May 23, 2013 – Post edits.

As the video game industry began booming during the early 1990′s, all of us gamers have wondered and obviously have seen the pattern, will next gen video games cost more than the already expensive price of $60?

As years have past by, we have seen the pattern of video games costing more as technology advances and consoles moving forward. Back in the day, games were worth $40, and later $50 when the PS2 and original Xbox were released.

Wsock32.dll File Download – A Must for Many Old PC Games for Multiplayer!

wsock32.dll
Revisions:
5-20-13: Initial release.

5-23-13: Fixed zippyshare link so it links correctly now.


I’ll make this super short. Odds are you came to this page because one of my Youtube gaming tutorials had a link to this blog article. As time move on, it is possible that my online hosting file sharing sites may try to delete my file. Mediafire did this to me before, and effectively, disabled my account.

I have moved on, learned from my ways (twice), and now I present to you a backup mirror for the wsock32.dll file. Many old games use this like Red Alert 2, Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge, and also Dune 2000. Not every single wsock32.dll on the Internet is the same, so make sure you are using my copy, and you are good to go. Just put it into the same folder as your game.exe or whatever game you are playing, and you are ready to play!

Use X360CE to Emulate Xbox 360 Controller

If you came to this page, you are probably here because of a game video tutorial that uses a PS2 controller to emulate the xbox 360 controller so you can use it in specific Window games. I did notice that in the newer versions of X360CE, it may not work properly with certain games, even if you remap the controller. Dead Island Riptide is a good example.

So let’s get to it!

Downloads:

x360ce.App-2.0.2.163: Zippyshare

If you want the latest version of X360CE, go here: Main Site

Looking for a copy of msvcr110.dll and msvcp110.dll? Extract to your game folder. Download here: Zippyshare

Or Install latest version of Visual Studio C++ 2012: Here (use x86 version)

Dead Island Riptide

Revisions:

Today I finally got the chance to play this game, and I had a good time trying to get it working online. Actually, I got it working within 5 minutes of installing this game, and with a a little bit of knowledge, you too can get up to speed quickly.

The bottom line is once you get the respective LAN fix or MP fix for use with Steam, you can play Dead Island Riptide LAN Online using Tunngle, or whatever method that you desire.

For the latest text instructions and file links, please go to the Tunngle wiki here.
