Should be moved to DOSBOX forum? Anyhow, If the mac build of Dosbox has the same configuration file structure, then it should have a [sblaster] section, which sets all the parameters and explains what they mean. Then for the game(s) you run inside Dosbox, you need to run the setup program (if exists …

I evangelized the heck out of Windows 10 when it first came out. I had access to use the beta. When it came out, it was great. It was stable as a rock, it never crashed, the early updates were high quality - they even had a "Experience Portal" where you could submit bugs and issues and request …

Well, my retro rigs are off most of the time, so they are naturally also off line . :D But if it's running XP or newer, then when it's on, it's also online. I don't subscribe to the fear that just because the OS in no longer supported by Microsoft, it will immediately become infected with 100 …

Hi and welcome to the forum. As far as I could find, "Soccer Management Simulator" is indeed a Windows 3.x game... You can run get Windows 3.x to run in DOSBOX, but it is not free software (Windows; not sure about this game itself), and VOGONS has a policy against supporting software not legally …

Other weird quirks are that the motherboard has 2 SATA controllers.  A VIA one, and a Promise one.  The sata disc drive is only successfully detected by the VIA sata controller, and the Intel SSD is only successfully detected by the Promise SATA controller.  Go figure. One advantage of Intel 478 …

Ahh, I thought it was a frontend of some sort. If it helps more people into the DOSBox community I'm all for it.Configuration is the most difficult part of DOSBox, lowering that bar certainly will allow more people to enjoy it. A few weeks ago I helped a friend setup PSX emulation through RetroArch …
