Re: DVI to DP cable

That is a DP to DVI cable. DVI doesn't know anything about DP so you'll need an active adapter like this one: https://www.startech.com/en-us/audio-video-products/dvi2dp2 Be aware of if you need single or dual-link. A HDMI switch may be better since there would be less BS to troubleshoot and you …

Well you are missing the ability to decompress files from the host os and are attempting to run an exe from ms-dos that is not included with dosbox to script a solution from Linux to decompress files within dosbox (an emulator). It would seem easier to me to try to remove as many layers as possible. …

What about the Windows (or ReactOS) expand can it run in Wine and also decompress the MS-DOS files? I've used the Windows 10 one to decompress 9x and NT4. Never tried it with MS-DOS.

It's a driver issue since you are limited to hbr1. It's mentioned in one of the nvidia release notes in a previous thread. Since you are running at 2560 then you'll be limited to 85hz. If you drop the res then you can go higher. The screen will go black or mess up since it's trying to use the higher …

Is there not a decompression utility for Linux that can decompress these files? Anyone tried 7zip? Not able to test at this time.

I'm still unsure if this thread is for hacking a solution to get steam to work or using vanilla OS with vanilla steam. If you want to emulate things like SSE then this may help: Intel® Software Development Emulator Unknown what the minimum OS for that would be. May have to play the version game if …

You should probably verify if the latest version of Steam works on Vista instead of assuming. According to this you have to jump through some hoops so your likely minimum as of today is probably 7 32bit if you want to use the latest steam version. https://msfn.org/board/topic/181799-trying-to-get- …

I would connect the machine to both monitors at the same time with vga being the primary and then troubleshoot from there. What is the native resolution and refresh rate of the TV?

IIRC you don't need to jump through any hoops. 1. Install game. When it errors out about not being able to contact the website do not cancel the install. 2. Go to the directory where bioshock is installed. 3. Copy the bioshock folder to another folder 4. Cancel the install. 5. Extract the contents …

144hz should work fine with displayport at a max of 1080p on XP. If you want scaling then use the 355.98 or older drivers. If not then use the latest. Some games will try to use the max refresh rate of your monitor so use RefreshLock or similar or switch to a SD/HD resolution which limits the max …

I gave you notice before and for good reason. Would you like it if someone else mentioned constantly their perceived issues with Qemu ad nauseum?

If it's from Bethesda then you are good. To verify it's not a dosbox turbo issue try it in the regular version of dosbox. If you have the same error in both then likely you are doing something wrong.

You could always reach out to Michal Necasek and/or bearwindows. Michael based his miniport NT3.1 to Windows 7 driver based off the framebuf in the NT DDK. Bearwindows did the same for both 9x and NT on the DDK as well. You would probably be better off with Open Watcom for both. Since you would only …

DOSBox turbo isn't supported here. So ask whomever coded it for support and if you acquired Daggerfall illegally then ask whever you got it from for support. For error 0 make sure you are mounting your folders correctly, installing daggerfall correctly and relaunching DOSBox with the same paths as …
