If you have the original Duke Nukem 3D install CDs for DOS, you can use the "eduke32" port rather than a VM or DOS emulator. eduke32 is a port of the graphics engine for Duke 3D that renders using OpenGL, and uses the original game files from the CD (requires them, actually). There's just one file you need to copy off the CD to make it work ("game.con" IIRC). There is also something called a "High Resolution Pack" (HRP) for eduke32 that updates the maps to higher res, but I've never been able to get the HRP to work on FreeBSD, even though it works and looks great on Linux. The eduke32 port once emitted a message telling you about the HRP and where to find it, but never explained how to install it or use it on BSD (and the HRP web site has only Windows and Linux-specific installers). Just looked, and it appears that this reference to the HRP is now removed from the FreeBSD port. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
