Re: Windows 95 and CDs.

Posted on 2009-06-06, 12:19

I had the same problem with Mortal Kombat Trilogy in Win95. It too is a mixed mode CD. Neither Daemon Tools nor CloneCD would support the audio tracks on the image files. I had better success with an older version of Alcohol 120% (v1.4.7). Sometimes the audio would play, sometimes nothing. In XP it …

Re: Newbie USB question

Posted on 2009-06-06, 11:52

I have no problems running my games in DOSBOX 0.73 with my Logitech USB joystick. Wacky Wheels, Wolf3D, Primal Rage work fine so you shouldn't have any problems as long as it's properly installed in Windows. Incidentally MS Vitrual PC also works with USB joysticks - I have mine set up with MS DOS 6. …

Re: Getting better speed with FPSs in SVGA

Alternately you could try searching for SDL versions of those games. It's basically an add-on for certain games that enable playing them with DirectX /OpenGL support. I found SDL versions of Duke Nuk'em 3D, Doom, and Descent 2. I get higher resolutions (up to 1280x1024) and smooth rendering in …

Congratulations to the entire DOSBOX team on another fine build. Your continued efforts are greatly appreciated by those of us who like to reminisce. Those of us who actually had 386 era machines recall how much "fun" it was having to tune your system for specific games (loading device drivers high, …

Re: Fast Printing in Windows

Posted on 2009-06-01, 10:28

What part of this do you not understand? The cause of your problem is because: - DMPs print text fast. - DMPs print graphics awfully slow. - DMPs doesn't have much buffer memory. Your printer is slow. It will ALWAYS be slow. There is no software/driver to magically make it print text/graphics at the …

Re: 255D Disk?

Posted on 2009-05-08, 12:16

That means that game is probably meant to be read on a 1.2M drive. I started with an IBM XT and those came with either 160/180k singe-sided floppy drives or doube-sided 360k. When 80286 (AT) machines became more popular so did the 1.2M drives and more games were released on 1.2M floppies. If you can …

Re: FIFA Soccer 96 on Windows Vista

Also, I don't like my new Windows Vista very much. Can I downgrade my PC to windows XP or Windows 98 or Windows 95. I have all the CD at home to install these OSs. If you have a brand new PC that came with Vista the answer is probably a big fat NO. Go to your PC manufacturer's website and see if …

Re: Making one bootdisk behave as several?

Posted on 2009-04-21, 20:19

This was a big problem back in the days - you needed to have multiple copies of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS for various games or programs because of the limitation of the 640K memory barrier. MS-DOS 6 and higher addressed this issue with the multi-config option. You could have multiple …

Re: Installing GeoWorks Ensemble?

Posted on 2009-04-21, 18:35

I'm trying to install GeoWorks Ensemble 2.0 within DOSBox. I have five directories, each containing the contents of an install disk. I mounted the first disk as a floppy drive in DOSBox using these MOUNT parameters: I managed to get my disks back and when I attempted to install I ran into the same …

Re: Turok 2 in XP/Vista with Wrappers not working

Posted on 2009-04-15, 11:50

Game has always worked fine on the Intel integrated laptops from my tests, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista and Windows 2008. I can also confirm that Turok 2 Seeds of Evil works fine on the following rigs: Windows 98SE/ATI Rage 128 Pro Windows XP Pro SP3/ATI Radeon X200M …

Re: Underclocking Pentiums?

Posted on 2009-04-11, 21:25

I'm talking about WC1. I haven't played WC2 or 3 - yet. I tried WC1 on a Pentium II 400mhz and Pentium III 1.2ghz and it runs at warp speed, like taking an old fashioned movie projector and playing it at the fastest speed possible. It ran fine on the 486DX 33mhz I used to own though. Oddly other …

MiniMax I echo your sentiment. imachavel, we were all noobs at one point. You need to realize that there is a learning curve. I see a lot of posts here and in other forums that look like this: Plzzzz help me!!!! i put my disk in and game won't load!!!! what do i do next!!! i don want to read guides …

I'm all about nostalgia and re-living the good old days - that's what DOSBOX is all about! :happy: I'm just reading all the trouble oneirotekt is having so I'm trying to see if I can help him achieve the same end results with another shell/OS and less frustration. But then again he's a Linux user so …

Re: Retrogaming PC Suggestions

I'm a big fan of the Jet Fighter series - the last one I played was JF4. Those screenshots of Wings over Vietnam look pretty good though :happy: So my rig will be: An unknown make/model case with and unknown but possibly reliable 250-300W PSU An Intel Pentium 4 something-around-2ghz CPU 512 or 256 …
