For some unknown reason, my (almost) four years-old daughter loves this game so much, especially the in-game music. In any case, the cheat code is RATTY RAT RATTY. , and is entered after pressing ESC to access the in-game menu during a mission. It's a pretty good game overall, and you can find a …

I‘d like to hijack this: what‘s the best way of running/installing this game? Download an image for the archive? Install a few patches? What‘s the best version for a w98 sys? Any input appreciated. Best bet is get it from Ebay or look to flea markets and etc. Don't bother with "black market" it's …
Re: New(ish) LED monitors for DOS? Any good (criteria for 'good' specified in post)?

I'm happy with my Dell 2007fp which has been recommended multiple times on this forum. No it's not perfect but compared to my Acer 19" 5:4 model it's much sharper for DOS games. For me it's either that or bite the bullet and spend hundreds on a CRT from ebay and pray that Fed-Ex or UPS doesn't play …

Indoor flea markets have been good to me in the past where used "gems" were found. Outside of that it's been ebay and GOG. Oh how I miss Electronics Boutique!

How about 8 Pentium IIs a Pentium 3 and a unknown board without the cover for ...27 bucks. Dont know yet how many work or what models but if only half of them work then its worth the gamble. (I have several bashed up SECC modules and they still work, damn things are near impossible to kill unless …

PC football is what got me into computers in the first place. Remember back in 1994 playing Konami NFL on my bro's Packard Bell, think he got tired of my "frequent visits" 😁. In 1996 got my own pc which was a 133hz. pentium "no name" brand. Eventually installed Sierra's Front Page Sports Football …

One of the few things I was still looking for is a Slot1 or S370 Board in Baby AT-format. I finally found one: Gigabyte GA-6VA7+. According to the seller unused, so I hope it still works. Nice board, wonder how the sound is for DOS games with the ISA slots? Like to get one myself until I saw the …

Is the main DOSBox-X web page going to have a new release soon? I didn't read anywhere that the release schedule changed. thanks. The main developer has been busy with his actual work, and one of the other developers stepped down, so that leaves a bit of a gap. But there are nightly releases you …

I picked up a Dell Studio XPS 435T/9000 at my local thrift store that, thankfully, has no silly policy about not selling computers. They said $40.00, I offered $30.00, they said "Sold!" This thing is built like a tank! I actually put it on a scale because I had to know, and it weighs forty pounds; …
Re: Slipstreaming appropriate SATA drivers to install XP

I ran into this problem on my latest desktop XP build. The intel board came with the drivers on a floppy but the board didn't have the floppy drive connections, go figure! Tried the Nlite/slip streaming bit but kept striking out so ended up getting an external USB floppy drive and it was smooth …

Been messing around tonight with the ray tracing mods for Quake 1. Really does look great.

So far I like Raze, colors look more pleasing to the eye and everything is little less pixelated. Another vote for Raze I can just about run everything in it like Blood, Nam, Shadow Warrior and etc. Nice to keep everything in one place instead of different installations spread out everywhere.

I was curious of how you like the sound blaster card. Been going back and forth on adding a sound card to my Ryzen build. Keep hearing how mobo sound is good enough, but is it really? If I am completely honest with myself I stopped hearing the difference between sound cards years ago. Probably has …
