Bloody hell, I'm up for giving this a go, got TS3/hamachi - where do I sign up?

Never had chance to try ef2000 in MP - 1)was a student, 2)was running it on a 486DX2/66 3)did not have the internet (see 1). Coop campaign sounds fantastic!

I'm still using the ykwong (spelling?) that I posted on months back as the new version linked gives me a CTD so hopefully the IPX emulation hasn't changed.

Graphics wise, I found that I could use D3D in dfend-reloaded and the optional pixelshaders. I find that the follwing works best in my DOSBox settings | custom settings:

glide=emu
[sdl]
pixelshader=GS4xScale.fx

Helps to smooth out some of the jaggies!

Now if only we could mouse look working - imagine locking up a target using TrackIR/FacetrackNOIR!

Wee Mac, thanks for those settings - will try them out when I have time. Didn't know about the pixelshader option(s)

Desmoflex, my FPS are not great at all, but better than the previous version of the modded dosbox. In that one, the sound stuttered if I increased cpu cycles enough to smooth fps. Now, the sound is ok. Improvements in dosbox itself have made it run a variety of older sims faster, not just this one (Longbow 1, for example). I am hoping for another update of dosbox, and then with any luck, an update of the SVN modded version.
