Is there a "moslo" type program for Windows?

Paratech · February 9th, 2007

I purchased Layer Section a.k.a Rayforce, and it works, but it runs too fast.
From what I understood, Moslo was primarily for DOS games, and this is a Windows 9X game, it was designed to run on a 166mhz system, not on a 900mhz PC...

Is there any program I can run to slow it down a bit?

Yeah, I bought a few "ancient" games lately...what can I say, I like "old" games...

not quite sure at all, but i suggest turning vsync on with your graphics card. no guarentee though.

In Windows XP?

Layer Section?

If it's the same version I have, you need to replace "SAPI.DLL"
On the CD, there should be more versions of this DLL, the one in the directory "sapi_nd" works fine for me.
If you don't have it, let me know and I'll attach the file.

Something like DOSBox will slow down games.

Samor · February 9th, 2007

hmm, yes, I'd normally recommend that, but this is a win9x game.

I happen to know a fix for this game specifically (see my earlier post)....

I also know more general fixes (and there are cpu slowdown programs for windows, I have to look the names up though), but I don't think they apply well for this particular game.

Thanks, that worked! How'd you figure that out?

Tried the game, noticed it not working right, after trying several things that didn't work I started looking in the directories and then I noticed those DLL's on the CD (more specifically, the folder named "mtrx_s3"). I figured that it had something to do with the video and tried that one first, but it didn't work correctly. Then I tried the one in "sapi_nd" and it worked.

There was this site I found while looking for solutions. There should be a way to play other games with similar problems: http://www.geocities.com/kulhain/
