Re: UK University Making Universal Game Emulator

in Milliways
Hey Ratfink, I'll bet if you wrote a really good request for a grant based on this, some university would fund it and you could do a PHD dissertation and publish some books. I have a friend who is a real computer engineer who thinks along those same lines. He blows my mind about "virtural" economies …

Re: DOSBOX on Linux using ASUS eee pc

WOW! I didn't realize what a flame war that a version of DOSBOX would produce! When it comes to software, I'm not as concerned wither it is the "official" distro or who did it, but if it WORKS!

However, I had a friend who told me about Ultima Underworld - how it was totaly 3d and stuff. So, I went to egghead software …

Re: DOSBOX on Linux using ASUS eee pc

Thanks dude!!! Yes I was sill thinking like dos. I got the game to start! However, it is super slow. Its like a slide show. What should I do? I'm going to fool arround with the settings on DOSBOX. I once bought an ISA soundcard to install in my old Packard Bell desktop just to play Ultima 7. But …

DOSBOX on Linux using ASUS eee pc

Hello World! I've been using DOSBOX on my windoze pc. I recently bought an Asus eee pc that runs Linux. I installed DOSBOX with no problem (other than learning how to use linux). I copied a few old programs and games and they seem to work fine (duke nukem 2, 3by5, an old dos database program). I …
