If that's what you call chilled, I'd hate to see your definition of pissy. You really do tend to fly off the handle quite easily, and it makes a lot of your posts...painful to read at best, and detrimental to the atmosphere of the forum at worst. So you don't like newbies? We get it. Noone cares. …

suggestion A "Suggestion" that you want everything easier. Lifes a bitch, get over it, doesn't mean you can't make DOSbox less so Dosbox, emulates DOS. This isn't MAME. Or click and play emulator X. I've been using PC's since the old 8088 and Apple II. I recall fondly fighting with Ultima …

Does anybody ever stop moaning on this forum ? Dos, was NEVER, EVER, EVER, meant to be simple. It was THE most tedious, horrible OS ever to grace a PC. If you think it's hard now, then you should have owned a PC in the early 90's. Buying a game, then trying to squeeze an extra couple of kilobytes …

Ah come on how old are you? 12, 13? At least that would make him 3 years older than you. If your baker provides you bad tasting bread what would you tell him if he says "Then do it by yourself". Think about it. What a crap analogy. Never heard of bread makers ? Wonderful, consumer priced devices …

DOSBox seems to be a very slow program, if that kind of emulation takes so much CPU power, it is nothing more than extremly bad coded. Don't use it then. You CLEARLY haven't a single clue as to just what Dosbox actually is.

Deleting them shouldn't hurt, but I would export them first. Just highlight the main key on the left side of the window, NOT the actual a:\ entry, goto to File, then Export, Make sure "Selected Branch", is ticked at the bottom, and give it a name and save it somewhere. Do the same for any other …

Here's a couple of my faves. If you install a new video driver while using large fonts, reboot as usual, now you are back in XP with small fonts. Goto your display properties to change back to Large Fonts, only now, the menu says you are still using large fonts, despite the fact that you have small …

CraiG, you can download Direct3D Pixel Shaders in Add-on section on my page. Extract 'direct3d-pixelshader.zip' into dosbox folder. It works fine for me Thanks for that. I overwrote the ones in my Dosbox directory with yours, and they now work. Thanks. 😀

That joystick driver worked a treat, thanks. Just out of curiosity, are pixel shaders disabled in these builds ? They work well under gulikoza's d3d builds, but I've not got them working under ykhwong's builds. I just wouldn't mind seeing Bilinear filtering on Win 3.11, or a scale filter, but they …

Keyboard now works, and I can now play games like Loderunner for Windows, and the superb Journeyman, all work well. I still can't believe how good Journeyman still looks, and sounds.

Just to add my 2 cents. Firstly, even with simple emulators of old fixed platforms, you BOTH require exactly the same ROM, the same emulator version, and the same settings. Otherwise, you end up with lag, and even worse, synchronisation problems. Take the Amiga emulator WinUAE, for example. I used …
