Re: DOS & modern graphic cards

in DOS
Hi, I was wondering if some version of DOS could use the capacity of modern graphic cards (like ATI) 100% if a game designed for DOS needed it. Frankly, I'm not sure what hajime actually means, because if he's talking about 3D acceleration, the answer is quite obvious: the only DOS games ever …

Hey, thanks Wolverine. You are a very nice dude. Yeah, you are right, it is not something bad to ask newbie questions, cuz this might help other newbies who read the thread. But it's OK for me. I think QBix is also right. I don't want you guys to think I was offended or something. Everything is OK, …

Oh...So if I were an expert programmer (which as you see I am not), would it be possible to improve DOS by adding that Glide Wrapper...and anything else? (I mean, similar drivers to Direct X, etc...) Or is it also possible (in theory) to make JUST ONE certain game I design to work with my PC, which …

Oooh, I see. That's so cool...So I would just need to execute the .exe file, right? And, do you know (for curiosity) why install isn't necessary? By the way, I just read that another way of installing some programs is through Autoexec.bat. Could you tell me briefly how that needs to be done in …

Hi mates. I have Linux , and have downloaded Free DOS , in order to install it in other partition.

@hajime: Is it true that there are spelling reforms every few years in Spain? Mhhmhmhmhm...Even that I have lived here for so long, I can't answer since I don't know for sure, but I have seen teachers who teach British English, and some others (not too many, I think) who prefer American... But what …

Colours in FreeDOS

Hello! Some months ago I read from a nice dude a tutorial for DRDOS (but now can't find the webpage again :depressed: ), and he spoke,among many things, about how to change the typical 'black background and white letters' to other combinations of colours... Is that also possible in FreeDOS? Could …

Hi mates, first of all, I want to say that I have read some 'faqs' and 'readme' files, but still don't understand how to install FreeDOS... Otherwise I wouldn't bother you guys with my newbie questions. Well, now onto the question: I want to install FreeDOS in a partition, and now have "fdfullws" ( …

Oh I see. So, then, changing the number of RAM configured in that archive, it should work, perhaps?? 😖 Oh sorry, another question: CD support is allowed since the beginning, in FreeDOS, right? Thanks a lot

Oh, I see. Sorry, right now I can't search...in 5 minutes I have to leave for class 😀 But, could you tell me if to obtain those Himem.sys is it necessary to grab them from some Windows version, or on the internet are they "legally" downloadable? See u dude!
