>>Greetings,
>>    Just wanted to post a note if any of ya'll are interested... I've
>>started an open source project on SourceForge.net to create a suite of
>>utilities to make modern Win32 games more accessible.  Currently
>>trying to figure out a good way to do external captioning with Reid,
>>and I have a few other utility projects going at the moment.
>>
>>I've finished my first prototype utility using the common libraries
>>I'm building up.  It is called GASThrottle, and should allow you to
>>slow down many modern games on Windows to 10%-90% speed.  I've tested
>>it with Doom 3 and Far Cry with great success, and others with mixed
>>results - e.g. it crashes BioShock ;( .  When I looked, I didn't find
>>much out there that did this for modern games that worked, although I
>>found a few that didn't and some that work *great* for old DOS games.
>>
>>If there is already a free utility out there that does this well,
>>please tell me :)
>>Right now it's just a command line app, but if it looks useful to
>>people I'll eventually make it all nice and pretty.
>>
>>Anyway, if anyone has ideas/suggestions on this or other utilities to
>>add to the suite, please email me or post in the project's
>>forums/tracker.
