Oh cr*p, it's not in the 0.72 readme, right. As you know, wd, i have a rather personal relationship with the "buttonwrap" option, so i never had to look it up in the readme... (;

Set buttonwrap=false in dosbox.conf. This information is in the readme, too. For playing Descent 1/2 on modern machines, you may want to have a look at D2X-XL.

Or a SCSI controller and external drive, if there's a free slot on the board (couldn't see that from the other thread).

I think there are more pressing matters in this world besides "legalizing" Abandonware, aren't there? Online petitions mean sh*t, anyway. Anyone who thinks these petitions will actually change anything is a hopeless dreamer. There's hundreds of reasons why online petitions won't work at all. For …
Re: New version of DOSBox idea

I'm not a DOSBox dev, but i think i can safely say the following. DOSBox is open source. You're welcome to download the source, add any functionality you wish, and submit these changes back to CVS. If your changes don't break game compatibility or the portability of DOSBox, the devs will decide …

Mail with your IP address and contact information sent to ESA/BSA and who else wanted it. C'mon, i'm with you on the topic and on the sillyness of this user's request (though he never mentioned copies), but that's too much. There's no need to show this kind of hostility and "Blockwart"-mentality on …
Re: How do I run Screamer 2 on a modern system?

... (; I've just checked out the original CD (Original version, not the Re-Release), and the game is a DOS-only game. There's an autorun.inf on the CD, which starts a Windows-Launcher (to install the game), but the actual installer is a DOS program. The 3DFX-patch (available via patches-scrolls) is …

Get an original version of the game. You won't get any support for pirated games on VOGONS.

Re: How to increase keyboard response time in Dosbox?
Posted on 2008-11-08, 10:18
For the record, there's another source for "keyboard lagging" in DOSBox: the "priority" setting in dosbox.conf. On my ageing gaming system (P4/2.6Ghz/1GB), the default setting of "higher, normal" produces heavy keyboard lagging. I see this effect with other programs on this system, too, when setting …
Re: Why do modern video games suck so badly
Posted on 2008-11-06, 13:40
Didn't read the article in full, but it sounds rather biased and (sorry) stupid in my opinion. For example, according to the writer, there are no strategy or RTS games anymore, which is not true. The next thing i've noticed is that in his list of "classic games", you'll find strategy and simulation …

Well, technically it's still pirating... It's like the "Abandonware"-discussion. It doesn't matter what one person thinks is correct, right, good, etc. . Would be much more sensible to settle such matters per PM.

Heh, that doesn't sound too good... Though you seem to be a bit harsh on the game. It seems some people thought this would be the holy grail of computer games, but i believe the problem is that the "good old times" won't ever come back once we're getting older. It's like comparing having sex or …

Because you are supporting them by buying games "protected" by their product. But how is the game actually? Some reviews i've read sounded quite promising.

Eh... i don't get it. I had a look at the batch files, and it seems they simply set some environment variables, and certain "cycles" entries. I can't see how this is supposed to be an "all-around" solution. I don't think DOSBox' cycle-setting scales with the host's CPU power. This means that, for …
Re: DosBox072: Games getting slower when raising the cycles.
Posted on 2008-10-20, 16:04
It's easy: open DOSBox in windowed mode, and task manager. Now start a "demanding" game (in your case, that would be nearly any game, more on that later), and look at the CPU utilization. Adjust the cycles until CPU util is _below_ 100% (maybe hitting 100% in "spikes"). Now you have an idea about …

Just a small addition: i was referring to an alternate renderer for Unreal, not the software renderer. I think there are various of these out there, here is one i found with a simple Google search.
