Last time when I had my GeForce Ti 4200, the drivers of that era had an option to display the nVidia transparent logo while playing D3D games. Nowadays that option is no more there. Is there any software or utility to display such logo while playing games? I thought it was cool, though many didn't …

I'm a bit late in replying but I just saw this thread today,just now. And I downloaded and installed using your program. Your program is really intuitive and very informative from the beginning till the end. Great work, Wintermute. Really appreciate your work and time. I'm surprised not many have …

Thanks a lot, Amigaz! It's ok about those Win95 disks. These Dos/W3.11 versions themselves are real hard to find. Greatful for your efforts and time. Thanks again!

Yes, please. I will be greatful if you can upload the AWE32 (including the Win95 install disks) orginial install disks as my classic system's SB32PnP card's driver disks have long been taken by my cousin and they're lost from there. Most of the websites provide the basic drivers set to enable the …

OK, what I'm trying to say is this...to use Dosbox, use it in the fastest system you have. If what you're building is inferior to the fastest system you have, you're gonna compromise the quality of and degrade Dosbox's performance. You don't need to build a dedicated Dosbox machine since an existing …

Hmmm....leileilol, maybe you're right. Dosbox should have got better. I'm using 0.71 only now. Since I've been playing the resource intensive games in my classic dedicated pc, I haven't tested these in dosbox yet. Thanks for the info. Dosbox is getting better sooner than I anticipated, I guess. 😀

Hi Kiwi, 5u3 ... I read your thread and replies with much interest regarding the Old Hardwares and DosBox. I'm one of the old time gamers who grew up with the days of Ms-Dos 3.3 onwards. And I've been building my own pcs for quite sometime now. What I would like to share is about my own systems …

Hi. Has anyone tried installing the MT-32 emulator under Vista? It doesn't seem to work: It says the "sytem cannot find the specified file". The same message I got when trying to install under Windows 98. Only XP works with the emulator. Any other opinion or solution? Thanks.

I This is for those who have successfully installed the MT-32 Software Driver, (Full Guide for using the MT-32 Roms is available elsewhere in this forum index) and for those using D-Fend frontend for the dosbox : If you're the type like me who likes to listen to MIDI music in windows but feel …

I've just found out the reason. In case anyone else is having the same problem, I found out that I needed to change the render to OVERLAY and midi engine to win32. I'm using DFend frontend. And it's great, and never had any problems with it. And just in case anyone having problem with Ultima 6 and …

Hi. I'm using Dosbox solely for the MT-32 music and sounds and to play certain games in it's optimal speed in some older games, since I'm having another old PC dedicated to DOS and Win98 combo with AWE32,etc. to play all my old Dos favourites. Somehow I noted while playing games in Dosbox using …

Why I want to use Win3.11? Well, it's just for nostalgic sake, if for nothing else. I've been using the pc from late 80's with games like Starfleet, Loadrunner, Karateka,etc,etc.. Sometimes, I just feel like collecting and playing all the classics. Even the early 90's saw some very good batch of …

You see, I'm having 3 different partitions in my hard disk for 3 different OSs : WinXP Pro, W98 SE, and the Classic DOS 6.22 & Win3.11 FWG combo. I can multiboot to each partition, since all these are bootable partitions. I have no prob with WinXP and W98 since I have installed both the drivers for …

Hi, I have a P4 system with an Audigy and a creative vibra 128 and a Ti4600. Problem is I couldn't make my Audigy work under Windows 3.11. I can somehow emulate the audigy under dos using the sbeinit.exe utility using the emulated port of 220. But I can never make windows 3.11 recognize it after …
