But ok back to original question, Dos runned quite when on FAT32, why is Dosbox only FAT16 and how can say, how much work would be add FAT32 support? When you emulate a full machine, you are emulating the raw hard drive geometry. This means emulating LBA. DOS/Win95B needs to actually be able to do …

VirtualBox's guest additions (required to use the additional virtualization features) only work for XP at the least IIRC. You'll be stuck in VGA for Win9x with no acceleration whatsoever, and on top of that, activating virtualization for the CPU will just GPF it to hell. There's also the unsaid …

The first thung to do is make sure you have libpng devel packages/source available and that configure finds it. The screenshots, and wav and midi capture all work. It's just the video capture that doesn't. I'll probably grab the sources for a much earlier vanilla build and see if it happens there, …

This isn't wise, because 320x200 requires at least an 8x stretch to not lose data, which puts it over the size of current 1080p HD monitors, and requires a significant amount of processing power (and disk i/o.) What you want is to keep SAR at 8:5 but set the DAR to 4:3 and hope whatever software …

Which was my point, because the RTZ CD-ROM (non-MPEG) version off GOG is setup to use the MT32+Redbook audio, which is not the correct configuration with the stock Dosbox. Are you saying that GOG is distributing that version with the MT32 ROMs? No it's shipping a stock DOSBOX with the game …

DOSBOX's default settings emulate a 486 at 33Mhz Where did you get that idea? Because that is what is reported by benchmark tools. A 486 at 33Mhz with no L2 cache. and thus it's difficult or impossible to get the original retail disk to work with dosbox. I don't know where you got that idea either. …

Never mind any other part in the system …

I'm looking for something that assumes little to no knowledge on the part of the user which details Dosbox settings for each game. Don't ask here then. People who know how to setup DOSBOX, likely own or used to own original 8088/80286/80386 hardware and know exactly what games of those era ran on. …

Trio 64 is better suited to Pentium I machines. For Pentium II I honestly don't know, maybe something from nVidia? I'm not the right person to ask.. For a PIII 450+ MHz I always recommend 3DFX Voodoo 3, but that's just my personal preference. It would certainly work for your machine, but I think it …

With the new contorller and the old hard drive, the error remains, however with the new hard drive (after setting the heads, cyls, etc.) it says "C: drive failure" instead of "HDD Controller failure". Still, the final result remains the same, which is that neither drive works. Even trying low level …

I've seen this marketing speak in other literature - they just add up the 2 numbers and call it 64 polyphony. IIRC, there was a command switch to choose either MIDI playback source, EMU8K or DB/ external, so they don't play simultaneously. They seem to use the word "combination" just to add the …
