I don't know much about DOSBox. But there is a dedicated DOSBox section on Vogons, maybe best to start a new thread there? DOSBox

Hi. Sorry, I couldn't get your line code to work so I made a new version of my previous code example. This version uses an off-screen memory buffer, draws a line (just a crappy implementation just for demo purposes), and then copies the buffer to the screen. I made the off-screen buffer a linear …

Hi, FIrst of all a big thanks for writing this for me, it's highly appreciated! :) I tried it out, and it works, but, there are some interleaving artifacts, check out the attached screenshot... Any idea what that might be and h0w to fix it ? No worries. Yeah, I was expecting my code to have some …

Not sure if this is a 100% correct. I am sure some smart person here can point out bugs but it will give you at least some bare-bone Watcom based example without using libraries.

Re: 386 Board RAM type

that shop doesnt send items to Australia, I saw them when I googled but unfortunately a no go. And cant find anything locally. Either way, it will be expensive and I am better off buying ready to go SIPP modules. Ah, that was just an example of what kind of slots I was referring to (the first thing …

thanks but I am not great at soldering and dont want to damage a precious rare AND working 386 system, I just want to add more RAM without breaking the bank. SIPP modules are extremely rare and cost more than the whole system cost me which was already a bit. As I mentioned in a previous comment, …

thanks, found these : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/175843995849 overkill for a 386 to have 16MB but its the best value price vs spec .... as single 1MB SIPPs appear to cost as this whole lot. Expensive though as by the time I add postage to Australia and import duty it more than doubles the price so …

You can have total of 8 SIP memory modules there. They are like SIMMs, just with pins. I think, you can even solder pins on SIMM module and it works. An easier way to use SIMMs is to get some SIMM slots. The pins (normally soldered to the board) should fit the SIPP slots. PS: Just always make sure …

Does ripping music CDs onto my computer count as a retro activity? I'll take this a step further, imagine re -ripping the same old audio CDs to a better/lossless format now that storage space isn't an issue! Reminds me of a friend back in the late 90's. He ripped all his CDs at 128Kbps (took 1 …

one problem - some midi-s (not all, two or three) from Ultrasound\midi directory doesn't play in Ultrasound midi player correctly - playing few notes and stops, playing one note continuously, only ESC-key helps. Hi and welcome. It might be useful to at least say "which ones" don't play correctly. …

Not a super big task but I dusted off this AWE64 Gold with an anti-static brush today. This one has blue colored capacitors which I don't see often. I also rubbed the connector with an eraser to shine it up a bit, though the card already worked fine. This is the slightly larger and older CT4390, …

If I remember correctly, these type of debuggers were known as Symbolic Debuggers. When you build your EXE you can ask the compiler to embed symbolic information in the EXE (there are a few different formats, Borland used their own for Turbo Debugger) which would increase the size (and reduce the …
