BAM! http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/SVN_Builds Did you talk to Qbix or somebody about this? I pretty much dislike advertising *DEVELOPMENT* builds even more than the dev forum (which should not contain links to prebuilt versions either IMO). No, but I don't think he has a problem with it since he …

2. I don't know about that one. You'll have to try imaging the disk normally first then try the TSR while mounting the said floppy image in a vm (that isn't dosbox). Not guaranteed to work though Part of the problem there is I don't know if I even have the TSR any more; if I do then it's on one of …

So I've got a bunch of old 5.25" IBM PC formatted floppies in my closet that are 15-25 years old. Some are original game disks (gutted from their now-flattened boxes), and some are full of random shareware I picked up from random BBSes and friends. Some are 360KB double-density disks and some are 1. …

External modules are great because you can use them with real Retro Hardware AND with DOSBox on a modern machine (USB midi cable)... Agreed. Actually I've only really used mine with DOSBox! I do have a joystick-to-MIDI cable that I bought to interface a MIDI keyboard to Cakewalk back in college, …

Try muting the PC Speaker, Mic and Line In on the SB16's mixer. They could be picking up RF noise from your computer.

That's kind of weird - why not have the frontends info in the main DOSBox wiki?

However I prefer external Midi modules anyway. A Roland Sound Canvas is a must for any DOS Retro Gamer lol Yeah, that's why I broke down and bought an MT-32 and an SC-88 and stopped messing with anything else. I feel like I should also be on the lookout for a CM-64, but my understanding is that …

DOS joysticks used DB15 connectors, which carried 4 analog axes and 4 buttons (originally intended for use with two 2-axis, 2-button analog joysticks). The most fancy of DOS joysticks, which used special encodings to add more buttons, top hats, etc. required specific game support rather than using …

Yeah I'm not sure about Redguard because it's the only TES game I've never played (thought it required DOS Glide but I guess it has a software renderer too?). Daggerfall runs fine under Win9x but is a DOS program that uses DPMI. Battlespire too, but it's one of the most demanding DOS games ever …

I think Dark Forces was late enough that its music was optimized for GM and hamfistedly-mapped to MT-32. I got the DOS CD-ROM version of X-Wing working on DOSBox 0.74 with my SC-88 last night. Noticed that X-Wing's music is tuned so tightly to the SC-55 that SC-88 mode sounds worse than SC-55MkII …

Is Steam actually required for CS1.x if you have physical installation media? I suppose it probably is now to use the latest version so that you can play with others on the Internet.
