Re: Tandy 1000 HX Emulation

Posted on 2007-06-03, 08:59

in PC Emulation
What about using MESS? It emulates some Tandys (if you have the ROMS). Can DOSBox write to ROM areas? If so, a program that puts the original ROM in place can be made (effectively putting the fonts in their place) and intercepting INT 10h to point to correct font tables.

Final Fantasy VII (yes, I bought that one in PC). When it was released, reviews weren't good, because it was MIDI when CD Audio was the standard. But it sounded impressive on my AWE64 (with the special soundfont), and it was very atmospheric. Also, the tracks in Elite Beat Agents are very well …

Maybe you'd get better results executing your program through VMWare (some versions are free). The rule about emulators is: - For playing games: use DOSBox. It's unbeatable emulating sound cards and video cards. - For DOS applications: use VMWare. Included Parallel port support, and it emulates a PC …

Not so sure. The first batch of Pentiums ran at 60, 66 and 90 Mhz (90 Mhz pentium was said to be a extremely hot chip). Wikipedia says the first batch ran at 60 and 66 Mhz... maybe 60, 66 and 90 mhz were the first chips available in Spain.

A Voodoo Banshee is NOT a Voodoo3. A Voodoo Banshee is a Voodoo2 stripped down chip (1 texture unit versus 2 texture units) with 2D capabilities added, while Voodoo3 was the substitute of Voodoo2 chips.

Some thought maybe related... (haven't seen the video, sorry) Yesterday I had to clone a laptop. I used xxx boot cd (pirate stuff, I won't give the name), starting with TPC/IP support. My plan was to start Ghost and put the image in a shared folder. The first step was making the connection (net use …

Re: Abandonware and Dosbox

I hate a crazy idea what if the next dosbox had an auto detect to find out if the copy is legit. Maybe you could show a messagebox every time DOS exec function is called, asking "Is your program legal?", and Yes/No buttons. As far as I know is as reliable and non-intrusive as some commercial …

Re: Don't Have a Floppy Disk Drive

1.- Get a PC with a floppy disk. 2.- Use rawwrite to make images from your floppies. 3.- Use your images to "boot" DOSBox. Another thought... Would FreeDOS work inside DOSBox? It can be installed from a CD Drive...

Works. Fast. Too fast. Some cutscenes lasts 0.2". The game let you choose the framerate, so it plays smoothly. Also, it works in Dosbox 0.65+Windows 3.11 (I use the spanish version with S3 drivers) and it doesn't requiere more than 10000 cycles.
