Re: Windows 95 install

Posted on 2017-01-25, 17:30

In fact, I'm sort-of wondering if I even need any of the sound lines in Autoexec.bat for Windows to use the sound card. You realize that those are environment variables that consume completely insignificant amounts of memory, right? If saving RAM is that important to you (and past a certain point …

Re: Sound Blaster 16 PnP in Win98 DOS Mode?

Posted on 2017-01-25, 07:31

I think one of the driver packages includes items specifically intended to be run in Win9x DOS mode. In any case, all it's really doing is looking at the MS-DOS version number; apparently if you use SETVER, you can trick the installer into thinking that you're running DOS 6. There's also a patched …

Do you think that maybe the problem is that I downloaded these as part of a package with DOSBox? If you downloaded them from some random place on the Internet instead of using original disks, there could be any number of things wrong with the files and it is fairly pointless to attempt …

Re: Proper Cleaning

If you're really enthusiastic about cleaning mechanical devices, then I suppose there's no substitute for taking things apart completely, but it's pretty risky. There's just no standard way for putting a lot of these things together, and I usually wind up snapping some tiny plastic tab or another …

Brasso tends to be recommended when people need to clean video game cartridges, or sometimes a rubber eraser, but those things get a lot dirtier than PC components typically do. i.e best way to clean up and re-lube a joystick Is that a thing people do? or get a ball mouse properly clean I would …

Re: Generic Win98SE Installation & Setup Guide

Replace the installed Win98SE versions of ScanDisk and Defrag with the WinME versions. Just overwrite the existing files with the WinME versions: c:\windows\defrag.exe c:\windows\scandiskw.exe what do we get from this exactly? Apparently they're faster. The Win98 defrag is pretty lousy and I sure …

Interesting. But why Acrobat Reader 5 instead of Reader 6? (Reader 6 is one of few apps that won't install on 98FE, but it should work on SE.) If it's because Reader 5 is more lightweight, then I would suggest going with a different app entirely, like Sumatra or Foxit, though I have no idea what the …

Are those "Deluxe" games the CD-ROM versions? Have you checked around for patches (like at http://patches-scrolls.de/ ) ? Sometimes in the Deluxe CD version of Carmen World, you would receive a clue that would require you to listen to a tape recorder or answering machine with a sample of a foreign …

Is there isos for geexbox 0.9 1.0? Cause i cant find any bootable isos for older versions than 1.5. Where exactly were you looking..? http://download.geexbox.org/releases/ I had a preference for MoviX back in the day, since it has a better UI, but old versions of Geexbox are probably more up-to- …

Re: problem with files

I must try with ms dos on dosbox.. Actually, no, that probably won't work either – this never would have worked in MS-DOS 6.22, so there's no reason to expect this to work in DOSBox either. According to http://ask-leo.com/is_there_a_limit_to_what_a_single_folder_or_directory_can_hold.html , the …

Re: Win98: more than one video card

Posted on 2017-01-22, 20:45

There is a registry key that sets the default Direct3D renderer. It was common to change it when one had a voodoo 1/2 card installed alongside of another 3D card. Yes, there was a little utility called 3D Control Center to facilitate switching. (All it really did was insert an underscore in front …
