http://www.romhacking.net is a good place to start. Of course, like some other forums, if you just mosey in there and say "hay cn u translate X", you are likely to be met with invitations to avail yourself of the various documentation resources, even if you're willing to put up some money.

The ideal way to do it might be to run Twinsock on the old computer, and communicate with the Internet via tshost running on a different computer. That's how some people with university shell accounts used to do it, apparently. Very old web browsers have no chance of working with the current …

Please accept my apologies. It's me again. ... Where is the thread which discusses how to use the parallel port of dosbox megabuild? And also how can it pass thru to the usb port? I beg your pardon, but instead of apologizing, why not try searching? :blah: (Try the keyword "reallpt".) And USB …

FAT16 partitions cannot exceed 2 GB, so it makes no sense to suggest an MS-DOS program could access a file larger than 2 GB. You'd have to boot some version of DOS with FAT32 support, at least.

WordPerfect 5.1 forever! It ran just fine on a 286. I recommend Daniel's Legacy Computer Collection, which has a pretty kickass collection of screenshots and information (but no downloads) for common software of days gone by. Be sure to click the individual screenshots for more information.

Take a look at http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Celeron/TYPE-Celeron%20(Coppermine).html and scroll to the bottom. Is there some reason the markings on the Celeron 950 look different from all the other Celerons? There's some discrepancies with the faster Coppermine PIIIs, too. http://www.cpu-world.com/ …

The in-game music is redbook CD audio played off the CD; the menu music is standard MIDI. Thus, to get in-game music you'll either need to mount the actual CD using the appropriate switch for the MOUNT command, or you'll need to use IMGMOUNT and a CD image (likely in BIN/CUE format). http://www. …

The generally-favored codec for many applications lately is Xvid, which will likely result in even better compression than ZMBV.

Several of them have console ports (namely the N64), so I suppose if you really wanted to you could emulate them instead – but of course that would bring its own problems.

Exactly what I was thinking of. If you don't want to deal with eBay, the various HK shops like DealExtreme.com ought to have similar adapters (and free shipping). The only catch is that it will take a few weeks to arrive – but if you buy them locally, they'll probably cost $10 a piece.

Okay, so try SHSUCDX instead. It takes up less RAM than MSCDEX and is otherwise indistinguishable. You can also replace the Oak driver with this one from Toshiba, which also takes up less RAM ; apparently QCDROM.SYS is even better. See also the other useful suggestions in http://www.vogons.org/ …
