Type in HELP and then it's FIXMBR or FIXBOOT IIRC. Been a long time since I played around with recovery console.

Well yeah, Opengl eats up more cycles than Surface/Overlay/Ddraw by alot. At least it does on my ATI. Simply load up DosBox and Task Manager and switch between different output methods and monitor DosBox processor usage to determine which output method has the least usage of processor cycles.

That does bring up a question I've been meaning to ask..... How far can Dynarec in DosBox go? I've been meaning to perform extensive benchmarking comparing NTVDM to DosBox but I haven't got around to it yet.

for Windows games that use DirectDraw yeah.....for DOS games it works well too but you'll get crappy sound. Better than nothing tho which is what we had before DosBox came along.....

Boulder Dash 1,2 (Booter) + Dynamic mode
Posted on 2005-10-24, 02:21
Obviously your not going to want to run this game in Dynamic mode but I was testing out Dynamic mode compatibility today and noticed that Boulder Dash wouldn't work in Dynamic mode (works fine in Normal). You have to press the SHIFT key to start the game. Under Normal core this functions properly, …

I've heard about that but it sounded odd since Ultima and FF don't even go together so I thought mabye someone stuck FF and Ultima on one CD/DVD or something. 😉

You can ask for help in getting files for your games on boards but any links to such files will be deleted and the thread will be closed. All such communications should be private. As for "my" warez idea. I'm glad it pisses you off. It pisses me off that dumb ***** can't read the bottom of the damn …

uhhh...2mb is plenty of memory. 1024x768x8/8=786,432 bytes. AFAIK, Magic Carpet 2 uses 256 colors which is 8bit. @ 16bit color it's 786,432x2=1,572,864....which as you can see is far less than 2mb. and MG2 only uses 640x480 so memory amount is of course not your problem. Magic Carpet 2 runs fine @ …

Re: DOSBox GUI
Posted on 2005-10-21, 01:56
Another thing is......how often would this be used? We already have frontends and DosBox has been designed with frontends in mind. Wouldn't any built-in interface therefore be inferior to external frontends? Also instead of focusing on DosBox's main goal of compatibility we would also have to devote …
Re: Daggerfall CD Issues
Posted on 2005-10-21, 01:43
Yeah, DosBox only shows about 110mb of space for older games. You need to use the -freesize (mb) parameter. EX: Mount c c:\ -freesize 500 for 500mb of free space.

The Daggerfall installation in XP uses some weird video access. There was some 3rd party utility I had to use to get it to install, it may also work with the vgafix utility which modifies XP's VGA.SYS to allow proper video access (haven't tried it with Daggerfall tho). Since I can't remember the …
