After fighting with all sorts of partition resize tools and re-imaging my Win98 install (I was smart and made backups using Win32DiskImager) I finally found a way to resize the partition without any corruption! I used an old version of gparted and it just worked! No need for "fdisk /mbr" or "sys …

Should I retain my AudioPCI, or should I remove it prior to installing the ISA SB16?

I've been having trouble with my Creative AudioPCI, as it has no OPL sound capability: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=26252 Does anyone have previous experience building a DOS + Win98 (or 95) machine that allowed both eras of games to be played? Or am I just better off getting separate …

I thought ME lost the DOS subsystem. How does DOOM work at all? I just double click the executable. ME has the ability to run DOS applications in-OS as well as boot into DOS once you re-enable the real DOS boot option: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/real_dos_mode_patch_for_me.html I have …

You need a different sound card. If you're lucky your motherboard has an ISA slot, and you can just put in a good old Sound Blaster 16. I forgot to add, it actually has 2! So what would I be looking for? Once I buy it, what should I do with the old one? Will I need to install the drivers for it in …

I nabbed an old Gateway from 1999 from a dump and was surprised to see it's perfect. It runs everything very well, but I'm having a very hard time getting that adlib-style music to play (for example, the music from Ultima 6 intro). I KNOW it works, because I have the shareware version of DOOM …

Are there ways to get DOSBox itself to scale this way, though? Manufacturer driver hacks don't help me as much as native support would, because some of my machines I would like to get scaling on don't even use x86 😜

Would anyone be able to provide any information on hwscale? What renderers (output) does it work with? Why is it not in the Wiki? Does it take an int or a float?

I've tried "stretching" the image as well. To be honest, when you stretch an image that small up to the edges of a 4k monitor, it's so horrible and blurry that you actually have to be sitting back on the couch just to endure the "vaseline effect". I can't believe that an emulator that has been …

Yes, I know how to use the .conf file to set scaling higher. I've been trying to use the "normal3x" scaler and it just doesn't cut it. It's setting me to a little 960x600 window in the middle of the screen. On a 4K monitor, this is barely even legible. I've been hurting my eyes and getting headaches …
