@ xinside: Regarding Another World, what's the version of DOSBox and the OS you have? Also, I'll try testing it when I get at home and report back...

Regarding the 1st question , originally Blackthorne does NOT support joystick/gamepad support. However there used to be (can't verify now, I'm at work) a patch in http://www.patches-scrolls.de/ (a simple *.EXE file to replace the original) that would allow support for gravis gamepad (4 button …

Your help is most welcome, Zebius! :cool: But I'm still wondering if there's any purpose other than "for your pure listening pleasure only" to that soundtrack... Maybe if other folks also inquired Blizzard support about this they would reply faster, as there isn't much available information about it …

@ abyss: This isn't a thread about what game is the rarest... There are many games in that category, and by far more rare than Super League Pro Rugby. :wink: I wanted to share this with my fellow DOS gamers, 'cause besides being a game that spawns a smile in many people's faces (the video will make …

That would be great, KAN! 😀 If you happen to have the chance to test it on a real DOS machine, we could then be (almost?) sure that it's not a DOSBox CD emulation issue. From my side, all I can do is hope (eventually) that an answer from the Blizzard folks can clarify this.

Still having that same doubt, franpa. But due to the lack of a proper database (like Mobygames) that lists the differences between DOS (and other operating systems) games (floppy/CD versions...), I'm really determined to find out what was the purpose of this soundtrack. Just received an automated …
Re: Warcraft Orcs & Humans CD version question

I guess the best way to verify that would be testing a Warcraft 1 CD with the audio tracks in a real DOS machine and try that out... Could even use my own CD (by making an image and adding some audio tracks manually :happy: ), but I no longer have a real DOS machine. :oops: Any further ideas about …

Thanks for that info, KAN! :cool: So it's actually true... I only wonder, if the audio tracks exist (at least in some of the CD versions), what was their purpose other than being used while playing the game? Is there any hint on your box, manual, panflet or readme, that might explain as to why the …

Just found a game music database with some very intriguing information ... It says there's 2 digital audio soundtrack versions and 1 MIDI :surprised: Does anyone have any of the other 2 soundtracks? I wonder why my original CD doesn't feature DA soundtrack and instead has only MIDI? Was it some sort …

Hi butterfly! Wireless networking can be tricky to set up sometimes, so one must try to understand the it's basic principles. Make sure of the following: - Your SSID is the same on the PC and wireless router. - The encryption type must also be the same (WEP or WPA, the 2nd is more secure) on both …

Yes, it only has MIDI music in the game menus. Only during a match there's no music being played, as you already have the comments/speech... The YouTube video is a valid reference, as it captured all sound/video outputs perfectly (despite YouTube screwing the quality of the original video while …
Re: Why does Warcraft 2 not work under DOSBox without the CD as opposed to XP?
Posted on 2007-09-14, 08:35
Don't you need the CD anyway for the CD Audio? If your playing Warcraft 2 without the CD Audio then you should be drug out back and shot. Seriously. * helps DosFreak dragging marzsyndrome out the back * :happyhappy: . Quality games like Warcraft 2 should always be played with their full features. …

That's probably true, avatar_58! However, as technology leaps forward, the hardware/software requirements also keep climbing up the hill to ridiculous new levels... And for instance, in your case you still have slight drops, so there's still room for improvement, and the industry will follow that …

(Updated and rectified information) In this case, the CD has no audio tracks at all, and the whole thing is about 90 MB large. Since the install on the HD is circa 30MB (more or less), it's necessary to have the original CD or an image of it. I tested both. With all my original CD versions, I …

Re: How to compress ZMBV movies?
Posted on 2007-09-12, 09:11
Youtube has the 10 minutes and 100MB limitation (per video). Google has that same limitation if you use the Web-Based Uploader. For larger files, one can use the Desktop Uploader. I can also confirm that the movies captured by DOSBox (ZMBV) are accepted in YouTube. Check this video (89 MB original …

schaetzle73, As bugs_bugger and I have said, the speed of your CPU is what's keeping you from using DOSBox to it's fullest potential, and the only way around that is getting a faster CPU. As for trying it in real DOS, there's 2 things to consider: #1 - Is the game compatible with your video card ( …
