This is not DOSBox-specific info, though.

Why are you trying to run it from the Duke3D folder? The addon requires the full version of Shadow Warrior. To run it in DOSBox, all you need to do is: Take the Wanton.Dat and WT.GRP files from the extracted files Copy them over to your Shadow Warrior directory Rename Wanton.Dat to Wanton.exe Run …

If you find software that is incompatible with the version of MS-DOS included with Windows 98 (aside from FAT16 disk utilities) I am sure many people here would be very interested to know more about your discovery. I didn't said so because of the reasons you've mentioned, it's because it's obvious. …

Unfortunately 1280x960 is broken on this monitor. They decided to display it as a letterboxed 1280x1024, which itself is pillarboxed. The result has correct aspect ratio, but doesn't fill the whole screen, instead it has black frame on all sides (much smaller than when using 1:1 scaling but still …

NoCD patch - unlikely cause Widescreen fix - maybe, if it messes up the graphics engine in a way that introduces lag; try without it Are you getting good FPS? Does it feel laggy? Did you try with a keyboard? A controller?
Re: DOSBox or old computer for MS-DOS Games?
Posted on 2017-06-20, 11:10
Both. That's the general answer, because some things are easier to get working in DOSBox, others are easier to get working on real old hardware, and there are differences in the experience. For more specific advice you need to tell us which games you have in mind.

Depends on the game. Some will work natively. For some, there may be a patched version (check GoG).

A long passphrase is better than a short password with special characters, in the sense that it is easier to remember and harder to crack. However, unless you are a fast typer, it is longer to input. You do have a point that without education, people will continue using stupid passphrases just like …

I do think the &sid= thing is a bug, but it appears to affect almost every forum I visit. There are no implications though - auto-login still works.

..... wow. Read through most of the first page of posts and skimmed through the 2nd. Joined late to the party, I see. :) I would say that your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files are HUGE. Is there an honest-to-goodness reason for all of that extra crud in there? Not really, and it's been discussed. …

Instructions on enabling WPA2 in Win9x/ME on Ralink Turbo RT61 Wireless CardBus Adapter The adapter I got is the Edimax EW-7108PCg , but it will probably be the same for all adapters based on this chip. The driver and utility are directly from RaLink and are completely generic. Download the driver …

And 37 passwords isn't a lot. Lots of people have over a 100 accounts outside of work. Humans just can't memorize that many long randomly generated strings. There is no need to use randomly generated strings for passwords. Passphrases are much better, but not all services allow them. At most that's …

Even that example in itself is not enough. Suppose that the evil player is in the middle of his bruteforcing and you just changed your password? Does it affect at all any of his chances of success? Not the slightest. The new password, just like the old password, is exactly one random combination out …

If you're synchronizing passwords because you need them on multiple devices, are you really constantly creating new accounts that you need access to on multiple devices? Not constantly, but regularly, yes. Also, the worst thing is that, as kode54 mentioned, some services you don't use can expire, …

The way I see it, you either have one place where you store it (and then it's always has to be with you, and there is a risk of data loss / theft), or you have multiple storage spots, where you have to constantly synchronize between them. A nice option would be some safe central location (like a …

For me it works well. Something wrong with your cookie expiration settings? Perhaps an addon is clearing them (oddly, I had a proxy switcher once that had a weird checkbox to clear cookies). Does it happen only on VOGONS or other forums as well?

Not telling people your password pattern is not and never was best practice. Not having a password pattern is best practice. That requires a password manager. Use an offline one if you don't trust the cloud . Where do you store it? How do you protect it from storage crash causing data loss? How do …

So far, I did not succeed to enable WPA2 on 9x/ME with the SMCWCB-G. However, I managed to do so with a different CardBus adapter - the Edimax EW-7108PCg , which is based on RaLink RT2561 (RT61). It's now installed in the Thinkpad A31p, running WinME, connected to my router using WPA2-PSK / AES. …
