Do NOTuse FreeDOS Edit. There is a program named Star Commander. It is OSS (but under a weird license). Maybe not include in Z: but provide in "util" folder, with installer's DOSbox.conf mounting "util" as Y:. Or, add Elvis with a tutorial. Generally, it could be an "extras" package - drive images, …

There's a problem, slowness in entering fullscreen mode if Fullresolution=Desktop. Also, problem changing between screen sizes in fullscreen. (in case of "original" fullresolution, the slowness only applies to transitioning between modes that have width 640)
Re: CGA 4 color mode - why CMYK?
Posted on 2012-11-27, 08:21
Software gets slower more rapidly than hardware gets faster... due to bloat! That's why I'm diggin' it backwards! I see the modern slowpokes and wonder: WHY all the bloat? As of CGA, it was an AWKWARD device, but I can clearly see two different "brightness modes" where the mode is defined by …

The big idea is - using blue as an intensity bit for monochrome monitors.

I found that, though I had to purge the .ACC elements, OpenGEM is more reliable with GEM/3's fixed 2-pane desktop (all 4 "desktop" files taken from GEM 3.10d), than with GEM1/Mac-like desktop. What could possibly lead to this?

What you missed in CFG (and what I fixed) were desktop, checkbox and radio button, and making the Close button into the X letter.

Is that thing not compiled or what? .c, .h files...
OpenGEM

Could someone make me a Gem.cfg that would make OpenGEM have Win95-like colors, or an easy colorset editor? I'm comparing various desktops for DOSbox, and one bad aspect of OpenGEM is the color scheme.
Re: Why emulate? just why?
Posted on 2012-02-10, 02:42
That's it. Kill the thread now. But note that there exists some hardware with built-in emulation (ranging from almost good to half-butted). Half-btted one is SUBINI S680DT having a NES emulator. Joystick quickly stopped working properly (port fault) and only half of games really loaded. Though, from …

Win31 glitch on 0.74
Posted on 2012-02-06, 19:52
DOSbox 0.74 win31 When NOT mounted, A: drive IS shown - but when MOUNTED, it's not. What's wrong?

A person may not want to use 2 machines. Alternatively, DOSboxing win31 can be a workaround since WINE is a PITA.

Maybe I should try using the CD versions of both AB and TA? Maybe those would have it fixed?

I'm on DOSbox 0.74 official... oh, just checked, still reports dos 5. Well, I'm uncertain then... Another fix is to disable EMS+XMS+UMB, but that's probably not recommended. I have trouble with dos 5 reported even without sound. It's 7-x64.

Done, posted an entry, only with the easier of the two fixes.

It was a 1997 PC, upgraded as much as possible.

AC'97
Posted on 2012-01-12, 08:58
From 2002 (when I got a PC), up to 2008 I was using an old PC, 633MHZ CPU, 256MB RAM... do I remember it correctly that DOS games recognize AC'97 as "Sound Blaster + MT32"? I even used to use one game's setup to figure settings for another game without autodetection...

Why move? It's not a help request, it's a tip to others who might have the same issue 😐
