Re: Good Games up to 1989 that run best on DOS

There are dos games from the 80's better than the Amiga version, trouble is finding them. Don't forget more Dos games were released in the 80's than the Amiga, or any other platform bar the C64. Games that I preferred vs Amiga and played on my 8mhz 286 with 8bit VGA ISA card: A-10 Tank Killer - …

In 2000, I have bought A901HT iiyama 19" CRT with 1600x1200x92hz and geforce 256. I have used on win98 with 1600x1200 resolution on some games like NFS 4 for example. All depends the games. The advantage of CRT was that 320x200 or 1600x1200 were good on a CRT even at 19". It's not true with lcd or …

6.5.1, according to the QT player "about" menu. (2004) Btw, no need for GDI hooking, as QT uses DDraw to render the video. At least the version I have. The bug wasn't tightly QT-related anyway. I also didn't experience lagginess or sg. Without gdi hooking, video is not displayed on my PC.

is possible to have a cpu emulation using multi threads in the future for pcem ou x86box or other fork ? Take this into consideration; there is no console emulator out there that multi-threads the emulation of a single core CPU. That should tell you something. It's not a PCem or 86Box issue to be …

I did mention that guest CPU emulation is single core dependent, however if you don't have enough cores or set the affinity too low (and enable, say, voodoo), the emulation speed would still drop because now multiple threads are processed by those few cores and they can't handle that. You need both …

The game has an weird issue where the game textures become blurred after starting a race. I attached the log: I also noticed forcing point sampled fixes the blurred texture, but the game no longer is the same. It works correctly in PCem though. I also had to hook DxWnd windowed mode to it. Natively …

Honestly, I find running real DOS on modern computers to be a complete waste of time and would rather use emulators on those. Hardware support isn't adequate even with the SBEMU TSR for Sound Blaster emulation. But, more people should care about running DOS games bare metal. That's why the SBEMU …

It was needed to make the game run better on slow CPUs back in the day. It's mostly 2D sprites. …
