Only XP/Vista compatible. Windows 98 and 2000 users won't be very happy. Also, it seems it can run on Wine, but it's sloooow.

Re: Recommend a MIDI soft synth
Posted on 2008-08-25, 18:25
Well, I recommended Yamaha synths for old computers (Win95, Win98). Any computer capable of running XP will be happy with timidity++. Was S-YXG70 the synth in FF VII? I thought it was 50... I didn't install it, that time I had a Sound Blaster AWE64. FF VII had generic MIDI files, and two special …

If you are using Windows 95/98, you may try Roland Virtual Sound Canvas, or the Yamaha sound synths. Remember that you can find the synth in the install disk of Final Fantasy VII. If you have plenty of power, try timidity++ or fluidsynth. Timidity will run happily with the GUS sound banks, but don't …

It seems to me that he has a driver that supports some keys to rotate the screen, and some of those keys are the same that dosbox uses.
Re: DOS memory management discussion
Posted on 2008-08-18, 17:34
No, it's not right. Both XMS and EMS refers to the memory above 1mb. EMS was the first specification to allow use of memory above 1mb, and allow even 8086 to access more than 1mb (but in this case, requires special memory boards to allow it). EMS "pages" extra memory somewhere betweern 640 and 1 mb …

Re: Interlnk
Posted on 2008-08-05, 17:33
Dosbox no soporta drivers de dispositivo, y creo que no lo soportará. Si vas a insistir en usar interlnk/intersvr, deberías usar un disco de arranque DOS. El problema es que DOS no soporta FAT32 ni NTFS (aunque no estoy seguro de si el DOS que lleva Windows 98 dejaría usarlos), así que la mejor …

You need to run tmsynth (the synthetizer) and midiyoke (to plug the MIDI output to the input of tmsynth).
Re: How to identify an unknown (and generic, cheap) sound card on your PC?
Posted on 2008-07-03, 19:51
I use PCI tools only when booted in real DOS, so I don't care if it locks the computer. But there's another problem: most motherboards don't show what their sound chips are. I guess that's related to sound bridges and AC97 codecs, so I prefer to open the computer and look directly to the chip. Also, …

Is an ISA or PCI card? If it is PCI, go to http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/downloads.htm an download PCI or PCI32 and the lastest PCIDEVS.TXT. It should tell you what sound card is. If it is an ISA card, there are plenty of hardware detector programs. Also, you can try reading the FCC ID in …
Some thoughts about protections, game contents and distribution
Posted on 2008-06-21, 12:43
Lately, I've been buying, installing, and patching some games, and I want to know what do you think about protections and the game bussiness. As a player, the best protection for me is no protection, and the best pricing is free. Obviously, if the game is free, there will be no losses due to piracy …
Re: Diablo II & LOD v1.12a official No-CD patch

Yep, I have legal CDs of both games and expansions (one bought back in the day, Starcraft bought as a cheaper re-release. I wrote that because it's not like they're giving away the game (as EA did with C&C), it's more like they're throwing away the annoyance of having a CD in the drive. It's more …
Re: Diablo II & LOD v1.12a official No-CD patch

Some things to have in mind... - It is only a No-CD patch. That means that if you have a valid license, you'll be able to install Diablo II & LOD, get the patch and play it without the CD. - You'll need the CD Key, though. And, of course, two people with the same CD Key won't be able to play on …

No en dos puro, ni la Voodoo Banshee ni la Voodoo 3 tenían drivers Glide para DOS. Para ejecutar Tomb Raider en ese equipo, la mejor opción es instalarlo y ejecutarlo desde un Windows 9x. Instala Tomb Raider o el Unfinished Business, instala el parche para cualquiera de las Voodoo y después copia …
