Warcraft II: speed improvements, sound
This PocketMatrix thread has details on gaining a significant speed improvement in the Warcraft II emulator Wargus, mentioned earlier this week.
Harry explains that with a little editing of the configuration files speed increases and sound support are both possible, although please note that enabling sound increases both loading time and memory usage.
Check out the previous thread for more details on Wargus, and follow the Comments Link for this news item for instructions on editing your config files.

Stratagus update
Stratagus (which runs Wargus, the Warcraft emulator) has been updated, fixing a large number of bugs.
To quote the developer:
* UI now polished.
* Very small font for messages. You'll read'em if you need'em
* A bit cut-down libmikmod added (supports MOD, S3M, XM, IT). Please edit playlist in sounds.lua to add your tracked music. I suggest using simple 4-channel mods to reduce sound skipping.
* Annoyed unit sounds are fixed (not my fault). English sounds in archive.
* Campaign script is fixed again. (again, not my fault).
* Error are now should be in strerr.txt.
* PUD loader fixed (was a place with unit size hardcoded).
* Unit "Action" command is now by holding HWKey2 and tapping.
* Save game packing disabled 'cause of some strange libz/realloc error.
* Stats screen disabled. Too lazy to rewrite positions. I dont need it anyway.
* Stylus side scroll disabled (just forget to put it back, sorry)
The updated version is available to download from n0p's website - unfortunately, there haven't been any changes to the VGA version. You might see more progress if you donate a VGA Pocket PC to the effort...

說明：簡而言之，它是Warcraft II的模擬器....

http://soneric.kiev.ua/wargus.rar =>這是First release，裡面有兩個執行檔，分別針對VGA跟QVGA設計的，我手上沒有VGA的機子，QVGA執行下去後，字很模糊，看起來很吃力，沒有Sound跟Music，速度上還可以接受....
http://soneric.kiev.ua/stratagus.rar =>這個是更新的執行檔...

QVGA (320x240) Branch
http://soneric.kiev.ua/stratagusQVGA.rar =>Full release，QVGA目前最完美的版本，Sound&Music都有，而且速度非常流暢....
+ UI (imho) now polished.
+ Very small font for messages. You'll read'em if you need'em ;)
+ A bit cut-down libmikmod added (supports MOD, S3M, XM, IT). Please edit playlist in sounds.lua to add your tracked music. I suggest using simple 4-channel mods to reduce sound skipping.
+ Annoyed unit sounds are fixed (not my fault). English sounds in archive.
+ Campaign script is fixed again. (again, not my fault).
+ Error are now should be in strerr.txt.
+ PUD loader fixed (was a place with unit size hardcoded).
+ Unit "Action" command is now by holding HWKey2 and tapping.
- Save game packing disabled 'cause of some strange libz/realloc error.
- Stats screen disabled. Too lazy to rewrite positions. I dont need it anyway.
- Stylus side scroll disabled (just forget to put it back, sorry)
... And maybe something i forgot.
Known bugs:
Game quits on save/load (now mainly on save).
http://soneric.kiev.ua/stratagusQ.rar =>更新的執行檔，修正Full release的一些錯誤，如下...
>12.05.2005
+ Load game function changed to directly load from file, not a buffer. Packed saves are no longer supported. Please unpack your saved games using WinZip or similar.
This SHOULD reduce save/load problems.
+ Screen orientation change added. Use "Fullscreen" setting to set left/right screen rotation.
+ Put back mouse scroll - scroll screen holding stylus at screen edges. "MENU" button press is now a bit uncomfortable. Will fix.
>11.05.2005
+ Fixes bug caused to hang briefing screen with music enabled
我打這一篇的時候，就更新到今天了，更新速度很快...
結論：
1.目前沒有VGA版的Full release，VGA用戶要玩就用First release，QVGA的能不能用在VGA上就不清楚了....
2.不知道下載下來的Warcraft II是不是Full Version的，但會看到俄文，而且遊戲的檔案似乎都經過處理(gzip壓縮的樣子)，能不能用英文版的來替代還要試試看...
3.字為了因應QVGA都有放大，有超出的情形，但在接受範圍，靈魂之窗還是比較重要的嘛！
4.系統需求不會太高，連Dopod 818這種記憶體貧弱的機型都能開著音樂跟聲音在跑了...
5.玩的時候千萬不要接電話，不然會失去控制權，只能SoftReset處理了...
6.執行速度略慢，執行檔點下去約等10~20秒才會出現畫面...
7.令人懷念的遊戲，希望各位玩得愉快...
