Lan parties with CRT's? Imagine everyone wore back braces lugging those things! If any of you have a LCD that does 1600 x 1200 please list model/make so I can shop around, thanks!

Got no runtime errors & seemed like it ran ok but it did not remove the copyright, Sierra games are tough! To be clear, did you try entering a blank answer in response to the question? If Neverlock didn't work, there has surely got to be some kind of fix out there somewhere, or at least a manual …

My acer lcd when playing a dos game is set at 720 x 400. The controls don't appear to be able to change this. Kolderman - what model is that HP you got?

Booting into DOS via Win98SE (not dos window) dos games are being stretched out to fit my 19" LCD resulting in a lot of "jaggy pixels". Is there a way to smooth things out even a little? Is Univeb applicable here? I checked my Acer LCD's controls for something that might help, but didn't notice …

Well for the record I ended up switching over to my XP rig and used dosbox to run the neverlock program. Got no runtime errors & seemed like it ran ok but it did not remove the copyright, Sierra games are tough! Wish I hadn't lost the manual, it's no where to be found on ebay sold by itself. The …

Thanks all for the ideas. I'm using paper right now, never thought to use cardboard.
Mouse pad for laser mouse
Posted on 2020-02-14, 15:06
I know big decision here, but my retro setup is on a fold up table with a surface that makes the mouse "twitchy". A trip to Walmart showed various brands steelseries, corair, etc. for least 12 bucks. Any recommendations here that might be cheaper?

Why don't you just patch it using DOSBox and copy the patched version back to your P3? Runtime-error 202 is actually a stack overflow and could be due to a wrong or missing stacks statement in your config.sys. Didn't think the config.sys would be the issue but I am using special PIF setup for the …

The common fix for Runtime 200 errors is to patch the executable. There are many patchers available for this since it's just a matter of replacing one particular hex string with a different hex string. (XVI32 includes a macro for it.) ...Of course, Runtime 202 might be a completely different thing …

Ok, let me get this out of the way. Yes I bought the game just want to "nuke" the nagging questions like "what year did jerry rice score the winning td on page xxx" before playing the game. That said if this out of line delete the post my feelings won't be hurt. The game is FBpro95 which I'm playing …

No one can say for sure since no one knows what your signal quality is and the providers lie. Best bet is to try it and see. Once you've established that it works well or not for you then you need to worry about data caps. If you have an "unlimited data plan" it's usually only unlimited on the …

I live out in the "boonies" so my internet options are nil outside of radiowave/satellite providers which you end up paying a premium for not much in return. Would using my phone for tethering or as a hotspot be sufficient as far as getting windows updates and using Steam? Usually get 4G speeds, …

Just got The Witcher Enhanced edition from GOG and struggling with the controls, but I 'll get there. The cut scenes are cool as well as the story. Playing it on my i3 setup no problem, gonna have to upgrade though if I want the latest Witcher game.
