Re: Bought these games today

So buying means you didn't get them off Ebay? Where would you find those kinda games nowadays? Flea Market?
Re: Paypal and ScummVM
Posted on 2006-09-03, 18:51
This is bad news, although it doesn't come as a surprise. PayPal doesn't seem to be the place where the customer is valued. Sadly, there are few alternatives. The interesting thing is how Big Business is trying to secure the market for mobile game remakes. The big game series, those that are well …

Re: Direct serial port working
Posted on 2006-08-19, 10:53
I've attached logs from both Warcraft and Command and Conquer. Seems Warcraft doesn't produce errors. Don't be confused by the log, I switched the serial configuration on the fly for no apparent reason. With respect to lag, I was rather referring to the modem connection, for which game programmers …
Re: Direct serial port working
Posted on 2006-08-19, 07:28
It's still the same "Internal error in serial port(1)". I tried C&C and Warcraft and they work, but the error is still there. Btw, you said that if a game supports IPX, one should prefer that option over modem. But is the modem connection not more lag-resistant than an IPX connection (with respect …

Perhaps you can post the games which you tried and which didn't work with the current modem implementation. Maybe this will help Hal refine the code.

I was using your build. The .diff you posted, is this the whole new code against the CVS? The name bugfix would then be a bit misleading 😉 EDIT: I noticed you first posted the patch and then the bugfix. So I should apply both patches?

Thanks a lot, Hal! Great update, especially that you made Stunt Driver work. So far it seemed like it would never work. It still doesn't work with modem, but that's not important now. I noticed that there are a lot of error messages: "Internal error serial port(1)" regardless of the game I use. Do …
Re: Dynamic Disc Overlay on 286?
Posted on 2006-07-01, 14:47
Thanks for the tip, but I tried it again with some older version of Ontrack's Disk Manager and it worked. I can see no speed difference, the Quantum Fireball is lightning fast for a 286 anyway. The video card seems to be the main bottleneck now. I wonder though if there are any games that could …
Dynamic Disc Overlay on 286?
Posted on 2006-06-30, 20:15
Today I tried to make my Quantum Fireball (1280MB) work in my old 286. That is - it worked well until I copied too much stuff on it and encountered problems due to the 528 MB limit. So I thought that maybe Ontrack's Disc Manager may help, but I didn't get to install it because I had only Seagate …

The other way around would probably be easier...

It's great. Keep Icons simple, and that is what it does. Without looking boring, that is.

Yes, that looks really good. I think it could even do without the "dosbox" text.

Nice. Have you already been to other places of Cyrodiil? I'd like to see some pics from the landscape (not forests, those were covered enough). There were some grassy hills in one of the trailers and I'd like to know if there is snow in the north. To my knowledge, mountains still look just like big …
Greatest Role-playing Game of 2006? (i.e. Oblivion Thread)
Posted on 2006-03-25, 14:33
As reading the forums on other sites (mostly theelderscrolls.com) is rather depressing (forum topics: teh greatest game eva!; oblivion sucks big times; is it just me?), I would like to here opinions from our civilized Vogons community here. Particularly, I'm interested in gameplay related topics …
Re: DOSBox Icon
Posted on 2006-03-18, 22:37
Well "C:\" has become an abstract symbol which is understood by people of all languages who have dealt with DOS. It's almost synonymous with DOS so that the interpretation is obvious. Whole program names in the icon are something entirely different. I agree with Reckless: at least if you look at the …
Re: Wobbly sound in latest CVS build?
Posted on 2006-03-05, 23:18
Hmm, handling the sound so it stays synchronized seems to be quite a problem. I'm not entirely against the new method, since short slowdowns may not be as annoying as skips. However, the sample from Colonization shows that perhaps the solution is not yet optimal. Though Colonization seems to be …

Well I hope there will be some comments since I wrote it quickly and there may be errors or things confusing newbies.

Directserial and Modem Guide

As many users have problems setting up directserial/modem connections, here's a short guide to getting Dosbox talk to the outside world. Since directserial/modem support is still being updated regularly, you need a recent CVS, links can be found in the Dosbox Development Forum (For the most recent …
