Wow that's great, it seems appropriate for such collections to wind up with universities and the like rather than in private hands. That way we also get a copy preserved for posterity that has never even been touched or damaged. I recently discovered a port of ultima III onto the gameboy advance …

Yeah, I haven't looked it up yet, but it is a good sign to hear it from the artist himself, he said this a couple of weeks ago, and if it were no longer in production, he would be be one of the first to know, so you could consider this thread as an update on the project from the man himself, …

thanks franpa thats exactly what I wanted to know, I thought that a 0.73 version would be released at the same time as the new dosbox, and was surprised when ykhwong didn't have one on his site. There are some improvements in the new version i've noticed already like being able to run Legends of …

you forgot a fairly important one, I always thought the sega master system version of Ultima IV was the best, the graphics are really crisp and well drawn with realistic colour, the sound is nice and the music is melodic. Even today with the fan made additions for Ultima IV I still prefer this one …

I was lucky enough to meet dave gibbons in Sydney a few weeks ago, and get him to sign a few watchmeny things (including a not for retail watchmen picture disc) and while telling him how much I had enjoyed his artwork over the years, I mentioned that i really liked beneath a steel sky, and he told …

Maybe start with something simple? Like reading and understanding the sub-forum topic? Windows Getting old Windows games working. um no offence but "getting old games working" offers a pretty broad spectrum of subject matter, and running this program has helped me to get many old games working.

hey thanks for the responses i'll check that link. I really like that package and i'm hoping someone makes one just like it for 0.73, it's so easy to use, i tried the dbgl one, but i don't really like it as much, doesn't anyone else like it like it enough to upgrade it to 0.73? I thought about about …

Im trying to run the crow city of angels on vista 32, and i'm not seeing much on google, searching this site gets no hits either, anyone know if it will run? and how? P.S dosfreak, I read something about you compiling a massive list of all the games you could and could not run on vista, is it …

Umm, I came across this great little program a couple of years ago (or whatever the date was before some expert corrects me) and I have been using it ever since instead of using dosbox by itself, because I very much like being able to edit the config files with a drop down menu that feels similar to …

Hey by the way if "dosbox author" means that you actually built it, or co-built it you're doing a nice job, and thanks for your efforts.

thanks again, I'm going to try some of the advice you've all given, but none of you quite answered what I was asking, I know dosbox is more powerful and that it runs many more games, what I'm asking is can it run all of the games that VDMS can run, are there any games that must be run with VDMS and …

Thanks both, for the advice, Deus ex IW runs okay in vista, it just needed UAC to be removed for some bizarre reason, but it does still crash occasionally, um, most pertinent question - it seemed to me a couple of years ago when I was last able to use VDMS that some games would only work with it, …

Thanks el pusher, for moving this somewhere appropriate I did mean sound, keropi, based on what you are saying will Dosfreak's instructions to install graphics card drivers for XP work in allowing vdms and plain dos programs to run? I have an ATI mobility Radeon HD 3470. Based on my understanding of …

thanks, i'll look into some XP drivers for vista, but dosbox.72 is running fine, that's why I don't quite understand entirely why VDMS doesn't run in fullscreen. I will look into the dosbox instructions to find out about running loadfix, and also, I get no response at all when I hit ctrl f10 for the …
