Which virus scanner? (i'm rather sure it's a false positive but didn't test it) Avira AntiVir - I've been selecting ignore for it and don't seem to be suffering any problems thus far.

That's what I meant by false positive. In any case I've been using zlib1.dll with other programs and the problem only came up today so it's to do with the current virus def file.

Well I've just tested the CVS from 25th March and it happens there too. If anyone has a game that uses the Miles Sound System configuration program (the popular one with the purple and blue windows on a grey background; there's load of them that use it) - please test it with 0.70 and the Daum Café …

I'm using DBGL for which I've modified my templates to set a specific core and cycle count. Core is always normal except for anything that goes over 18000 cycles a second where I use dynamic because my poor ickle Athlon 2400 can't handle anything above that - but using both core types I get the same …

After using 0.70 for some time, I've discovered a number of problems that have been coming up again and again that I cannot reproduce in 0.65 (Windows, I'm yet to try 0.70 Linux)... * Sound - a lot of games seem to suffer from stuttery sound, to the point where I'm forced to up the prebuffer and …

I think you need a fact-checking assistant jamyskis. * It was not TTD, it is Railroad Tycoon Deluxe. * It was not Microprose, it was 2K Games that did the RRTD / DOSBox release. * And unlike Vivendi/Sierra, 2K Games contacted and worked with the DOSBox team to test the combination before release ( …

I will tell you this. I am not against abandonware at all. I actually support it. Every abandonware site advertises Dosbox. I also am in support of you not giving support to abandonware. That may sound like double speak but its like this. Dosbox was made for people who want to play their old games …

Copyright owners may not loose out, but what about the people that bought a surplus of old games, and now sells them on eBay? They will (and do) loose out due to "abandonware" sites. And so do I, if I want to swap/sell one of the games I have bought. Is that fair? It depends on the game, but those …

Don't worry - this isn't a philosophical question or anything. DOSBox is fine as is. It's just that we're reaching a point in PC gaming where another era is passing and it's getting more and more difficult to run games of that era - specifically Windows 3.1, 95 and 98 titles. Win3.1 titles, as far …

I originally posted this in its own thread but I thought it pointless to have two parallel threads about abandonware - sorry if you were replying to it before I deleted it. I've been visiting this forum for a while now when I've been having a few problems with a couple of games, so I thought it was …
