If both DOSBox and QEMU randomly crashed on your systems, then I would suspect that you might have system instability. I would first check on the thermal because running emulation is typically stressed on the CPU side. Win98SE VM with QEMU TCG is stable for me and I just tried the city course on …

To be honest, there was also a sound problem when I ran the game on DOSBox, the problem also encountered in Doom, that's why I didnt use DOSbox with it. BTW, I just tried DOSBox SVN with the game with the DOS version (run INSTALLD.EXE). It sounded as perfect as I would have expected. Using …

QEMU is a fine option, but like PCem it really needs a PC that can accept the huge performance hit. Most people don't own such a PC. Besides, Windows 9X tends to be very fragile. For this one, no you don't. With WHPX/KVM, the game plays very smoothly from Win98SE VM on Core i3-4010U laptop. QEMU …
Re: Will this run Munt?

I also have DOSBox with MT32 running on EeePC 701. At the stock clock which is the underclocked Celeron M 900MHz at 630MHz, Munt does not run well. By raising the clock back to 900MHz, Sierra adventure series are fine, with DOSBox running at 3000 cycles with normal core. XWing does not run well at …

With modern technologies and virtualization, getting such an old game to run native is a futile attempt. It is overly complicated and has the tendency to break the OS. QEMU WHPX on Windows 10 x64 runs the game just fine without any patches. Simply run a Win98SE VM, run the installer and play, that's …
Re: There an outline to build dosbox to use the x64 recompiler?

DOSBox SVN only needs SDL1.2 and I think that has been stable for some time and no longer being actively developed. The version provided is the last stable version, I believe, and I never had any issue with that.

I think you got most of the stuffs right. MSYS2 is very simple and straight forward and similar to typical Linux build tools and environment, especially if you are also a fan of ArchLinux/pacman. 1. You will need MSYS2 POSIX tools for running standard autogen.sh, configure scripts and GNU make. $ …

I don't recommend using MSYS or MSYS2, use Linux or WSL but if you must the following will provide you with a mingw-w64 w/ MSYS2 environment that will allow you to compile DOSBox for XP+. The version of mingw-w64 provided by the msys2 repo requires posix (so XP+) unlike the mingw-w64 provided by …

The type of shell from mintty decides the code generation. MSYS2 for POSIX (linked with msys-2.0.dll), Mingw-w64 32-bit for native WIN32 code and Mingw-w64 64 bit for native code 64 bit. POSIX packages do not prefix with mingw-w64-{i686,x86_64}. DosFreak's instruction may work, but it is overly …

How did you install the installer from msys2.org?

Posted on 2020-08-18, 01:36
Yes, I did. I use MSYS2/mingw-w64 and it built 64-bit native WIN64 version right out of SVN. I can't get it why this was not the same for you. Download from msys2.org is all you need.

Emulation is cool but personally I seek out real hardware because emulation isn’t enough. It’s about the experience! It depends if one values experience in tinkering with retro hardware or playing the games with the best experience. In my context, a retro-gaming capable VM matters a lot for laptops …

You can also retro-gaming on-the-go on modern laptops using VMs. Run DOS games with DOSBox and Windows games with QEMU.

What are the requirements for this thrash driver? Will it work on anything geforce supporting GL1.1/1.2? (that is, Geforce1/2/3 cards) There are 2 versions, one for OpenGL 1.1 (perhaps +popular and useful NV/ATI/ARB/EXT extensions, you can read the source code...:)) and another for OpenGL 3.2, I …

If your game of focus is NFS Porsche, you can obtain OpenGL render 3rash drivers from here. NVIDIA GPUs' OpenGL implementation is stellar since the GeForce eras.
Extreme Assault 3Dfx 'Q' or 'Tab' targeting

Hi Dege, This is very strange, not a rendering issue, but the targeting is not working only with Glide wrappers which makes the game unplayable now. I was completely puzzled because I am pretty sure I remembered they all worked (nGlide, OpenGlide, dgVoodoo 1.5 and dgVoodoo2) previously. This happens …

I think I had this same problem with some 3Dfx emulation in DOSBox but some other option worked. Maybe nGlide wrapper worked and kekko's chip emulation didn't or vice versa. This is very strange. Only Kekko's voodoo1 chip emulation works, all Glide wrappers (dgVoodoo1, dgVoodoo2, nGlide and …
