You might be able to brute-force a permanent change to the binary with Resource Hacker, but that's hardly elegant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Hacker EDIT: Come to think of it, DOSBox does display the name of the currently-running .exe in its title bar, so you could always just make …
Re: DOSBox And Physical Floppy Drive Question
Posted on 2016-09-14, 16:51
Actually, I wrote my last post after reading many forums about that matter, incl. the links above. No help. Thanks for letting us know. VirtualBox installs with no problems, but can't run the floppy. Should I look up instructions on how to enable the floppy controller in VirtualBox, or did you read …

I herd of what kind of stuff goes on on that site. I want nothing to do with it. Nor do I want the cops nocking on my door for being a part of all the smut and crime that goes on on the site. Oh, please, it's not that bad. A huge step up from the likes of 4chan, probably. Lately I've been making …

Well, that's not supposed to happen. Googling around suggests that there might be something else on your system not installed (or uninstalled) correctly, or that you might need to try closing other programs that are running. http://www.vistax64.com/virtual-pc/180581-can-not-install-vpc-2007-sp1.html …

I don't understand what your question has to do with Windows 3.1 in real mode. You can mount multiple floppy images, but only in the SVN versions of DOSBox. Use the command "imgmount a disk1.img disk2.img disk3.img", and you can toggle between the images by pressing CTRL-F4. CD-ROM images can be …

Oh. I thought you had read about the Win9x speed limitations and had drawn your own conclusions. There is certainly no reason it is not supposed to work with cache enabled and without having to make it "extremely slow to perform any operations".

If you want to see what files the program might be trying (and failing) to access, you should get Process Monitor from Sysinternals.

That's unbelievable! It's a game killer for me. Other than that, it's one of the best versions of MK3. CD quality soundtrack, 44KHz sound, zero loading, difficulty setting, playing as the bosses cheat (only available in UMK3 on other systems inc arcade), tournament mode, 50/60fps (usually). In many …

Yes, is your 98SE installation fully up-to-date? Among other things, Microsoft released a "Shutdown supplement" for problems of that nature. UltimaPlayer12 wrote: as booting into the CLI on boot-up using F8 and checking them shows garbled text. Can you be more specific about the nature of this …

I want to do a clean build but really dont want to have to source all the drivers. Have you tried at all? Since it's a laptop, all the drivers are likely to be in one place. I wonder if you could rename the Windows directory, reinstall Windows, and then direct Windows to the renamed directory for …

Newer versions of DX sometimes break compatibility with software that requires older versions. This is direct3D related only, as directdraw seems to work well in most cases. The thing is, FF7 is another one of those cases where the game is so enormously popular that I expect it would be a textbook …

Huh. I never had that many parallel port accessories in use at one time. I guess I learned something today. Sounds like the sort of thing with enormous potential to go wrong, considering how problematic SCSI could be.
