Do you break your factory seals on software?

in Milliways
I am sitting here looking at my newly acquired (and what I believe to be genuine) factory sealed copy of Star Wars: Rebel Assault II for the PC (incidentally the first Playstation game I owned) and I wonder about breaking the factory seal. I mean on the one hand, I could get a playable copy for even …

Re: Why doesn't this exist?

in Milliways
Anyone else got idea on what computer related items that should exist that could be convenient for you? System Boards that plug in to PCI Express and contain a complete 486/Pentium class machine with BIOS/RAM etc, that can be run through a software portal on the host system. It's basically DOSBox …

Re: Space Shooters like WC and Freespace - Opinions?

in Milliways
Nobody has mentioned it (I think?), so I'll mention Eterium. It's a game made for more modern systems, and can be had on Steam but I think it was a fun game to play. It has a story of sorts I think with some branching (I can't remember) but it was made very much in the style of Wing Commander etc. …

Re: Resolution and aspect ratio 27" monitor

in DOSBox General
I'm kind of having trouble with this as well. Let's take for instance the game StarGunner. I have a 1080p 27" monitor, and I launch my games through DBGL. Using just the options it provides I usually end up with a stretched out 16:9 image which fills the entire screen. What I want to get is a 1080p …

Re: Privateer joystick/mouse issues

I can't seem to resolve this issue either. Tried pretty much everything listed in this thread as well. Also worth noting, even though I specify NO joystick in my frontend config, the game will still recognize the joystick unless I unplug it Are there any other possible fixes to try? I swear I had …

Re: Invalid video stream?

in DOSBox General
Like I said, I tried. I clicked the shortcut but it wouldn't install properly from what I can tell. So I found an installer that installed it with the version it had bundled. Only then was I even able to view playback. edit: I looked in VdubMOD and the ZMBV codec is listed as "Zipped Motion Block …

Re: Invalid video stream?

in DOSBox General
Regular VirtualDub doesn't seem to want to do anything, won't even see the codecs I have installed. At first I couldn't even get the ZMBV codec to work for playback even after using the start menu install. I had to hunt down an actual installer program that installed it. So I'm using VdubMOD, which …

Invalid video stream?

in DOSBox General
When I record movies with dosbox I can't convert them to another format without problems, or in some cases getting the codec (like divx) to start at all. I get an error saying there is an invalid video stream, or the source picture is not suitable, etc.. When I try h264 it encodes but the image is …
