid save and exit concept. I like the way it forces you to play your character properl…

I am running D2 on 160 mb ram an 266 mhz rev C iMac and it runs very well. I am running in RAVE with thousands of colors if that helps [This message has been edited by PeteL999 (…

I have a 500Mhz Pismo With a Gig of Ram. Yes a Gig. I also have a 400 Mhz PC Desktop with 512 Ram. I would like to know which computer I should run D2 on for I have not yet bou…

What is a pismo?

Just buy the Mac version and try it out on the Pismo. If the framerates and graphical quality isn't to your satisfaction, install it on the PC (the Mac box contains hybrid CD's).

A 'Pismo' is the current generation of Powerbooks (400-500 mHz).

By my reckoning, yes. If they don't provide for all users, then it is okay to improvise, which is what you have done. As long as the original author gets credit for it (which they …

Who cares? I mean, if you are only talking about nintendo games... or even super nintendo... I mean, the manufacturer's arent making any money on them right now, because they a…

This coming from someone who posted links to warez sites on this forum (which were quickly deleted).

Bzzzt. They're IP and the company still has the capability to make money from them, as evidenced by the demand for ROMs. However, I agree with Cipher13 in that there is no way for …

Herr, you can get the FF Anthology for PSX in English...though I think emulation is the only way to get FF4 in English... As for legality issue, I don't know law all that well, bu…

No, bleemcast... its a PSX emulator for Dreamcast. Not that abortion of a console gaming system "saturn". Anyway, I sure as heck wouldnt pay 10 dollars for a ROM of a 10 yr old g…

I can't remember how large the carts can actually get The biggest N64 carts are 512Mb. Cipher13

What N64 game is 512MB?? The biggest I've heard of is about 32MB and most are about 8MB to 24MB. That was one of the major drawbacks of the N64 vs. the playstation. Because the…

yeah, the N64's drawback was that everything was stored on the ROM instead of a CD, thus severely limits the game size...I read something like if you want to play FF7 on N64, you'l…

blizaine, that's 512 megabits, not 512 megabytes. Big difference. 512 megabits = 64 megabytes Far smaller than the largest CD or DVD game. As for the Final Fantasy series:I was r…
