As a heads-up to anyone watching this thread, progress has at last been made on the Talking Parrot program by an awesome Dosboxer by the name of ripsaw8080. Go here for further info: Re: "Talking Parrot" program - help?

Based on the version of the program here , I hacked the driver file to make the program think it's hearing nothing. It won't respond to sound, but the parrot will randomly say things, and you can press keys to make it talk. :exclamation: Ten thousand thank-yous, ripsaw8080! The hack works perfectly …

PCSX2 works great for me, although like any 2nd-generation console emulator it's far from perfect.

After a night of family fun in which somebody reminisced about goofing around on an ancient PC with the aforementioned program, I actually managed to find someone's archived version of the soundblaster disks with the files for the Parrot program. Machine is set to EGA, soundcard type to soundblaster …

Ran into a snag while running Rayman on XP SP3 with Dosbox 0.73: The "auto" speed feature does not work very well. When the player character (Rayman) stops moving, everything else moves at hyperspeed. Manually setting the cycles fixes this - however - the cycles must be adjusted in-game for at least …

Upgraded to Dosbox 0.73 on my Ubuntu Jaunt distro and have a problem. The sound will seemingly 'flicker' - play for a second or two at correct speed then play at higher speed resulting in a constant stuttery chipmunk-on-helium effect. Effect is present in all games. Any suggestions on WTF is wrong …

Hey, I've got a question about capturing raw OPL data... :s-face: I have managed to get a bunch of OPL captured from music from some of my favorite old games. Now what do I do? My Voyetra program can't open the file and neither can anything else I have. What program would I use to manipulate the …

Doh! After 15 years of computer experience I should have figured out the command line thing...guess I was so lustered I couldn't think. (later) I did try that, and all the cheats work reliably except the 'warp to level' one - that usually locks up the game. Oh well!

Ok. Point taken. Sorry for being off-topic, but it just made me shake my head and say, "people! -think- for a minute here..."

Yuck...This is typical Bill Gates crud. I'll bet you the next DosBox update he swiped at least part of that from KDE or Mac Os, maybe -both-. Who knows? Maybe a little money here, a few spies there, and a little threatening just in case... I'm with Snover on sticking with the 'Classic Windows' look. …

Umm...I've got ScummVM running BASS and it worked fine start to finish on everything. Wierd. Oh, BTW: is there anywhere I can download the 'comic book' that came with the game? I once saw a digital scan of it but forgot to write down the site. (Stupid me!) Oh, has anyone gotten the music off of the …

I'd have to agree with Taiken7...although I would really like a faster Dosbox for my 400 mhz, 256 megs of RAM, windows 98SE computer, I shouldn't be selfish. See, dosbox was designed with modern, 2.5 gigahertz and above, 1 gigabyte or more of memory XP machines in mind, and some people including …

Here, here, tolworthy! Let's hear it for the people who have given us XP-tired users a key to unlock the wonderful classic games of old! Now don't get me wrong, I get excited when I see some new games with graphics that can hardly be distinguished from the real world ...but...there is still …

Wether it gets easier or more efficent, it's a HUGE security nightmare. Think about it - no one system can see everything, so how can you expect to catch all the viruses? Duh! Of course that's not going to stop people from using it - virtualization saves time, effort, how many computers you need--- …

Hello there all you dosboxers. I am in dire need of help for a game from the now-defunct company ADDIX called 'Wrath of Earth' or WOE for short. Following is a description of the level I'm stuck on. The previous levels were, in order; 1.Your drop ship is hit by a missile - you eject at the last …

Thanx, everyone...I really needed some help. Yeah I know a 400 mhz PC isn't very good for this, but like they say - 'it ain't much, but it's all we've got'. Although; which 'output' would be best on my current PC (surface, ddraw, etc)? I've got directx 7 at least, probably 8, for whatever that info …

I'm running Dosbox on a 400Mhz pc with 236 megs of RAM...Awhile ago I got the game from a swap meet and ran it on my laptop. It worked at the DOS prompt (hit F8, command prompt only) as long as I disabled EMS memory in config.sys like so: DEVICE=c:\emm386 noems For some reason my CTX laptop's ESS …
