Excellent so far thanks all. Anymore suggestions for action style DX/win9x games. Considering Quake 1/2 anybody else excited for Wrath: Aeon of Ruin? In early access right now and it looks Beautiful. But I'm cheap and hoping it will drop lower then $20 on a sale or full release.

If I remember back then It needs to be done in bios and the Motherboard was usually advertised or labeled to have core unlocking. If the option is not listed in Bios then It probably wont be possible without a custom/modified bios If at all.

Suggestions: Can you try in the dosbox config to change the joystick type. Do one that has more than 2 axis. Also possibly use the built in dosbox mapper. unmap anything to joystick and re-setup (tedious)

So no site in general to get Roms legally but In your specific case for doom 64 there is apparently a re-release coming up. https://www.vg247.com/2019/10/22/doom-64-pre- … s-doom-eternal/ EDIT: Willing to bet then you can get just Doom64 (switch only?) through somewhere online if not now, soon.

I really enjoyed Trine 1 (pirated actually) and I would say its worth it. Read about the way T3 going 3rd was not good for most fans. Then for Trine 2 I just skipped as my nephews I would play with were out of the house around then. Still I ended up Pre-ordering the Trine ultimate collection box to …

Some Retro Arch(retropie?) versions include dosbox.. Anything packaged in this that runs in dosbox itself should be fine to move over. just need to have retroarch autolaunch dosbox.

My vote would also be without the bios mod if its stable and not missing any features. I have an x5460 in a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P dropped in with no bios mod. Don't recall if SSE 4.1 is detected or working though.
