Last evening I've spent a good few hours trying to get to the motherboard of my newly acquired 480CDT, but damn that thing is stubborn. Something is keeping the top of the laptop in place, and keeping me from checking out the battery connection (since batteries won't work) and replacing the failing …

Ha, I just picked up a 480CDT two days ago! It's a bit newer than but very similar to the 330CDT. Both have an MMX and a C&T 65555 graphics processor and the cases are as good as identical. You can check your full spec sheet on Toshiba's very own site . As for playing DOS games, according to this …

Great answers, thank you! I'm not experienced in soldering (at all), but I'll probably have a go anyway. Gotta learn sometime. adalbert wrote: if you want to solder a cable to a battery you should be either very careful Thanks for the warning. Seems I've got some work to do. Edit: no questions no …

After being inspired by the 8-Bit Guy I've been scouring the web for MS-DOS gaming laptops. There are quite a few available, but they often have used-up batteries. Of course, a laptop is nothing without its battery, so now I'm looking for a cheap way to replace one. Surprisingly batteries are still …

Actually the screen doesn't freeze but just closes, but either way, I'm not seeing a running DOSBox instance. So it's not the wrapper. I've tried the fixed cycles, no luck so far!

Dege, thanks for the reply. I ran the DOS version of the configurator, but alas, it was already configured properly. If the wrapper's not the issue, it must be the DOSBox or wrapper settings, because Glidos works fine. Glidos uses a modified DOSBox 0.73 with psVoodoo but other than that, it doesn't …

Hey guys, I'm trying to run Redguard with dgVoodoo 2.3 but haven't been succesful so far. Made a rather extensive topic about it here: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=38006 I'm trying to figure out if the problem lies with dgVoodo (or nGlide), the combination of dgVoodo and Windows 8 64- …

That explains a lot. I think I'll just drop the effort for now and play the game in XnGine mode. I'm still curious though, why the game works with Glidos but not the others. nGlide is supposed to support the game, and has been reported here to work perfectly under Windows 7 64-bit. That would mean …

So I found out Glidos actually works when using DOSBox. I've been avoiding it because it's paid, but it works, blue logo included. I'd very much like to figure out why the game runs with Glidos, but not with nGlide, dgVoodoo or in W98. If it's the wrapper itself, so be it, I'll have to buy Glidos. …

I've been trying to get Redguard to work in 3dfx mode for three or four days now, and I'm starting to run out of ideas. The game runs in software mode (XnGine) but not smoothly, which is why I want to play it with Glide. My config: 2. Core i7 2600K, 3. Corsair 8 GB DDR3, 4. Radeon HD6950, 5. Asus …
