I found a video on Youtube showing how to install a driver using one of the methods I tried before, but it's still not working for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cnTc9mMnpA It seems he only adds two of the three files copied to the C: drive to CONFIG.SYS, and they seem to load on my machine, …

Have you tried this? http://bretjohnson.us/ Yes actually, one of his utilities revealed that my USB controller is UHCI, which doesn't seem to be compatible. You sure of that? because the documentation actually states that UHCI (made by intel and VIA) is the *only"compatible controller so far. Mine …

Wow, that's quite a mess. But anyway: 1. add "HIGHSCAN I=B000-B7FF" after the "RAM" parameter of EMM386 2. remove all "DOS=" lines and just add "DOS=HIGH,UMB" once 3. remove SMARTDRV.EXE 4. use CuteMouse instead of that MOUSE.EXE This should give you about 50-60 kb more conventional memory. Also, …

I'm looking for a way to use a flash stick as a hard drive. I've tried a few drivers (not including that expensive payware one) but the closest I've gotten to success is my USB stick showing up as a network drive. Does anyone have a method that works on their machine? There seems to be several …

I own the DreamBlaster S1, S2, and X2. They are all very nice and the S2 is also very cheap. It depends, however, what you are aiming for. For DOS games, it's best to get a Roland SC-55 instead. I aim to play DOS games on native hardware instead of DOSBox, but I don't have much room for external …

Then edit the batch file of the tool and add "LH" there for the .com or .exe it loads. However, It's most likely too big anyway, as high memory is limited and you have probably some stuff sitting there already. Why not post your config.sys, autoexec.bat, and the output of "mem /c /p" here? Much …

It claims to be a Televideo WaveImpact Q32, but I'm not finding any data online aside from pictures. That's a "Q-DSP"-based wavetable with 512 KB sample ROM and no support for effects. Cheapest wavetable you can get. Still better than not having a wavetable at all, but if you want to enjoy games …

I'll try loading it in autoexec.bat tomorrow, too sleepy tonight. Turns out I can't load the translator high because it is also a batch file. If it helps, the translator is called SNESKey. I'm not seeing any documentation that addresses memory issues.

You should be able to load your 'translation program' high. Maybe try QEMM or another 3rd party memory manager. I doubt you want to load the game high, some games have their own protected mode extenders which give them access to all the available memory. That sounds like it would work, but how do I …

I apologize if this has been asked before. I'm trying to run a game in addition to a program that translates a gamepad to keyboard inputs. The game works fine on its own, but running them together gives me an "Out of memory" error. Is there a way to make them run in high memory to avoid this issue? …

None of my games have those options, is there another program I can download that can test it?

I've installed a Sound Blaster 16 in my machine and it's sounding really good, but it came with a generic Wave Blaster add-on card and I'm not sure any of my games support it. It claims to be a Televideo WaveImpact Q32, but I'm not finding any data online aside from pictures. Are there any programs …

There is no perfect sound card. It's what makes dos gaming so fun! Generally if you can use midi, it will sound best. Followed by genuine opl3. Digital sound is for effects and maybe cd music playback. You sound like you are about to go down a rabbit hole...I would start getting familiar with using …

I've read that DOSBox emulates a Sound Blaster 16, and my games sound really good in there. But when I try the games on real hardware they don't sound as good. (Usually like some audio 'tracks' or 'layers' aren't playing) Probably because I don't know what features to look for. I'm not entirely sure …

I want to switch from emulating DOS to using real hardware, but the sound has always been inferior to DOSBox with the sound cards I've tried in the past. I recently found a CT2920 (Sound Blaster 16 PnP) with something called a WaveImpact Q32 on the Wave Blaster header. Might that combo be worth …
