Re: Kiloblaster.bat

Posted on 2014-06-20, 20:23

To be clear, there is a file named KFILEA.EXE (or KFILEA.COM) in the same directory as kilo.bat, right? If as you say it's a .bat file problem, then one likely solution is to download 4DOS (a COMMAND.COM alternative) and run that in DOSBox before trying to run the .bat file. It's also possible that …

7-N-1? That's a really weird setting for a COM port. Anyway, is that USB settings screenshot taken from the same computer you were running DOSBox from? Maybe you should find another program that you can use to verify that the COM port exists. Portmon, perhaps.

I always though images are read and made bit-by-bit. And anyway, Nero does not seem to be crappy, at least the part that deals with CDs... And if you're using pristine CDs, it probably won't make any difference. But the reason EAC is so beloved is that it makes an extra effort to compensate for …

Re: Can DOSBox replace a real DOS machine?

The trouble with using real hardware over DOSBox is that DOS games are, in general, not very good with backwards and forwards compatibility, meaning the best hardware to run a DOS game on is hardware that was around at the exact point in time the game was made. But at any particular point in time …

The easiest way would be to create a new shortcut to DOSBox.exe and edit its properties from being a shortcut to "C:\whatever\dosbox.exe", you make it a shortcut to "C:\whatever\dosbox.exe" -noconsole. The ideal way would be to run DOSBox.exe -noconsole from the command prompt.

EAC and FLAC here too. Although since I've replaced my old dvd burner by a blu ray / dvdr drive, I'm having lots of problems with EAC. It rips the cd but then I get silent tracks with just clicks. If anyone knows about this problem I'd appreciate the help! Have you tried ripping to an uncompressed …

Did you try running the SVN build with the -noconsole switch, as I suggested? This should result in the creation of files named stderr.txt and stdout.txt in the same directory as DOSBox.exe. Also, are other programs running properly on this computer?

Download the installer for the Windows SVN build from http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ and see if that works. If it doesn't work, you can try running that version with the -noconsole switch, which will hopefully produce a useful error log.

My 486 DX2/66 running DOS 6.22/WFWG311 runs 24/7 right next to my Windows 7 64-bit Pentium D! I'm often working on stuff on them both at the same time, and often times their tasks overlap. The Pentium-D is not that new either , it's 7 years old. Oh sure, you can still do plenty of stuff with a …
