Dominus: Doh, I didn't even think of using DOSBox's innate ability to parse multiple conf files. My original thought was to have my frontend dynamically generate a complete one when the user launches a game and feed that to dosbox. CBoxRun: Might be a decent compromise.

Does the 32-bit program pass any command-line parameters/arguments or environment variables to readseq.exe, or does readseq.exe know what to do on its own when it gets called? Also, if the 32-bit program is also DOS-based then it may run inside of DOSBox as well.

Looks nice. What did you make it with? I'm still thinking of making a crossplatform DOSBox frontend that is based around the idea of defining a hierarchy of DOSBox config file overrides because I find the main killer for me with frontends is the fact that I end up needed to edit the configs for 30 …

I remember wishing I had bought a PCI motherboard for my 486DX4-120 instead of a VLB one. Even with a decent VLB video card (don't remember which now) I wasn't able to play DirectX 3.0 games in Win95 worth a damn. Specifically, Dink Smallwood was an unplayable slideshow and Jedi Knight was barely …

Good to know, as I saw some Behringer models on the music equipment sites. The simplest-looking Allen&Heath mixer on their site goes for like $800 on Amazon. I remember looking at mixers a while back and giving up due to the high cost. There are some decent-looking ones at around $80-100 like the …

- Noone would ever be inclined to do that because PS doesn't process executables. I'll bet that people *do* bug them all the time about how to undo association of image files with PS, though! - Should people start doing that en-masse for some reason, Adobe *would* likely address it on a wide level …

(Re: your SC-88) As I posted previously, a buddy and me used to drool over that one (the SC-88Pro) back in the day :) Heh, those things are still a bit pricey over at EBay, even today. What is the sample ROM size on yours? IIRC the SC-88 was 20MB, and the SC-88Pro was 40MB (but I may be wrong about …

You should be able to run 2 SB-compatible sound cards in the same machine by giving them each their own separate set of IRQ, DMA and port address settings.

That site shows 11.6 FPS for a 486DX4-120 at 320x200. My machine probably averaged a little lower due to having a VLB video card instead of PCI, but not by much. Needless to say, it was low enough that Quake didn't make quite as huge an impact on me as it did on the rest of the gaming world 😜

Never mind, I was thinking of the one swaaye mentioned. I've never heard of the one rfnagel mentioned. Considering that the MT-32 ROM is only like 128KB, I doubt that the 8MB SF2 would have any difference in the MT-32 bank samples compared to the 2MB and 4MB SF2s.
