With lots of old parts, you could build a "new" old rig, but if you're so unsure, get the motherboard's manual and, if in doubt, ask someone to help you, it shouldn't be that difficult. http://sonic840.deviantart.com/art/Computer-hardware-poster-1-7-111402099 That poster could be of some use to you …

6 does work indeed :) Thanks. Another game broken (with 2 and 6) is Innocent Until Caught. That one's more interesting since it hangs dosbox and if I try enough times, it gives me a blue screen. It works again if I comment these: /* if (GCC_UNLIKELY(CPU_Cycles)) { CPU_CycleLeft += (CPU_Cycles-2); …

It works for me with joystick, using the official release 😀 I'll try the workaround. Thanks 😀 Update: the workaround didn't work for me 😖

Hello, I know that it's not the stable, but I assume the SVN will eventually become a new release, and revision 3692 prevents Llamatron from detecting the Sound Blaster, every other game I tested with that revision so far has worked fine. The game works right up to revision 3689 and, of course, the …

I might not have understood your question completely, and I might be wrong about my DOS related memories, but I believe that's how it's supposed to work. DOS stamped the files with the last written date, so, any move or copy operations re-stamped the files. Looking at whatever I did today with …

Without mounting a CD or image, it's no wonder you get no music, DosBox isn't aware the CD is there...so...there.

Yeah, I'm mounting the .cue/bin pair...I'll try your other suggestions. Fancy that! It does work, install and all if mounted within alcohol 120 and then using the virtual drive as the mount for DosBox. Thanks 😀

DK Gold works fine for me. A problem that often occurs with the Gold version is not finding a volume label of "KDDISK1" from the disc, but I don't recall seeing a post from you about your specific problem, so can't advise better than that. It's in the dosbox games forum...thing is I get a "Can't …

Well, you're not mounting anything, so...that is probably your problem. Instead of doing it like that, do a nice .conf file that mounts the location of what you want i.e mount c f:\oldprog\ c: myprog.exe #exit uncomment this one if you want dosbox to close when the program's done and run dosbox as …

I don't think there are any problems with distributing MSVCRT100 statically linked, however, there's an interesting note about that here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235316.aspx
