Yes that distinction is important. If you think PC only means IBM PCs then, no, C64 does not count. But if you consider that it stands for personal computer then a C64 counts. And Apple's computers, too (even though Apple tried hard to make the distinction back then with the PC and Mac guy ads).

And yes, it's probably not going to work. You can't just throw stuff in a dll and expect it to work. You can change things (keeping in the constraints of the unchanged file) but adding is mostly not going to work.

Great! But,hmm, should I move this to the patches forum? While not a direct patch, it might still fit better in there... thoughts?

@Ny: I had no time to test but does your patch play well with the very recent SVN change to allow OpenGl shaders?

I suggest writing this in an extra thread in the development forum. The devs might not follow this thread closely

yes, of course, it is hard when there is only one item having been sold in the search results but if there were more you can do an educated guess why some have been sold for much more 😀

If you look at ebay, you need to use the advanced search and look for SOLD pieces. This tells you the prices people are actually buying at, not those the sellers hope to get 😉

Funny thing I noticed with the changed mousecursor on OS X. When I'm slowly creeping towards the left edge and wait a fraction once the cursor changes to the window-size-changer and then move on, the cursor stays the way Vogons changed it to...

I wonder if you understood what I meant, because if you did it would be interesting to me what you think the difference in helpfulness is.

But is there a way to make Dosbox or any other Dos emulator more like a one click console emulator? Leaving the technical things out of the equation (yes it could use a gui to set things up) I don't quite see it unless you provide the games.
