Erm, is this an official thread? In that case, I would like a setting in the .conf file to hide the bloody annoying console window which keeps popping up whenever you launch dosbox.

I think you are forgetting a fact which the entire world seems to have decided to ignore: Ultima Underworld preceeded Doom... Then again, Ultima Underworld was actually good. 😀

I looked through this thread quickly and also liked the cross idea with the words. I also remembered that the original Microsoft DOS icon had some intersting colors, to make it seem more user friendly, I think. However, I can't do any 3D, which is rather popular these days, so here's a very quick 2D …

Hot damn, is the DOS version of Fallout included with the Windows one? I have to dig out my CD when I get home, because when I tried it under XP, I got horrible video bugs (mouse cursor oddness and black screens) and I couldn't run it in a window, which made it look like utter crap on my TFT display …

Again, thanks, but those instructions won't help me to get it running in DOSbox , and I wanted to run it in DOSbox because I posted in the DOSbox forums! ;) You're help is appreciated, though. Also, that patch is the same patch that's on the CD I got, but the S2.EXE from the patch folder is much …

Since I can't even run it with the .pif file, I doubt that glidos or vdmsound would do any difference. But I posted here in the DOSbox forums because I would like to get it running under it. The S23DFX.EXE was located in the patch folder as well, though. I have set the game to run in 256 color mode …

I played Screamer 2 in DOSbox using a downloaded cracked (?) version. However, the game was soooooo sloooooow that I've never seen anything like it on DOSbox. I thought it may be the cracked version's fault, so last week, I bought the game from Sold Out Software. The CD version was twice the size of …

Press Ctrl + F11 until the stuttering stops. I play at around 2000-4000 cycles on my 1ghz laptop (compared to around 12000 cycles on my stationary computer)... ...looking at your specs, it seems that you should run at around 200-400 cycles, but that is perhaps too slow to keep up with the sound, on …

The Gamepark GP32 is getting a sequel called GPX2 with a dual core ARM CPU. The GP32 was apparently especially geared towards homebrewn games and was emulator heaven. This new product is apparently the same, but with added movie and music playback support. You apparently get Linux/Cygwin developer …

Ok, I admit, that could possible have been the worst error report in the history of error reporting. I'll try to elaborate a bit: The GUI background color seems to shift randomly each time to start a new game. It is supposed to be black. Also, the tracers of the bullets doesn't properly fade between …

I guess this is because Howitzer uses UNIVESA, which perhaps isn't fully supported? Btw, Howitzer is a much, much improved version of Scorched Earth which you can download the (unregistered) shareware version of here: http://www.gamers.org/pub/games/uwp-uml/misc/hwitz095.zip

I found SB16 drivers on www.soundblaster.com but not Soundblaster Pro 2 (which is what I used to have). Windows 3.x only includes Soundblaster 1.0 and 1.5 drivers, I think. Anyway, what is "Error 21"? I tried to search the forum, but couldn't find any information about it?

Arg, I found out what the problem was! As I said, it was something very basic: I had turned off the Soundblaster emulation (and also the GUS) in the config file. Turning it back on made Windows boot normally. I also installed the S3 drivers now to get 256 color graphics (16-bit doesn't work, I …

Sorry, but getting Windows to work takes precedence over the game and that is why I made this thread. I suspect that the thing I'm doing wrong is very basic, though, since nobody else have reported this.

I used to play Z (zed) in the previous releases (bought it again from cdaccess.com just to use it in dosbox).
