Re: Vogons users, how do you deal with anxiety?

@Malik I agree with what you wrote, however, due to personal experience, I feel I must add something to that: - Not all doctors/psychiatrists/therapist are necessarily friendly or emphatic - Some of them have serious mental health problems themselves, probably due to long time contact/exposure to …

Though I admit, this forum is not for personal problems, people with similar hobbies like us with classic computing, also do have other problems. I suggest those who have problems with personal issues seek professional help . I'm from medical profession myself but I believe this is not the platform …

If you don't want it, please PM me. Instead of throwing into the bin, I would like to take it. Just let me know the shipping charge in the PM. Thanks.

Re: 3dfx glide msdos drivers needed

There are no MS-DOS 3dfx drivers. If you have the card, use the 3dfx executable. DOS games supporting 3dfx come with separate executable to use the card. If having a Voodoo2 card, you need to add some lines in the autoexec file. And finally, this thread is not for dosbox, but real DOS platform.

Thanks for advices. Now I know that I should stick to 'real' implementations. Do you know any place I can download MS/PC/DR-DOS and/or WfW 3.11 and/or Norton Utilities? It's very much readily available online. A simple Google search can take you there. If you still need help, you can send a PM. For …

I believe Smart Boot Manager has the option to enable the interrupt 13h to enable the full size of the hdd. You need to install it as the boot manager in that system, where it resides in the MBR and takes care of allowing resources to the OS. One of the links to SBM

I either narrow down to the SVGA Virge, TVGA 8900D or ET4000 "card" in 86Box. For me, I just require 640x480x256c in Win3.x for the games I want to play, and most do require or play best at this setting, and these cards run them without problems.

Re: Windows 3.1 will turn 30 soon

Windows 3.x will always be remembered fondly, for me. There's something about it that makes me feel warm and fuzzy over it. Maybe it's the GUI during the time when DOS was the king. Maybe the so called "multimedia" explosion that started with 3.1 - CD-ROMS with movies, graphics, texts and audio, …

Just noticed that some sites, including Mobygames, pass through maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com, which is being blocked here by the Multimedia Commission, why, I don't know. All the sites that pass through that site have problems loading. Any way I can bypass this block? Woops. My DNS servers were still …

Re: Happy Birthday, 80286!

I am proud to have been an owner (actually bought for me by my father) of the 286 back then. (It was 1991 IINM, or was it 1990?.....hmmm...) I got it late at the end of the 286 era with 386s just starting to appear. I remember it had the numerical LED alternating between 12 and 20, when Turbo off …

Mobygames site very slow?

Is it just my side or something happened to Mobygames website? It takes too long to load anything, and even if it did load, the loading is not complete and the text alignment is not correct. Is it just from my side or the Mobygames server? Been noticing this for the past few weeks. Not that I go …

I have the boxed game with the paper manual but I couldn't find the PDF manual online for my e-book game manuals library. I don't have the means or the proper equipment to make a PDF version of the manual. Any information regarding the availability of this PDF will be much appreciated. Thank you.
