One of the features that I really like about D-Fend Reloaded is that you can specify programs to run both before launching the game and after closing it. I use this a lot because I use AutoHotkey scripts to launch (and close) my MT-32 and SC-55 emulators automatically such that it's all done simply …

Greetings Users! I am a first-time poster here on Vogons and I loved D-Fend Reloaded. However, with that being said, it does seem like it has passed the end of its life-cycle and it might be time to move on to new pastures. This morning I decided to put my thinking cap on and start recreating this …

When upgrading FSMP, which files need to be overwritten? Also, can all config files be used with new versions without issue? Only the executable files (exe, dll). But a more perfect solution is that you use the full folder of the new version and overwrite the files with your custom/modified ones if …

I'm aware of a couple options being DOSBox-X and DOSBox Staging but how do they compare in terms of feature set and stability and such? Which one has more active development and …

Hi guys; just looking for some clarification - * ECE no longer has ant's pixel-perfect support, but it can be added? * Does the latest version of DOSBox (0.74-3) have ant's pixel-perfect? * Is r4301 still the latest version of ECE that is the most feature-complete and stable?

This particular version of the game I got from GOG, if that matters (not sure if it's a handicapped version in some way?)

I've been away from the scene for awhile, but I'm aware that ScummVM has recently updated with greater support for Sierra games and etc. What I'm wondering is, what are the considerations to be made when deciding to use DOSBox or ScummVM for any given game? Why might I prefer one over the other?

In games such as Monkey Island, Loom, etc the cursor seem to flash very quickly as compared to when played in ScummVM, wherein the cursor seems to pulse at a much more visually appealing pace and smoothness. Is this potentially due to settings in DOSBox, or just inherent of playing these games in …
