Re: Best DOS video card?

Posted on 2007-01-27, 16:08

I had Riva128 back in the day and was totally turned off by it's very obvious blurry 2D. It really was the worst 2D quality (not speed, that was great) that I had ever seen. In fact, that card turned me off to nVidia based cards all the way until I finally got a 6600GT for my current rig. I suppose …

Now that I think about it, I may want to switch out my matrox G400 for a Voodoo Banshee or Voodoo 3000. I do want an AGP card. I just tried a couple old DOS games of mine and the Matrox did not work. Does anyone else have any experience using the Matrox boards in old DOS games? It would be my …

Pair of Retro PC's

Between a couple PC's I had laying around and a few more purchases off eBay, I built a pair of nearly identical retro gaming PC's. They both dual boot DOS 6.22/Win3.1 and Win98se. PC #1 ASUS P2B-B v1.02 ASUS S370-DL slotket Pentium III (Coppermine) 1.0GHz 100FSB ASUS P2T thermal probe 288MB PC100 …

This topic may live on, but I want to let everyone know that it appears I will stick with my Matrox G400 AGP card. It universally has good support for DOS, Win31 and Win9x, so it makes a great "legacy" gaming machine card. You can't beat the 2D quality as well. If I come across any Glide games in my …

Best DOS video card?

Posted on 2007-01-21, 14:03

I'm beefing up an old PII machine to be a killer DOS gaming box. And thanks to the wonder of eBay, I believe any card made is in my grasp - either now or eventually. Right now I have a Matrox G400. It's no slouch, but I'm sure there is something better. I do have an old S3 Virge available, but I'd …

Opinions on VPC, VMWare and DOSBox with Windows 3.1

Posted on 2006-12-26, 15:00

This question comes up from time to time (including posts from myself well over a year ago), so here it is in a nutshell after playing with all options for years. I have DOS 6.22/Win3.1 on VirtualPC 2004, VirtualPC 2007 beta, VMWare 5.5.3, and Win3.1 on DOSBox ykhwong build 12.03.2006. All have been …

Re: Any new DosBox release before Christmas / 2007?

Yes, but then how do you uninstall it? What if a newer official release shows up in the apt sources? I realize its a matter of point since DOSBox isn't that messy of an install, but other programs are. We should not have to resort to sources. And if DOSBox doesn't come out with a release at least …

This may not be what BlueWizard has intended when he wrote this post, but having periodic "official" releases of the CVS code would be very helpful to Linux folk. Having official releases makes it easier to install in Debian distributions like Mepis and Ubuntu. It's not like Windows where installing …

Re: Tomb Raider on a Retro Machine

in DOS
I want to build a patched and self-contained \TOMBRAID folder with all data and everything I need to play the game in Glide mode for DOSBox. I have everything but a CD emulator or a patch that can eliminate the CD for TombRaider. Is there one available that can work with DOSBox? Or better yet, is …

Re: Best Glide games?

Anyone have any ideas? Is there a specific order of patches or particular version of Tomb Raider that works? I've tried all sorts of combinations and patches and can't 'quite' get it working under DOSBox. Thanks.
