Re: FreeDOS vs. OpenDOS

Ok, let's say almost all PCI soundcards. Ensoniq and Creative earlier PCI sound cards have some compatibility... some buggy and crashy compatibility. Also, I remember that my Athlon motherboard had hardware compatibility with Sound Blaster (it had a VIA sound chip). Unless you manage to buy a …

Rivatuner has the option, but in my system it's greyed... - Rivatuner 2.02 - Windows XP SP2 - Geforce 7900GS, using drivers 163.71 I don't know if it is because newer drivers will ignore this option, or because my Rivatuner doesn't have the settings database for my drivers (it says so when it starts …

Just read this link... http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/03/29/creative-driver-debacle Some time ago I was thinking of replacing my SB Live!, and I wanted to know alternatives to creative, because X-Fi didn't catch my eye. Now it seems that if I want a good card with stable drivers …

I miss the troubleshooting eight ball found in the site of the creators of Bleem... does anybody knows where can I find one of those?

What about including Kernelex and the generic usb mass storage drivers for Windows 98? I find that VERY useful... also, there are some generic Bt878 drivers (outdated since they probably won't work in Vista, and analog TV is dying). Some webs...

Back to topic... historically, I think the first guys that used malware as a mean to control the spread of the copies of their programs (note that I dont say as a mean of copy protection), were these guys.

There were various kind of protections. One of my games, Inner Space for Windows 3.x, has an install floppy. When you install it, the game sets a bit on the floppy depending on the c:\ drive serial or so and on the installed exe as well. When you want to install it on another computer you need to …

I think that any opinion is acceptable, but after being explained. The author may be a dick, but I think you'll have to explain why.

Maybe you'll want to try GLQUAKE (probably, you already have that executable). DosFreak's suggestion is a greatly enhaced game engine for quake, but if you want "pure" quake, you must get used to really BIG dots.

Re: Playing lengthy DOS games...

Probably, lengthy games have their own save feature. Back in time, people used the save feature included in the games, or finished the games in a shot. Maybe, you would try GW32 (it has a Status save feature), but I don't know if it works inside DOXBox. Or you can try VMWare (can save the status of …

OK, today I've tried h-a-l's dosbox. No problems. Now I'm awaiting to see if calculations are performed properly (I don't know if the program needs a coprocessor or not). Thanks to DOSBox Team, h-a-l and all of you!

Tested with ntdelay. Doesn't work. I think userport is only for Windows apps, but I'll try, too. The dongle is gone (at least until next monday), so I won't try nothing until then.

I'll try DOSBox, but I have a question. Is there any option to ensure that fixed point math and float point math are as accurate as in a real processor? I've read a post about some float point problems, and the program needs to calculate structures.

Because my boss is a sucker and want to see it working within XP 🙁 Digging in the forum, I've found something about ntdelay... I'll check it on monday. I'll check VMWare with FreeDOS, but I don't know if VMWare would grant direct access to hardware.
