Hehe even though you had to suffer hardship, I am glad it is finally working for you, and you are enjoying great performance again. Good to hear you have managed to save your data as well. Yes, you have to remember to be careful with installing random codecs (actually anything random, for that …

Re: Stripped down .CONF for speed? Suggestions

I have not tried Windows 3.1 specifically, but I can give you some general performance guidelines that usually help dosbox behave better and more efficiently, nothing too fancy. First thing you can do is to disable the scaler. Set it to none. In addition, you don't gain performance with nosound=true …

Hmm, actually, I have noticed a helpful guide on gamespot.com for optimizing a PC as well. It is not the most exhaustive resource in the world, but it might be a good starting point. In that guide, a good utilitity is to be found that has been tailored exactly for that purpose, namely cleaning …

A friend of mine experienced exactly the same problem on his new Acer desktop PC a while ago. I saw the screenshots that he had sent me regarding this colour problem. I must admit that they are identical to yours, Eminutia. He had the problem on Red Alert 1 and Dosbox, if I recall correctly. He …

I am glad it worked for you as well, Oerg. :) I think that is the best overall solution at the moment. After switching to imgmount for all my cd-audio games, I definitely enjoy a smoother gameplay experience. ;) Sadly, some people still refuse to make an image copy of their classic game collection. …

Re: Help running DOOM IPX in DOSBox

Posted on 2008-09-15, 03:36

Yeah, it was a bad idea to mount it to a B drive. And yes, altering doom.exe to doomx.exe was even worse, as ipxsetup.exe tries to launch doom.exe or doom2.exe after it finds a node. Remember that it is always good practice to check dosbox's readme.txt out, plenty of useful information there. Or if …

Doom games use the following executables for network or modem/serial play. ====================== Ipxsetup.exe and sersetup.exe ====================== Those were never windows-only.
