NOOOO! MY FLOPPY WENT BAD!
Posted on 2006-02-19, 10:56
My Civ floppy number 1 went bad today and now I cant install the game. All the others work fine but A doesn't. Can anyone give advice? I have tried reading it under 2 drives and they both say the disk needs formatting. What should I do? 🙁 🙁
DOSBox to run OS's?
Posted on 2004-10-14, 18:15
I know that DOSBox was designed to run games but I've managed to get it working with a few OS's: Windows1.01 (downloaded of www.toastytech.com) Shane Land OpenGEM Windows 1 does'nt work. It gets to the MS logo (now corrupted) and then it goes to a green screen and quits. (On DBOX 0.61 the MS logo is …

THEN HOW COME IT WAS MORE ADVANCED THAN THE PC???? For a start it's 1985 OCS chipset had more colours then the VGA adapters at that time. Anyway we don't want this to turn into a argument

Well... I do say THAD DOSBOX IS STILL SLOW AND STUTTERY ON 3D LEMMINGS EVEN WITH CPU CYCLES TOPPED UP 😠 Oh! and the Amiga is a more demanding thing than DOS snd that runs smootly on the JIT so don't you thinkt that using this is good. 😒
DOSBox Slowness fix:
Posted on 2004-09-01, 09:41
I've just starting emulating Amigas using WinUAE and a very interesting option appeared: JIT (Just In Time Compiler) Apparently it sorts out the problem with lack of speed. A JIT system is just what you could need in DOSBox so you can get those demanding games running smoothly and sort out the …

Why do you need one? PS2 is a current console.
Lemmings2 The Tribes for Amiga keeps on giving me a SOFTWARE FAILURE error!
Posted on 2004-08-12, 18:27
Today I just downloaded the ADF files for Lemmings2 from Atomic Cabbidge. I started it up and it got to the DMA Design screen then the screen goes black and it says SOFTWARE ERROR! in a flashing red box. I can't renember the rest. What am I to do? (Notes: I am booting (virtually) from the ADF to a …
DOBox is slow even with frameskip and CPU Cycles! Can we have it faster?
Posted on 2004-08-05, 10:49
This is white so you can see it! I have noticed that DOSBox is too slow for many, many games. Now it is OK for games like Civilization and Theater of Warbut most other games like Tomb Raider and 3d Lemmings are just too slow. Now it is a x86 emulator but can we zoom it's speed to the end of the x86 …

You can get the games from here: www.dream17.co.uk (Thanks to Squirminator2k on the Team17 forum) and get the emulation pack from here: www.amigaforever.com
Zoop (V1) will not install in XP! Both the Win3.1 and DOS based setup will not install!

I have been trying to get ZOOP working but when I run the setup program it only installes the readme. The dos based one does nothing! What can I do?
Ok! This is not a PC as sutch but AMIGA EMULATORS!
Posted on 2004-08-04, 06:05
Now I have just (legally) downloaded some old Amiga ADF files for some Team17 games (The downloads are authorised by a worker there). The thing is I want to find a good legal emulation package (WinUAE and WinFellow are just the emulators. You need the KickStart and WorkBench files to make it run). …

Here is another idea: INSERT+HOME causes all the graphics and sound output to a AVI file.
Re: Cant run from C:\
Posted on 2004-07-31, 05:59
from the readme: FAQ: ==== Q: I've got a Z instead of a C at the prompt. A: In DOSBox you can mount directories as drives in win32: mount c D:\ would give you an C in DOSBox which points at D:\ in win32 I dont understand what that means. All i want to do is run an .exe from my c:/ but it doesnt let …
Re: Bad sound on all games!
Posted on 2004-07-31, 05:52
Hey! I's not all that bad! They almost found other lifeforms once! Anyway I found that 500 cycles gets the sound right but then the graphics are slow! AND IE is not that bad :disapproving:. Opera can not use all of SP2 features (XP only. It cant use the popup blocker, plugin control, securtiy …
SUGGESTION: Two new .COM files for DOSBox! (two new commands)
Posted on 2004-07-31, 05:47
Here is a idea for some more DOSBox commands: (with their syntax) unmount {dosbox drive letter} {real drive letter}:\ -t {type) This will unmount the drive you enter whitch is handy as I sometimes mount the wrong drives lconfig {mounted path} Loads the config file of your choice, restarts DOSBox and …
Re: Bad sound on all games!

1. Check that there is not any processor intensive process running in background. DOSBOX needs all processor power it can get. Done! SETI@Home quitted 2. Use a different SDL.DLL (search Internet). 3. I hope you are not using some nasty scaler (that hq2x which is available in PRIESTLYBOY CVS builds …
Re: Bad sound on all games!
Posted on 2004-07-28, 05:31
Have you read README and DOSBOX Guides ??? Basically if you get with cycles too high, you will have bad sound. Buy a better computer or decrease value of cycles. The only other known cause of this is usage of non-USB joystick. Get rid of it if you have it. Mirek I am using a AthlonXP 2000+ Also I …
Bad sound on all games!
Posted on 2004-07-27, 17:34
I ahve noticed that the VGA emulation is OK but the sound seems bad when the cpu cycles are topped up. I have posted 2 sound samples from Theatre of War and Sid Merers Civilization. In each one the cycles have been vaired throughout. Hope it helps! Qbix: Attachment removed
