Update the twelfth! Like a magnet caught in a steel mill, I just won't go away! This week's scripted video was about games that were entirely free, but also sported a great replay value! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDJfvKDWSzc I also provided a channel update, outlining what I plan on doing …

I love your channel. I've been watching it daily since mid last year. You're one of those early adopters who watch daily and turned up just as I was really hitting my stride. I recognise a lot of the names because there was only about 30 of you in total initially! I always find it amazing that some …

Thanks for the tips! I'll give them a shot, and I've also got in touch with Dreamer to see if he has any ideas about why the Staging repo (which is where I got it) would be overwriting DBGL as well as Dosbox. It might well be something screwy my end, I'll report back when I've learnt more.

Quick query for anyone with the knowledge here. I'm running a Linux distro (Mint) and installed dbgl quite happily via the terminal, decided I wanted to add DOSBox Staging and X as well, but upon installing Staging's repo it not only replaced my original DOSBox but removed dbgl as well! Undeterred, …

hi - I like your channel, nice coverage! Thank for the support Gerry! Yeah, like I said near the beginning of the channel, the best time to do this was in 2006 and unfortunately it's definitely not 2006 anymore! So you just have to grind your way up into people's collective view through a …

First off, Scorched Earth is awesome. Secondly, check your graphics card settings to make sure that it's not been altered by an update when it comes to scaling of full-screen applications. Thirdly, check your DOSBox configuration file, as it sounds like a scaling issue. You can change the output and …

That's what scalers are for. DOSBox comes with a load of scaling methods you can use in the configuration file, and there's also the option to set the resolution of the screen it'll be scaling to. The first thing to check though is that your graphics card scaling isn't automatically turning it into …

Also if you plan on playing, either cap your frames to 30fps if you don't have a monitor with a variable refresh rate, or 47 if you do. That'll give you a smooth experience for the most part. Does this really work? AFAIK the game's camera updates at 30FPS, so why would a 47fps update make things …
