Re: DOS Game Memory Question

Posted on 2024-01-05, 05:09

I don't fully understand. So I looked to your config.sys, you have already a multiple boot configuration. So the problem happens when you boot into the "DOS" section? Minor comment: I don't agree with your config, I would keep the config.sys for Windows 98SE original (as it was after the initial …

autoexec.bat and config.sys are only used for compatibility. Windows doesn't need them at all. I would rename the 2 files and see if windows boots first (it should) Check if games graphics now work. The games you listed are pretty basic and would expect to work within windows as-is Sound may not …

Not with those three games. Is that in the windows environment or under real DOS? What kind of garbled graphics? Can you post a picture? What are your specs, and the content of autoexec.bat and config.sys wouldn't hurt. All in the Windows environment. I've provided 1 picture of the main menu from …

DOS Game Memory Question

Posted on 2024-01-03, 15:01

Hey! Is EMM386 totally incompatible with certain DOS games? On a 98SE machine, I've tried games like Jill of the Jungle, Commander Keen 4, and Wolfenstein 3D all with EMM386 enabled, and they all start up with completely garbled graphics (though they still function).

Well, I had time to test out Extreme Assault with the patches you mentioned: in pure dos, xa.exe works as expected while xa_3dfx.exe hangs on a black screen with no cursor after the text-only initialization. I have yet to test DII. Could it possibly have something to do with Glide not playing well …

As I have a Voodoo3, I also tried some Glide games like Descent and Extreme Assault under pure DOS -and had no luck getting them to run at all. Blinking cursor on any mode for all of them. I'm convinced that it's incompatibility with EMM386, which is needed for the SB16 emulation that makes the …

Audigy 2 ZS in Pure DOS

Posted on 2023-12-27, 19:31

Hello! I'm attempting to use the Audigy 2 ZS DOS drivers found here for my Win98SE system - a Dell Dimension 4100. After testing a few different DOS games: I only had complete success with Duke 3D and Quake, and others like Jill of the Jungle and Commander Keen would run unplayably glitchy and with …

Hello! It's been a while since I last posted (been busy with school), but I have recently been taking a closer look at an old Socket 478 system of mine. It's got an Intel D865GBF with a Pentium 4 2.8GHz, which I did some research for in order to track down some hardware upgrades - and it seems that …

See if adding NOVCPI after NOEMS helps. I'm afraid it didn't:( Extreme Assault still leads to a black screen, but before GTA would at least get to the main menu and let me try to start a game, and then a black screen; this time, the first developer logo splash screen freezes before the animation …

Post the content of autoexec.bat and config.sys. Okay. I've got a start menu setup for Windows, DOS, and DOS with internet at the cost of not having enough memory to do much else lol. The files are a bit long so I've included them as attachments. I also have to apologize for my atrociously long …

QEMM, but I doubt that it will solve the problem you have. Well shoot! As I said in my earlier post, Extreme and GTA function as intended in vanilla DOS, as well as in Windows. I found that Nascar 2 also works after further testing. As this is such an oddly specific issue, it seems that there's no …
