Hello there Vogons People,
I just tought I might tune in to share my toughts the "ideal" oldgames PC. For a start I use and love the DOS.Box emu for a quick fix of good old gaming.
But sometime I felt like this was not sufficient - so I started to sink lots of time (like painting the desktopcase black, installing stuff etc.) and some money into a real DOS machine.
So I'll just share the monentary 'specs - if you diagree or just want to share your opionion just do so.. 😀
P1 133Mhz downclocked to 100Mhz for compatibility reasons
32Mb of RAM (DOS can't adress more RAM - afaik)
Some S3 Trio V64+ PCI VGA card - 2MB VRAM
+Some Noname VooDoo 1 card with 4MB
Soundblaster 16 ISA ASP w/o Plug&Play (with volume Dial on back 😁)
+Yamaha DB50XG daughter board
Roland LAPC-I
40GB Hdd that I painfully chopped up into 2GB chunks.
Mitsumi 8x CD-ROM Drive
Running Dos 6.22 / Win95 dualboot
On the problem with some games requiring D: to be your cdrom drive - I think you could just 'subst' the drive letters - can you?
Edit : Forgot the VooDoo card oops
