For Windows games, i'm using a workflow that works amazingly well. I'm installing the games on a test machine, and then scan the file system/registry for any changes (there's tools to do this). This is an interesting approach. Please tell me more. As i understand it, the reason you can't simply …

I am almost finished setting up my Acer Aspire One with all my old games, and now that I've got things running as smooth as possible, I would like to buy another one of these little beauties and duplicate everything onto it. Naturally certain issues will have to be changed regardless (like host / …

I finally got around to trying the latest version. Thanks for the ipxnet support! Now I don't have to set my profiles to read only (or make batch files...yet) I would like to continue working on import/export functionality. But I need more information to make sure that most users won't be …

Dang Thanksgiving week! I'll have to try it when I get back.

From Windows XP > Dosbox > Windows 3.1 > Atari 2600 I had this trio of 3.5's that came with the Atari 2600 Action Pack collection of Activision classics. It used WinG , so I broke out my Windows 3.1 diskettes and installed it under Dosbox. I had a problem trying to directly install the game under …

I could barely read when they stopped using this stupic computer-system! Hey! Show some respect ya whippersnapper! that "stupid computer system" is the reason we have all these great games to play. And now, a poem: In days of yore, eight bits a byte, Computer screens were black as night, When …

Wahoo! I guess I'll hold off on customizing other ipx games until then. @MiniMax: That sounds like a good idea. What I was doing was setting the profiles to Read Only mode as a workaround. I should refresh my knowledge on making batch files.

Um, a tiny issue: any time I change the profile, the [autoexec] parameters lose any changes I made. May I humbly request that this *not* happen?

Responding to my own post as an update: I figured out how to tweak the individual .conf files for Doom 2 (and now Quake) to reduce the profiles needed. On the computer that will host, for the Doom 2 (multiplayer) profile, I added: [autoexec] mount c "DOOM2" ipxnet startserver C: cd \ SETUP.EXE exit …

To quote the Three Stooges: SUCCESS! SUCCESS! I finally got T7G (original DOS version 1.24 05/11/93) working under Dosbox perfectly, no CD running and still hearing the intro music. I used Alcohol %52 to create an image of Disc One. That created a 704MB bin file. Disc Two kept stalling at 26.1%, so …

Not sure if this helps, but I ran into a similar situation recently. On two Windows XP computers, I was trying to run Doom 2. I could run either one with IPXNET STARTSERVER or tunnel to each other using IPXNET CONNECT 192.168.1.x, but the game never started. Turns out I had forgot to enable... …

Phew, I just read through the entire thread to try and soak in the work on this program. I've been dying to jump into setting up a dedicated computer to store and run my old games flawlessly. I bought a shiny Acer Aspire One to do just this. :happy: I set up my first profile for Doom 2 , but I seem …

Hmm, I am having a similar error with "The 7th Guest". Although I hear the music coming from the CD just fine when playing the game, it won't record the cd audio with the Dosbox capture tool. Would setting the cdrom switch from -ioctrl to -noioctrl affect this? What does -noioctrl do? Thanks in …

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, I believe you are correct, the music is coming from the CD. So, if this is the reason CTRL+ALT+F5 will not capture the sound, then pardon my ignorance, would this not qualify as an exception to try something else? :smug: I would love it if the Dosbox capture utility …

Hello all, I am having trouble trying to record a movie from "The 7th Guest". Using fraps, the video immediately slows down to unacceptable levels. Using the Dosbox capture utility, the game speed is fine but it does not record the music in the opening cinematic (during the logo and credits). Is …
