Dosfreak is right... Even the GIMP (Free graphic editing suite) will give better results in resizing a picture than scanning at a low resolution. Besides, it's easier to edit a big picture with detail, then scale down, and edit to clean up or define things that need it...

I haven't been able to find this functionality built in, but it seems as if it should be a simple extension... Have you checked the extension pages for Firefox?

I think the Tandy graphics and sound detection need some work... I've attempted to run the "Jumpman" disassembly project on Dosbox, and it only runs CGA as opposed to the PCjr/Tandy mode. Likewise, "The Slugger" by MasterTronic at RetroGrade Station is a game I remember playing in Tandy color on my …

Abandonware is not synonymous with legal. Abandonware is essentially piracy of a program that's old enough to get away with... If it were legal, it would be called freeware - such as "Beneath a Steel Sky"... Dungeon Keeper Gold is on Underdogs. Look here: http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id= …
Re: How do you run DOSBox on Fedora Core 3?
Posted on 2005-05-26, 23:05
any terminal in X should work. I'm assuming you have a "Windows-Like" interface.... if you're in text mode, try running "startx". "xterm" is the command for Xterm, however you can use KDE's Konsole, or E-Term, or whatever terminal you like... That's the beauty of Linux!

Would the -size option be of use here? or is that for hard drives only?

Slackware isn't really designed for beginners. IIRC, Slack is text-based interface by default. You need to make sure that the XOrg X Server installed. You will also need to make sure you have all the required libraries used. This may be a lengthy list, but I have no idea, because I currently use …

Adlib is a sound card (Brrand name) which uses FM synthesys in order to create Music. MIDI is Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI can be played back on an AdLib, with the right software. Adlib does not necessarily need MIDI to output sound though... Adlib was a standardized interface to …

Make sure you get a real SB16 - So called "Soundblaster Compatibles" are not the same hardware. People who want more sound quality but a few more hassles will get a Gravis UltraSound. SB AWE32/AWE64 are also excellent gaming cards of the era, but can cause some hassles with Soundfonts. If you've got …

AFAIK, DirectX 9.0 should access the driver, not the other way around. DirectX is an API. The drivers should contain the hooks for DirectX to tie in to, but that should mean having extra unused hooks in the driver, not mandatory tie-ins to something that isn't there out of the box, for most …

there are a few with both interfaces (My old Okidata OL400e had both), but there were issues with the serial printing - it wasn't as robust. It's also slower... Which is why I suggested an emulator - but I don't know if any exist...
