GTA1 comes with the 3dfx 1 driver standard installed. Make sure your 3dfx installation path is in your PATH environment variable (if you have installed your 3dfx 2 drivers in for instance C:\3dfx, add the line PATH=C:\3dfx;%PATH% in C:\autoexec.bat), and delete the glide2x.ovl file(s) in your GTA1 …

What exactly are you talking about? http://threeclicks.com/powertoys.htm A part of Powertoys, TweakUI, gives you the option to configure Windows 98 to boot directly to real DOS instead of Windows. Oh, TweakUI! I guess I forgot that was included on the Windows 98 CD (but it was ). Anyway, all it …

With this sound card you can even enable wavetable emulation! Which sounds neat with Duke3d (in setup, choose AWE32 to enable this) ESS1688 isn't a Sound Blaster AWE32/64, and you're probably thinking of General MIDI -> Microsoft Synthesizer As I read it somewhere, there was a DOS program that …

3com's 3+menus
Posted on 2012-04-11, 20:12
Hello all, In the days of yore I used this menu system. It was a menu system that was part of the 3+Open/Share system, a precursor of MS LAN manager. It has sentimental value to me but I can't find it anywhere on the net, only that it's total and utter abandonware. Anyone still has it/knows where to …
Re: "Pure" DOS benefits over Windows MS-DOS Mode?
Posted on 2012-04-11, 20:05
I haven't faced incompatibilities yet in win'98 booted in dos mode, even very old xt games that don't have speed issues, work on it like a charm. Or configuration-hell games like Turrican II works like a charm.
Re: USB keyboard driver for DOS?
Posted on 2012-02-21, 22:14
I have used quite some new (Logitech, Microsoft, Trust) keyboards with a USB->PS/2 converter and they all did work fine (also with things like ctrl-alt-del). However, I've had a hard time finding a mouse that works with the PS/2 port.

Does anyone know here about "3+ menus" (or "+3 menus")? I can't find it anywhere on the net 😖

Does anyone know (where to find) a menu system called "+3 menus" (or it might have been called "3+ menus". I used it 'back in the days' and I'd love to have it back. I'd be so grateful 😀

Must have been my motherboard, I resurrected another motherboard from death and now both sound cards work nicely, with the very same settings 😀

No, I missed that :s-face: I have used StarCommander in real DOS mode for transferring images to my commodore drive; which it actually successfully did. I think I could as well have opted for the XE version, or indeed perhaps better so, but that's hindsight now :S (besides, I've ordered a ZoomFloppy …

No it can't be a conflict, I tried multiple IRQ and DMA settings, It seems to me the DMA has become flaky. Besides it was all suddenly wrong from one day to the other. About when I used my XM1541.
I fear I blew up my GUS and/or motherboard
Posted on 2011-07-11, 20:49
I soldered myself an XM1541 cable and used it to transfer C64 files to disk with StarCommander. After a while I played BlackThorne, and the SFX were mostly screeching sounds. And I didn't have music on my sound blaster, and sounds were as well screeching in BlackThorne. I noticed that I had left my …

Well, that, and an original IBM xt (and a couple of other retro machines like the Apple IIGS, Sam Coupe and Acorn Archimedes) But for now, I think it's time to thoroughly enjoy them old goodies! 🤣 But soon......

Strange thing is, I checked my DOSBOX configuration on my win7 pc and it stated the gravis ultrasound was enabled. Perhaps the PNP part of the ACE is a bit fishy? As far as I could see no SBOS was loaded btw. but I have to recheck that I think.
