Hmm. Interesting. I have a modem card that came with the PC when I bought it, but no network card. So, I take it I would create a virtual network card within DOSBox, get a network card for the retro PC, and link up to it...? DosBox does support a virtual NE2000 network card. You need something …

... Not sure how I'd be able to. My retro rig isn't set up to the internet ... I don't believe my rig has ethernet...? I'd need to check. Fair enough, but I was actually referencing using it in local mode (no connection to another system) It still offers two side/directory display (on your local …

Have you got my DDLINK? I don't believe so. What's that? A third-party manager of some sort? It's essentially a file transfer tool that can copy files over Serial, Parallel or Network. It has a 2-side(2 directories) display and quite a few actions it can perform (Copy, Rename, Erase, View, set- …

Hi. Quick question: what DOS command can be used to move files from one folder to another? I’ve tried ‘move’, but it tends to move the folder with its contents, if I use the /e and/or /s switch. But it’s just the files inside it I want in this case. Thanks. Have you got my DDLINK? You can run …

Not sure what you're trying, but you could cd to the source directory, then move *.* somewhere_else I was trying to copy/move Cute Mouse files I have saved in a folder of Windows/DOS goodies I’ve collected to my DOSDRV folder on the C drive. I can’t recall what I did, but I think I put them in a …

Found this thread on adding the command for an optical drive - https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/testing-etherdfs-shsucd-aka-running-dos-games-over-a-network.1313243/page-2 - but it isn’t working for me. Added it to the autoexec, but it just says Can’t open CD driver OPTICAL. SHSUCDX can’t …

See the following example: shsucdhd /F:g:\test300m.iso shsucdx /D:shsu-cdh,h it makes the contents of g:\test300m.iso accessible as drive h: Also, make sure the LASTDRIVE statement in CONFIG.SYS allows for sufficient number of drives - for this exmple, you need at least: lastdrive=h Ahhh, okay. …

You didn't show the second screenful about free EMS. Another possibility is that this game doesn't properly handle extremely large amounts of total or free memory like 256MB, and thinks it's less than 8MB. Ah. Sorry. I'll go grab that now. But yeah, the thought did cross my mind that it could be ' …

Okay, my other issue… I seem to be having a problem with memory in DOS, although it’s for one specific game at the moment. Harvester. Whenever I run the install, I get greeted with a blue box that says ‘Your system does not have enough installed memory to run. 8Megs are required.’ I’m guessing this …

Regarding SHSUCD - can it be used to load physical CDs as well? Or is it purely images? SHSUCDX is supposed to be an MSCDEX substitute - so yes, it should work with real drives as well. That's what I thought. Although I've not had much luck getting it to work yet. I could be wrong, but don't you …

My other thread on the topic looks to be dead; every question I ask gets no response. So I guess I'll try here instead. Regarding SHSUCD - can it be used to load physical CDs as well?

I think I did read somewhere that this card is known to have issues with some games…? Although I can’t recall the specifics. One thing I’ve noticed is that there’s some flickering in a few games. I can’t remember all the games I’ve noticed it with, but the Build engine games, like Duke Nukem 3D and …
