Re: I want an "Ultimate DOS" gaming rig but... is this too powerful?

Posted on 2012-01-10, 18:51

in DOS
Instead of trying to define some kind of nebulous "Ultimate DOS" gaming rig, why not just decide what you want to play, and then build an appropriate machine for what you want to play? You're not going to play everything , whatever your intentions might be. OMF 2097 has a manual speed throttle built …

Company shutdown and copywrite expired. Copyright does not work that way. It does not crash it just won't load , when I try it says. DoS/4gw protected run time version 1.95 Copyright...... And then a brief stall and my blinking blinker comes back and you can continue to type commands Might as well …

the game works for others , and yes windows is on a image , and my thinking was mabye it would work because dos is built into windows ? I don't really kno just figured I'd try it .... To be blunt, that is a pretty terrible idea, for a number of reasons. If you want more help, then answer the …

I trying to get a dos game called pizza tycoon If this is a DOS game, what makes you think using Windows 95 would help? Can you perhaps give more details about what happens when you try to run the game? But I can't get any files from the iPad onto the c:\ in windows , I can get stuff to the c:\ of …

I'm still not particularly convinced that the benefits of slipstreaming should carry much weight if one is only installing once. But anyway, nLite supports slipstreaming 2K. http://www.nliteos.com/nlite.html

Re: Files created in Dosbox not shown in Windows

Look in your user profile under APPDATA (It's a hidden folder). If you don't have write permission to a protected folder that you are trying to write files to then the files are redirected to your user profile. Has nothing to do with DOSBox. As Dosfreak wrote ;) It's actualky a nice feature of …

My hope is that hardware virtualization for graphics card will eventually be commonplace on regular motherboards (instead of being exclusive to ultra-high-end server or workstation mainboards as it is right now) The technology is called VT-d (for intel) and AMD-Vi (for AMD). It needs support from …

Though as you stated with the 486 boards, I hope that 40GB is not too big for this Pentium board. Could I partition it on a different system or would the issue simply be the fact that the drive is physically 40GB? The issue would be that the drive is physically too big. Partitioning is a software …

When do you think XP will become (if ever) a legacy system for gaming much like how we discuss Win98, etc here? Probably when the majority of new software ends up not being able to run under XP. Seems to me that time is a long way off yet. (Even 64-bit software seems to be limited to highly …

Re: parallel port passthrough

What sort of configuration options are you using? Please explain what you mean by that please. As per http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=11979 , did you alter your dosbox.conf? And naturally if you don't have porttalk running, I doubt you'd get anywhere. Are you sure the USB-to-parallel device …

I remember getting scared of the DOS/4GW crash in 2006 or 2007 when I was playing the shareware release of Descent at the age of 12 on DOSBox and I remember hoping straight out of the chair and scared to play the game because of it. :shocked: I don't get it. You were annoyed that a game originally …

Eh, save points have their place. There's something to be said for the way that saving-anywhere can devastate the level of challenge. But I suppose at least some limited ability to stop anywhere and pick up from where you left off is important too, as you describe – even a DS can be put into sleep …

The book is a singular experience. It took me a long time to really appreciate it. I know the first page by heart; you never know when you'll be called upon to deliver a monologue. 😉 DonutKing wrote: The new one by Eoin Colfer is decent too. It's pretty different. I can see why a lot of people …

Re: parallel port passthrough

There was actually an old thread about dongle support at http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=26416 . Mr. HAL appears emphatic that USB-parallel converters do not work (see also http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=11979&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20 ). I would suggest using a parallel port on …
