Ahh, that was exactly the issue. I'd forgotten to remove compatibility mode when I added the wrapper. It isn't necessary with the wrapper. Thanks!

Might and Magic 7 with 2.44 and WIP9: The dgVoodoo watermark is always visible. Otherwise seems to work great--it corrects the common problem of the screen continually flashing white in D3D mode.

30% overclocking. How in good old times, if it's on air, without decap and is stable in Linx. Thank you. Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous but it's stable with linpack (via OCCT) on air at that clock. Individual 5820Ks typically range from 4.4-4.6 for max overclock. Honestly, when I saw the heat …

Cool idea. Intel Core i7-5820K @ 4.6 GHz (Win7 x64): 62, 70, 62 / 204, 208, 191 I knew I built this rig for some reason, and I've finally found it 😜

I was just trying to play Wizards and Warriors for the first time on this rig. Looks like the only way to play it with a recent nvidia card (with recent drivers), even having tried modified exes, is with dgVoodoo 2 which fortunately works flawlessly from my limited testing.

It seems like these new card types cover the advanced options that would have been available, at least in the short-term, but I'll say this as someone else probably would have eventually: I don't think the sort of people who are interested in playing an old game like Incoming are necessarily " …

Then I suppose not 😜

I've been trying (for a while now) to force resolutions for Starcraft using dgVoodoo 2. The wrapper seems to work -- the watermark displays, and window mode works pretty well -- but I can't seem to force the fullscreen mode beyond 800x600. An ideal workaround would be a borderless maximized window …

Bad news: this game tries to initialize DDraw from DllMain... :dead: (3DMark does the same) which is not supported by dgVoodoo because DX11 refuses to initialize in such circumstances. It's a (really) bad programming technique and currently I have no idea how to workaround this case. I think it …

What does it mean when a game's configuration utility fails to enumerate devices when dgVoodoo 2's DDraw and D3DImm dlls are present in the directory of the game's binaries? The game I'm struggling with is Soulbringer. Of all the DirectDraw games I've tested that Windows 8(.1)'s broken flip behavior …

The SDL FAQ on the wiki is currently down, but I checked an archived version: http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20080628191220/http://docs.mandragor.org/files/Common_libs_documentation/SDL/FAQ_en/FAQ-Using_SDL.html This unfortunately isn't useful for a Vista/Win7 user due to the way it maps to audio …

I could see SDL environment variables being a solution for Linux users of DOSBox, but is there a way to specify the audio device (other than MIDI devices) within DOSBox for Windows?

I can encode on the fly with DTS Connect or Dolby Digital Live, I was just wondering if there's a way to select an audio device within DOSBox other than the default Windows audio device. This probably isn't possible at the moment as I don't think DOSBox enumerates non-MIDI devices. Thanks though.

I have Windows 7 with an Auzentech X-Fi soundcard. I have the option in the Windows Sound control panel of selecting a default audio device, and in order to use DTS Connect (useful for real-time discrete audio via SPDIF for 3d games), I have to select the analog speaker device, despite my using a …

Wow, must have been the Securom. I uninstalled a Securom game the other day, the same day I magically regained control. I didn't think twice about it but it appears Securom was the problem... How annoying. Thanks for putting my curiousity to rest.

No go, can't even delete in safemode 🙁 After backing up in a few weeks I'm going to format, but I'm afraid the problem will come back as I'll be transferring over the same files.

Oh my God, all of a sudden I can't modify or delete DOS exes on either of my computers on the network. I've virus scanned, nothing found. Everytime I try to rename or delete ANY DOS app ANYWHERE on the hdds, I get "in use by another process or user". I really want to play Tomb Raider but I can't …
