A mate of mine has bought a security system (four security cameras plus the base unit, it's this one: https://www.screwfix.com/p/swann-swdvk-845804v-eu-8-channel-1080p-cctv-dvr-kit-4-cameras/763gr?_requestid=618483 ), and he wants to connect it to the TV in his upstairs bedroom. Downstairs he has a …

Re: Benchmarking DOSBox on latest machines

Posted on 2019-11-11, 16:28

I see, thanks for the detailed answers. That leads me to more questions (sorry!) : 1. Can DOSBox and say the fastest domestic PC currently available, emulate the most demanding DOS game (whatever that is) at full speed? With all of the games options, such as draw distance and screen resolution, set …

Re: Benchmarking DOSBox on latest machines

Have we reached the point yet where DOSBox, running on the most powerful PCs available to the public, can emulate games faster than they can run in real DOS on any machines? Come to think of it, my question implicitly assumes that DOS itself can't natively run on modernish (say from 2010 or 2015) …

Control by Remedy Yeah, I finished that (back when it came out). I don't remember how much I completed of the side-quests, does the game give you a figure for the total percentage of the game you've completed? I did complete the main quest, and was surprised at how abruptly it ended. Control is an …

Regarding Fallout 76 (which I've not played, because of EVERYTHING I heard about it, which was all bad), so the game comes out, is *terrible* both in idea and execution, and is in the bottom ten all time most bugged games ever released on the PC, and now Bethesda want to charge $100 a year for …

What to do when Windows 7 support ends in a few weeks time?

Posted on 2019-10-22, 18:43

If, like me, you've stuck with Windows 7 (either because it does what you need, and you're loathe to change, or any other reason), then what are your plans when this year ends and Microsoft stop supporting Windows 7? The options seem to be things like upgrade to Windows 10, or move over to Linux, or …

Advice needed for home security camera system

Posted on 2019-10-19, 15:33

I'm in England (if that's important) and I want to set up a security camera system for my house (a semi-detached house). I want to use two cameras, one for the front of the house, one for the back garden, and ideally for the system to allow for more security cameras later if need be. I want the …

Re: 64-bit dynamic_x86 (patch)

Posted on 2019-10-15, 16:01

Trying to emulate an entire 32-bit x86 CPU on a 32-bit x86 CPU is awkward because most of it is unusable by user code; segment registers, system registers, even ESP is restricted from being freely modifiable. A 64-bit CPU has an extra 8 general purpose registers to help get the job done. I see, …

Re: 64-bit dynamic_x86 (patch)

Is there any real advantage or disadvantage to running a 64 bit version of DOSBox, when it comes to actually emulating DOS games? I wouldn't think that many DOS games process numbers that are larger than 32 bit, nor of course would you need the larger than 32 bit memory access. And even if a given …

Finally! After only twenty-seven years, the ZX Spectrum gets a port of the arcade classic Mr Do!

Re: 64-bit dynamic_x86 (patch)

the 32bit one is still the fastest. So if you run DOSBox 0.74-3 you are good. But some operating systems are doing away with 32bit support and before this patch 64bit DOSBox was really way slower. This patch is awesome for those OS :) The patch is now in SVN so up to date SVN builds will have it …

Re: 64-bit dynamic_x86 (patch)

On behalf of the non-techy members of Vogons, can I ask which version of DOSBox runs the fastest now, the original 32 bit, or this 64 bit build (is the one in the first post of this topic still the latest one?), and is that the same DOSBox as v0.74-3, or does it have any patches and newer functions …

Re: legality of backup copies

Personally, I see no moral issue at all with copying music from a CD that you legally own onto a PC or a portable mp3 player etc. And if you have bought a video game, then I likewise see no moral problem if you put the game's music onto your PC or music player, and thus listen to the music when you …
