Re: Disk cache drops performance massively

Posted on 2020-01-31, 17:52

No, it isn't. After copying 2 times to NUL, the file is completely in disk cache. But the performance is still horrible. Yest it's. Re-read what I have written. Disk cache performance is not (only) about bulk file copies... Anyway, how a 130 MB file could be 'completely in disk cache' under DOS …

Re: Disk cache drops performance massively

Hi, I have the feeling that the title of this thread is a little misleading. Generally it's true that "caching drops bulk COPY performance". It's not only true in case of disk caches but caches in general. Caching relies on the principle of locality (temporal/spatial). Caching in general works well …

I recently watched this video where youtuber LGR is trying to run duke nuken in dos 6.22 on a newer machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS9hiSwL1KY He can't get the VESA drivers to work, but some other driver worked fine. Actually what LGR experienced in the video with his Geforce 980 is a …

Re: Help Excluding Memory Range Using EMM386

1. You do not need EMM386 loaded to run Win3.1(1). Especially not in enhanced mode. 2. ???? = D800 (You need to set segment addresses in X parameter but the starting physical address is actually D0000. 32K in decimal = 0x8000 in hexadecimal. 0xD0000 + 0x8000 = 0xD8000. So the required segment that …

Re: Opl 3 Sound Bank ?

I was also interested in the Falcosoft OPL3 GM VSTi but haven't found the program in your link. It's in my Soundfont Midi Player package that can be found on the site linked by Anapan. Perhaps you know where to find the ess windows custom FM Midi Bank ? You can extract it from ESS Audiodrive …

If I'm counting it right 'WordSlinger' is also more than 8 characters long so it's definitely not a valid DOS executable name. I do not know this game specifically but if 'WordSlinger.exe' is the name of the main executable of the game then it's 100% sure that it is not a DOS game. Also if something …

Re: sound blaster audigy 2 zs and dos games?

Posted on 2019-11-13, 16:30

It does work for me as I can easily hear the difference when I switch between the Arachno and FluidSynth soundfonts when I run Doom and Duke 3D using General Midi. Maybe your setup is different. Just out of curiosity: What do you hear when you select Sound Blaster as music device (instead of …

Re: sound blaster audigy 2 zs and dos games?

Posted on 2019-11-13, 13:29

This is true for pure DOS e.g. if you shutdown Windows via the "Restart in DOS mode" option and play from there. However, if you play games from within the Windows 98 DOS prompt, you can use soundfonts for General Midi just fine with VXD drivers. No, It's still true for Win9x DOS prompt. In case of …
