Re: Please explain about virtual machines

Posted on 2012-11-22, 10:52

I use virtual machines to play older games just like you, especially Windows 9x games and 2000/XP games. Well, VMWare workstation 7, did have the black borders and it filled the screen just like VMWare Workstation 9. With borders on both sides. What I would like to see is something like Virtualbox's …

Thank you for your explenation. It is much appreciated. It made clear unanswered questions to me.About the second monitor and VRAM, I know that VMWare is just a program, but what counts is the result and what the host gpu "understands" when the Virtual Display appears. Thanks for helping me to make …

I have experimented for a long time with virtual machines with various apps like vmware,vpc,virtualbox and i have found out that the host graphics card is indeed used by the virtual machine although it is not passed through.I mean when a game is running inside the vm the gpu core shows great …

I have searched a little bit around to see if there are any DOSBox frontends comparable to D-Fend Reloaded. Well, there ae not any! That's why it is important to support the work that Alexander does. I have switched back to the 1.1 version and I will wait for the sevice 1.2 release next week.

The VMs are just there in order to run older Windows! Of course they will support Windows XP, just like now that they support Windows 9.x. Just try a non 3D game in VMware and you will see how great it is working.

VMware or Virtual Box may not have 3D acceleration support for Windows 9x, but at least VMware supports it officialy. VMWare has a 3D acceleration feature for Windows 2000 and above. They do install and run just fine. But i think that if one day DOSBox manages to support Windows 9x there will be a …

Re: Help with installing 7th guest on vista

You have to run the windows patch in windows 95 compatibility mode! This is what i did in Windows XP and it runs perfectly. It should work with Windows Vista too. I did it this way: 1) Installed the game with DOSBox 2) Copied the patch in the installed game folder 3) set the patch in Windows 95 …

Hi Alexander! I have downloaded and tried the beta version of D-Fend reloade .8.0. What i am mostly interested in are the basic changes for the usage with DOSBox 0.73. Great work really! However there is an option which i do not really understand. In the Drive mounting section of the Setup Wizard …

I know that there are many changes :happy: But the grafics-issue was the most important i think.The cycles worked fine for me in the games that i tested, sound too. I also tested other games which run problematically with older versions of DOSBox and they run like a charme with D-Fend Reloaded and …

Hi Alexander!D-Fend Reloaded v.0.8.0 is needed sooner as expected :happy: You see, the new supported graphic-modes ( the simple vga support was simply not enough any more) and the improved core emulation mode are making the release of the new d-fend reloaded version more than necessary. It will be …

Re: DOSBox 0.73 Discussion

I wanted to report tha Jack Orlando DOES run indeed with DOSBox 0.73 and without any tweaking with additional VESA drivers. This game is just a good exercise to understand how do the new supported graphic modes work. In order to get the game working i had to do the following... 1) I installed the …
