Re: VDMS BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH

Posted on 2006-11-13, 00:45

First of all I'm already signed in under an Admin account so I'll skip that bit if thats OK. It's not OK. The problem with remote problem solving is that certain checkpoints HAVE to be followed to allow for a possible solution to be implemented. I could take the time to explain exactly WHY I want …

Re: System Shock v1.5S floppy version

in DOS
DosFreak, From what I can glean from old Usenet posts in Google Groups it appears that LOADPATS.EXE and the Miles AIL2 and AIL3 drivers for the Gravis Ultrasound drivers were probably done by a "Jayeson Lee-Steere" . The GUS was so left-field for the sound card driver writers (HMI, MILES) that they …

DosFreak, The major difference between v1.5 and v1.9 of LOADPATS.EXE is that the newer v1.9 you uploaded works both in Dosbox GUS emulation and the GUSEMU32 emulator. The original v1.5 that came with SYSTEM SHOCK will only load GUS patches with DosBox v0.65 GUS emulation. Now I have to find out WHY? …

I have a Loadpats.exe v1.9. I really haven't been looking for loadpats.exe so it's just dumb luck that it's in my RAD Game Tools collection folder. Could I please get a copy of your v1.9 of LOADPATS.EXE? I would like to see if they changed the -8 loading process as compared to v1.5. The output from …

5u3, Please don't worry about time! I thought it would only take a week or so of evening work to correct the bugs -boy was I wrong. I cannot believe that the SYSTEM SHOCK floppy version EXE and Installer made it out the door from QA with the bugs I ran into under the NTVDM. It just worked out that …

5u3, I sent the beta test update files in a ZIP attached to a PM. Your testing could confirm if the original Floppy-diskette vF1.5S will now work in all DOS or DOS emulation environments with these patched program and data files. This new version will be vF1.5P... Thank you again for your time, …

Re: DOSBox debugger

Posted on 2006-10-25, 06:59

am i blind, or is there no way in the debugger to search mem for a string or sequence of bytes? You have to think outside the 'BOX... Use the Dosbox Debug command: MEMDUMPBIN to dump a range of memory to a file named MEMDUMP.BIN Then use your favorite Hex editor to do all the string or byte …

It is probably a little late in the day to again address the issue of EMS memory availability on the NTVDM sub-system of the Microsoft WinNT/2K/XP operating systems, but here goes anyway... Conventional wisdom states that many PC workstations which run the Microsoft WinNT/2K/XP operating systems …

Than explain me how to create the images from the floppy or hdd, and how to make them bootable in the meantime... After you explain to me the meaning of life and how to get along with others by playing nice - oh, say by not DEMANDING to be told how to do things on your schedule. Remember, you are …

5u3, Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had also tried asking on the TTLG Shock forums, however no one seemed interested! :surprised: I'll be working on the patches for vF1.5S this week, since I have already practiced on the vB3.0S (pirated Beta) and vF1.6S (orphaned floppy version on enhanced CD- …

If you have solutions for the native XP/2k Dos susystem's NTVDM.EXE's high CPU usage, post those here. It would help me. Your problem is not with the NTVDM, it is with the keyboard handling of the Borland IDE... For the WinXP NTVDM try this commercial product: Tame for WinNT, Win2K and WinXP. Hope …
