Re: Autoexec and Config for 286

Posted on 2017-09-03, 11:13

Thanks! I agree with you, too. :) I'm using the settings mentioned earlier as a base mainly. CD-ROM drivers were kept, since it makes browsing images of shareware CDs easier. On the real thing, back in time, I was using a PAS16 w/ Trantor SCSI controller. The MediaVision software took care of …

Hi, yes, that player works on 286 machines! ^^ These are my config files, which I used in the emulator.: [autoexec.bat] @ECHO OFF PROMPT $p$g PATH = C:\;C:\DOS;C:\TOOLS; MOUSE MSCDEX /D:CD001 /L:D NCSMALL [config.sys] DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:CD001 BUFFERS=30 FILES=20 …

Re: DOS games that treat 320x200 as 16:10

Btw 256 byte intros often handle 320x200 like it had square pixels and look better on a 16:10 display. This makes me wonder, why was the 320x240 resolution not used more often ? I mean, on CGA/EGA this resolution was perhaps problematic because of cheap CGA monitors; but VGA monitors were usually …

Too bad. I think it could have added to the Speech Thing replication project. Don't worry, it really was a good idea. Maybe looking at the drivers could provide some hints as to how it worked. I tried their FTP section, but the Win 3.1 files weren't retrievable. If we could debug them, we could at …

I'll advise against Virtualbox for Win9X. Poor stability, no video chipset support and no extensions support. Also the last time I brought this up on this board I got labeled a troll so there's that fanbase problem. Oh. :depressed: For any "virtualization" apps that I know that work well with Win9x …

Thanks a lot for your reply, datajake1999! When you said Windows 98 machine , I got a flashback and remembered my Armada laptop. - It is running Win98SE and I totally forgot it also has an internal AudioDrive. @nukeykt No problem, I'm happy to support this project. ^_^ I also wonder about the other …

You're kidding, right ? USB 2.0 in 2017.. It is equally out-dated like USB 1.0 was in 2005. ;) My man, I use USB 1.x almost 24/7. I would now use my "p a i n" meme, but, I never usually complete data transfers above 15GB. If a system of mine supports MMX instructions and at the very least supports …

Thanks for the info. Is there a VM that works on a 64 bit system and will run Win95 games. Hi, there are several. Virtual PC 2007, VirtualBox and VMWare Player, for example. The first one is best for Win95 because it has virtual addiitions for Win9x, but has no 3D graphics and also requires …

Hi, yes XP works just fine with USB 3.0. I was an early adopter back then and can confirm this. You may need to use a controller with a NEC chip, though. NEC released XP drivers, before it was bought by Renesas. Early Renesas drivers may also still work. I'm running version 2.1.28.0 right now (on XP …

You're kidding, right ? USB 2.0 in 2017.. It is equally out-dated like USB 1.0 was in 2005. ;) Win XP SP2 can handle USB 3.0 just fine, he's probably better of with a NEC-based USB 3.0 PCI card. Here are a few such cards, albeit pricey : https://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/USB-3.0/Cards/2-Port- …
