Yeah, that "charity" stuff is pure bullshit. It's unbelievable that a "company" like this can exist, in a country that (for example) takes DNA samples from people commiting minor crimes, or has the largest number of public surveillance cameras in the world. Oh well... The problem i see is that …

Wow! A600, is it possible for you to distribute that compile? I know of the problems connected with X D K apps, but it would be _so_ cool to try this build...
Re: Tomb Raider 1 and dos 6.22

I have been searching for ages how to make Tomb Raider 1 work under dos 6.22 on a new PC. What do you mean with "new PC"? If you mean a current, quite fast PC, then why don't you just use DOSBox to play TR? I've been playing TR with ykhwong's DOSBox build, which does support GLIDE emulation. The …

I'm now law expert, but this "business model" stinks. The website gives very little information on what Butterfly is exactly doing. Even if they are "only" the middleman - they have to check if the stuff they're trading is legit. They claim to have a "Downloadable databases for all titles", so they …

Welcome to the forum, Sonja! Which tutorial do you mean? The link you've posted just points to the "DOSBox guides" forum, not a specific guide. Could you describe what you are trying to do with the hd image?

That site needs to be shut down immediately! Not only are they ripping off people, they are using free software like DOSBox (and others) to generate profit. I agree that this could work against the devs, or the project. SKARDAVNELNATE, you should report the seller in eBay. With a little luck, …
Re: GeoWorks 1.1 now works under DOSBox!
Posted on 2007-07-29, 01:54
Totally different approaches like vpc's and dosbox' cannot be compared like this. DOSBox is game oriented VPC is OS and application oriented It's hard to define how one apple is better than another orange. They're both fruit but derived from two different species. Both are round and sweet yet they …

I've tested the game, and i'm still not sure if i understand what you mean with "stuttering". This game has no smooth scrolling, like for example an Amiga action title. My machine is a lot slower than yours (P4/2.6Ghz), and i'd say that DOSBox runs the game quite well. I don't know how the game …

Abyss: Sorry to say that, but you really have to learn when it's better for you to just shut up. All the time, i was hoping to read at least _one_ intelligent statement from you, but that didn't happen so far. Your "VPC is better than DOSBox" statement is again a proof of one (or both) of two things …

the speed of the emulated machine is relative to your CPU speed The "cycles" setting is not absolute, which means you have to find the optimal cycle setting for your machine (and the game) by yourself. First, try the game with "core=dynamic" and "cycles=auto" settings in dosbox.conf. If that …
Re: dark sun 2 wake of the ravager
Posted on 2007-07-28, 09:54
Not at all, the speed of the emulated machine is relative to your CPU speed. What kind of machine do you have? For many games, setting "core=dynamic" and "cycles=auto" gives you optimal performance.
Re: CPU Usage = 100%, Lowering CPU Cycles and Frameskip don't help in correcting it
Posted on 2007-07-28, 07:21
DOSBox shouldn't use 100% CPU after starting it. There's something wrong with your machine, OS, or setup. Let's try to identify the source of the problem. - Unplug _all_ USB devices, and disable programs running in the background, like virus scanners, etc. - Re-Install DOSBox, or copy the default …

pushd... popd... Sounds like 4DOS, right? Do a Google search (i don't have URL right now), 4DOS is still in developmenent (!), and it's freeware/open source now. It works perfectly in DOSBox.
Re: GP2 doesn't want to install

Seems there's a difference between reading and understanding. Well, if you only mount a d:\ drive, where do you want to install the game to? A little hint: have you ever seen a PC without a c:\ drive?

Thanks for the links! Any more?! Gimme games!!! (; On a second thought, i realized that it's probably too confusing to include all the programs in a single post. The solution would be to either create seperate posts, or include all programs in an external document, like an excel sheet. I'm gonna …

Inspired by another thread, i thought i might try to start this topic. The idea is to have a list with all known engines/remakes. Please contribute if you know any program that's missing from the list! To start this off, here's just a few entries off the top of my head. If i get some encouraging …

njaydg: i think leileilol was trying to say that this "chocolate"-thing is best for playing "vanilla" (nice pun) Doom. "Vanilla" as in "as close to the original as possible". In terms of eye-candy, Doomsday just rocks. You can download and use high resolution textures, real 3D models, high-quality …

Try Xpadder. I've tested all "Joy-to-Key" or "Joy-to-Mouse" programs a while ago, and sticked with Xpadder. It can do anything you want, and it does it with style (;
