Kontza's Mechlab Bug (Fixed using Slugs DLL)

Post by Sir MMPD Radick »

I had this posted a while back, but never reposted it on the forums because kontza's solution is not neccessary anymore for the 3dfx, Pentium, Non-Retail Pentium, and Netmech versions of MechWarrior 2 95. The solution that has been found to be much more trustworthy is using a combination of slugs dll with his new wrapper, the reason for this is that his wrapper is able to fix jumpjet problems and heat issues(depending on your machine specs... dual and quad core machines it does not work very well).

BACKUP mw2shell.dll
Anyway for Kontza's method all you need to do is replace the mw2shell.dll with slugs version of the dll.
It should fix the mechlab issue. This only has been tested with the Non-Retail Pentium, Netmech, and Pentium editions. This will not work with Titanium or Battlepack.

Dunno, i think if you slave dosbox to one core and run cpugrab on that core it probably will be fine, but i have not tested it so i cannot verify my theory.
