Re: Old CGA monochrome monitor color fidelity

Oh wow, I'm actually really surprised by your answers. I always assumed that it was a CGA adapter, because that's what people always told me it was as a kid, and I had no reason to doubt them. The thing is, though, we actually had a Hercules based computer as well, and that one was quite different …

Old CGA monochrome monitor color fidelity

Hi all, I've got a question for anyone who has a working CGA monochrome monitor setup. I used to have this as a kid, and still have the monitor (but nothing that connects to it), but at the moment I'm unable to test this myself. When I run DOSBox-X with cga_mono as the graphics mode, it looks like …

Re: Windows 3.1 arbitrary resolutions

On real hardware that is probably difficult, as every clock(and it's resulting horizontal pixels) is generated using dividers. And for pretty much all MDA and newer cards, those timings have a base divider of either 9(MDA-compatible) or 8(CGA-compatible, as well as EGA and (S)VGA) pixel clocks, …

Windows 3.1 arbitrary resolutions

Posted on 2021-12-16, 14:39

in PC Emulation
Hi all. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to set arbitrary resolutions in Windows 3.1—for example, 639x479 or 1366x768 or any other uncommon resolution. This is something that works fine on e.g. Windows 98 (on VMware Fusion) or Mac OS 9 on Sheepshaver, but I don't think I've ever seen …

As a big fan of this game I think this is a really awesome project. I'm 10 years late and I'm sorry for necroposting, but I really appreciated this. I was totally expecting the link to be broken after 10 years, but since it wasn't, I decided to make a copy of this file on the Internet Archive - I …

Sorry for being a little too flippant there. That's not cool of me and I shouldn't have said that. It's just a bit of a shock. I'll need to get used to it. It's not bad, it's just...everything is so big now. I liked how neat and compact everything used to be. Nos there's so many frills around …

Re: CF-IDE not working

Posted on 2018-04-22, 13:28

Does this PC recognize normal/mechanical 32GB HDDs? I doubt it. The symptom you're having is typical for a HDD larger than what the BIOS can recognize. Now about fixing it, assuming that's the case: try updating the BIOS or get a smaller CF -of a capacity that you're certain the BIOS does work with …

CF-IDE not working

Posted on 2018-04-21, 15:50

Hi all. I thought it would be a fun idea to install a CF to IDE card in my computer, to see if I could run CompactFlash as my main hard drive. Resilient, easy to backup and quiet. So I installed it, but it doesn't seem to work. When booting up, it detects the 32GB card but then it just freezes . If …

Re: Really old DOS games (early/mid 80s)

Thank you :D This is actually precisely what I was looking for. Gonna check these out. A few of them are already familiar, but I didn't recall the names. I actually had that strip poker game on a floppy! If it's the same one I'm thinking of, as a kid I'd rename the files so that you don't have to go …

Really old DOS games (early/mid 80s)

Posted on 2017-12-09, 17:59

in Milliways
I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips for really old DOS games to play. By the late 80s, DOS game development was starting to get really serious with those awesome LucasArts games that were coming out among other things, but I'm basically totally unaware of what was happening before then, …
