QEMU Drakan - Order Of The Flame (1999) (EAX) -- From Install to Play in 15 Mins
9"In the Ages without QEMU, the Order of PC emulation commanded **\*STUPIDITY\*** without GPU Acceleration, and the **\*Accuracy \*BS\*\*** without CPU Virtualization. As the Flame of QEMU rose and bonded in qemu-3dfx, whatever "Trash"Boxes and "JUNK_PC"em ignited in inferno, burned into ashes for those once happy for the Core i9-13900KF or Ryzen 9 7950X emulating Pentium II 300MHz with the fantastic Voodoos emulation." -- Order of the Flame, qemu-3dfx.🤣
Drakan - Order of the Flame (1999) by Surreal Software was a unique game in style in its time, playing as the gorgeous heroin Rynn riding on Arokh the Dragon. QEMU featuring qemu-3dfx proudly brought yet another perfect preservation in pristine condition, including the game stellar EAX environmental 3D audio with DSOAL/OpenAL-Soft. If anyone ever naively believed that the game was playable in the **\*RECOMMENDED\*** Pentium II 266MHz and GeForce 2 GTS coupled with EAX environmental audio, then it's gonna be a massive let down. Sadly, that was the truth in the late 90's back then, when every GPUs was obsoleted after 6 months, driving many in abandoning PC gaming and moving into consoles for their guaranteed playability. Despite having aged for over 20+ years, PCem/86Box in their FOOLS' pretense will never be able to play it. I hope I was wrong, so the game built-in benchmark was included in the video in daring PCem/86Box to use it to defy the slanders. Those aren't being called "Trash"Boxes or "JUNK_PC"em without reasons. 🤣 If one had ever hoped for PCem/86Box in Game Preservation, then a WAIT in ETERNITY shall be.
QEMU featuring qemu-3dfx delivers maximum performance from modern CPU/GPU to play the game at the BEST visuals and quality in native high resolution rendering. Playing in VM offers an absolute peace-of-mind isolation from modern Windows, simple install & play without the cumbersome steps in hunting for patches, fans' mods or source-ports, if any, to be able to play it. Thin-and-light laptops are first-class support by qemu-3dfx, enabling retro gaming without space & time constrains in contrast to building real Win98/XP boxes to play Good Old Games.
Lastly as always, thanks for those supported & donated to the project and Game Preservation.
