Re: Config.sys and autoexec.bat for Dos 7.1

Posted on 2024-04-05, 12:22

I used to believe you only need a single config, and all those menus are redundant. That's because I got 620K free RAM with XMS, EMS and all TSRs I wanted, in a single config. However, as was mentioned here, I later learned that a lot of success with UMBs and EMS depends on your system - chipset, …

Re: Dosbox potentially affected by backdoor

Posted on 2024-04-01, 12:07

Safe to file this as FUD as far as DOSBox is concerned. liblzma is not a direct dependency, and analysis has shown that the backdoor is targetted at sshd: In the malicious code, the library checks argv[0], which is the name of the program being executed, for /usr/bin/sshd . Additionally it seems to …

I have never gotten around to actually playing Heroes 4 or 5, but from a basic glance and also based on some evidence - it seems that H4 tried to change the gameplay formula drastically. Some liked it, many did not, and therefore H5 largely went back to the gameplay mechanics of the original …

The final mission, where you have both a Terran and a Protoss base, was pretty challenging, but not nearly as much as missions 7 and 8. I mostly used the Terran base for defense and mining, while I built up a fleet of 15 Carriers in the Protoss base. Again, I had to slowly expand and draw the …

There isn't any upper memory available in any of the screenshots I've seen so far. It might be something that can be solved with a simple addition of RAM parameter to EMM386. DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM AUTO

Going randomly through episode 2 of Wolfenstein 3D , since it is game of the month at DOS Game Club. All the enemies are hitscanners and are lethal at close range. You must use gratuitous save/load or learn the levels by heart (which I have neither the time nor the interest to do). I recently …

It took me so long to finish StarCraft ( + Brood War ), that I had already forgotten the early stuff, but I do remember liking it a lot, lore and all. I didn't start by reading the manual, possibly because there was no physical booklet in my copy of the Battle Chest , so perhaps I missed a good deal …

Seconded. While I'm willing to continue with spinning disks as primary drives in old systems, as long as they live, I see no reason to go with anything that's not an SSD, if I am to buy one now.

Small box but with a special significance (to me). Got this today in a bundle of other small box games. TBH This was the main one I waited. Silent Hill 2 Directors Cut PC is a hard to get game in general, and generally considered the best way to play it on modern hardware (using the Enhanced …

Correct, games that require more refined steering would probably benefit from an analog-capable input device. In contrast, a keyboard is well enough for NFSII and most probably NFSIII. I'd really like to give the first NFS a go with a steering wheel though, the problem is I can't get it to run …

NFSIII doesn't really strike to me as something where a steering wheel would help, maybe it's making things harder for you even if using it is fun. Could be, NFSIII is pedal to the metal 99% of the time, so a keyboard is more than adequate to win I guess. Still, I'm hell-bent on beating it with a ( …
