A little bit OT but ScummVM now supports the majority of SCI games, all the LSL's except 7.

Daft question, are you using DOS=HIGH in your config.sys? I used to run a config.sys of DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF DOS=HIGH FILES=30 BUFFERS=20 And autoexec.bat of @echo off c:\dos\smartdrv.exe 2048 c:\dos\lmouse With that setup I could get Ultima 7 and Serpent Isle to run ok.

I did try out the Realsound in Links, it was very impressive but I already had a soundblaster by then. I had the PC speaker routed through the connector on the SBPro for PCSPK; I had to make sure my amp was switched off while the computer booted, the POST bleep made be jump more than a few times : …

Hi Black_wolf Have you tried the tips in this thread? What problem are you having; any error messages?

dir /s same purpose No it doesn't, dir /s lists the contents of all subdirectories wheras dir/ad lists all the directories and not the files.

Easy mistake, you could type path= within real DOS 😉

Re: How much L2 cache does DOSBox use?
Posted on 2004-07-15, 23:40
Should make some difference, the bus speed is 333Mhz against 266. Make sure that your RAM is DDR333 or higher though! The better the quality of memory, the faster the memory timings you can use 😁 The L2 cache size would be doubled, so it should make a difference! 😉

You can use the forwardslash instead of backslash; they do exactly the same thing when used in path names. A throwback to MS ripping off Unix back in the day!
Re: Dos-Box does work with MS-DOS 5.0 keyboard driver!
Posted on 2004-07-10, 11:20
I think that if you use "mode con cp prep" you need to load display.sys in config.sys (which of course you cannot do within Dosbox!) Another way to load KEYB would be (assuming that you store the files in c:\drivers) c:\drivers\keyb uk,,c:\drivers\keyboard.sys (Obviously exchange the UK for your …
Re: Real newbie question regarding Dosbox/mt32
Posted on 2004-07-10, 11:09
There wasn't anything to configure at all, it just worked. It's possible that your ROM file is corrupt, can you check if it works on someone elses computer? Canadacow listed the MD5 checksum for the correct ROM file, it may be worth comparing yours with that. Good luck! http://www.vogons.org/ …

Don't use the Driver version of the emulator, it is very out of date. Use the Dosbox version. I could never get the driver to work anyway; same problem as you, no sound 🙁

You seem to miss the point of Dosbox Wickedsmoke; it emulates a complete PC, not just DOS; so it is completely independent of the platform it is run on. If DOSEMU works for you, what's the problem? The whole point is to be able to run your old games by some method is it not?

Since you are savvy with the SB and DOS I'm not sure whether this would be of help, but just in case ... http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=5611 CTCM never seemed to do anything worthwhile; I removed it from config.sys and everything seemed to work fine without it; this being with a sb16 pnp, …
