Re: Overscan border patch

in DOSBox Patches
Hello and forgive me for revamping this old thread. I am a FastTracker II enthusiast and this program finally runs smoothly in DOSBox at full speed. There's only one problem: when you toggle the "edit mode" on and off by pressing , FastTracker II changes the border's color and there's no other way …

Re: Just tried VirtualBox

I will certainly try Virtual PC. Today I've been reading a lot about all those virtualization programs and I agree with you that it probably best suits my needs. I had a look at your config/autoexec. It's amazing how flexible they are and how much free conventional memory you got! Back in the day I …

Re: Just tried VirtualBox

was the speech in the intro to "The Big Red Adventure" played properly too? Yes, it was. And if it was ok, have you used the D parameter in your config.sys: DEVICE=c:\dos\emm386.exe D=64 The games' setup program itself changed my config.sys; IIRC it put such a line in it, so the answer is yes. …

Just tried VirtualBox

in PC Emulation
Since I had nothing better to do, I installed VirtualBox and set up a DOS 6.22 installation to try some games. When I was still installing DOS, I realized that this virtualization program is aimed at newer OS's, because it has a problem with MDA text mode. Sometimes it doesn't do newlines, so every …

Re: Strange graphic flicker in DosBox

Tried changing CPU core and cycles but it didn't help. I also tried every "machine type" setting. At last I solved the problem in Operation Stealth by setting MCGA instead of VGA in the game setup. This information might be useful for those who want to play the game in DosBox. King's Quest VI …

Re: Strange graphic flicker in DosBox

:sweatdrop: I can't find a suitable way to explain what happens! Anyway, I'm using Windows XP 32 bit on an Athlon 64 X2. My video board is an integrated nVIDIA GeForce 6150SE. This happens with both DosBox 0.72 and 0.73. Imagine a piece of graphics that has to change: it doesn't do so at once, but …

Re: Name of a program to allow old games to run in NTVDM

in DOS
I was able to run Azrael's Tear with it, although it would be either too fast or too slow. I remember that the author posted various versions of it. I really can't remember when, though. Another thing that comes to my mind is a custom mouse pointer that would tell you what to press to untrap the …

Name of a program to allow old games to run in NTVDM

in DOS
Hello. Long ago I found a little program that would allow old DOS games to run in Win XP, getting rid of the error that says "NTVDM has encountered an illegal instruction". It could work in conjunction with VDMSOUND and allowed me to run DOS games in a freely resizeable window. It was released on …
