Wasn't that exactly what SDL was meant for?

Your local trader will sell you older collections like the "Softgold Game Box 1 : 50 Games" for only a few € or $. You may buy even cheaper from friends who want to get rid of their old hardware and don't care about the games too.

Ah this software including opensource must be opensource thing.

found & tested it, thank you. BTW is there a thread for bitching about typos in // or /* */ ? Just wanna contribute some minor documentation if you want it. On the other hand maybe you don't want comments in the release sources.

Applied the patch. Still likes to hang up but in whole it runs. Thank you very much.

Hi, what part of the dosbox code is needed to create an additional "virtual program" like the COM files on z:\ to call external code of the emulator or any other program run by the host OS ?

Some versions of smartdrv need the exact dos version they came with (it's coded in almost any external command). I would look around to get any 3rd party disk cache instead of smartdrv (which likes eating memory) or get the smartdrv shipped with win 3.x which has no "dos-lock" built in. BTW you …

Hi, back in the 1990s I accidentally erased a diskette. It contained a program that could output 1980's music to the PC speaker in a decent way. I suspect it to be a kind of mod tracker. I don't know if it was limited to the speaker. All I know is my 286 had no sound card but still the sound was …

Has nothing to do with being a n00b. (I hate this "coolwriting" anyway) Back in those days when the IBM PC and the IBM PCjr came out, most monitors had a fixed Hz rate and monochrome displays still had a good market share. There were even monochrome graphics adaptors. Back then writing software was …

I don't use an RSS reader but I use RSS to incorporate headlines into my group's web site.

Works fine by me too. If you have any problems left just email me (I think the coders are busy enough anyway and I also use VC with dosbox.)

Qbix, does your post mean debugger registers are not implemented in dosbox [yet] ? You mean, those programs would run if dosbox had these registers added or are there other parts which would need to be added?

On a slightly better machine, I had good experience with a geforce 4 mx. Used it both for windows 98 / me / NT / XP and for native dos games. Didn't use DOSBox back then.

STORE function doesn't work with DOS programs. Didn't in native win98 either.

A lot of people seem to wish using Game Wizard or similar software in dosbox. It doesn't work. Dosbox's around quite some time until now. I think if it was easy to get these pieces of software to run, you would have done it. Now what would be the clever way to go? write a dosbox-compatible freezer …
