Re: Art of CGA

Would it be easy to convert a 16 color bitmap to cga becuase thats all I can make in my program For completeness, there's also a CGA utility called imgconv (see dr.zeissler's CGA thread ) It creates four colour pictures only, though, and requires some manual editing for good results. It can't …

Re: Sound Blaster 2.0 project & IRQ from OPL2

Cool project! :D ALL playback-related DSP commands (even rarely used ones) to maximize compatibility with software that use the card for playback. Also the Thunder Board DSP commands ? ;) Thunderboard was a decent SB 1.x/2.0 clone, but also had few extra DSP commands. Nothing spectacluar, but if you …

Re: DVI/DOS problem

I'm not 100 percent sure, but I believe DVI is 60Hz/120Hz/240Hz only. So some DOS games -those using 320x200 mainly-, won't work via DVI, since they rely on 72Hz/75Hz/.. refresh rates.

Re: How to "Mount" in Windows 10 ??

in DOSBox General
Also be careful with paths that include a space, as in C:\Users\Joe Everyone\Documents\DOSBox. In that case, just type the path in quotes. Mount C "C:\Users\Joe Everyone\Documents\DOSBox" Alternatively, you can also use a relative path. If you have a folder named DOS in the DOSBox directory, just …

Hello everybody! Hi Jens! :) I'm running Win 1.0c from 1986. When starting, the screen is full of random ASCII symbols (is that normal?). With beeping sounds ? Yes. It also happens with Windows 2.x if you are using DOS 5/6. ver set 4 cd windows ver set win100.bin 3.34 win.com is the first ver for …

Re: Whats the difference DX6 vs DX7

I couldn't have said it any better. :) The only minor exception to this is/was DX 10 to 11 I believe. There was a time when MS threw out the "cap bits" and required cards to support all DX (D3D?) features in hardware. Anyway, I believe that changed again. That confusing "feature level" story is all …

Re: Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum 16 ?

Yes, that's true, sadly. By the time Windows 95 came, PAS as well as Media Vision were gone. On the bright side, Windows 9x fully supported the PAS16 out-of-box. I remember using my PAS16 well into the 2000s in Windows 98SE. ^^ The Trantor SCSI interface was also supported by the built-in drivers. …

Re: Microsoft Global IME 5.02 for Japanese - with Language Pack?

Thanks for the info Joey! This reminds me of a story of a Japanese Sharp X68000 (?) emulator. From what I heard, the developer in question intentionally built in a locale check to make sure it won't work on non-japanese systems.. I still fail to understand why someone would want to do that, though. …

Afaik, it works for displaying Japanese characters. In Internet Explorer or for text files, for example. For playing Japanese Windows games, you may need the Japanese release of Windows 98(SE). I can't go into details, but some of the Japanese Win98(SE) CDs may also recognize English/International * …

I second that. PAS cards are good ones, but they shouldn't be seen as SB clones. Rather, PAS/PAS16 should be considered as a standard of its own. If you'v got a 286 to 486 machine, the PAS16 will give you clear OPL3 music and average SB 1.5/SB2.0/Thunderboard compatibility. It will also work fine …

Re: Is Win NT 3.51 any good for gaming?

Posted on 2018-06-03, 08:40

WinNT 3.5 was in no way a gaming OS - but then again Win3.11 hardly was either. In comparison to Win9x, this is likely true. However, Mobygames lists about 1411 games for Windows 3.x. http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/win3x/ :) There was a handful of games that used Win32s and WinG to require …

Hi, you're lucky, I've got that file on my backups. ^^ I downloaded it years ago from the MS site for my Win98SE. Unfortunately, that file is to big for an attachment (~5,3MB). I can send it to you via email, though, if you like. Just send me a PM. Best regards, Jo22 Edit: Good news! :D I noted the …

Thanks for the info about the Qatari satellites! :) I wish AMSAT the best, too. Speaking of AMSAT, AO-7 from 1974 is still funtional, isn't it ? A few years ago I heard that the batteries became open again and that it works if in sun light. Anyway, I love the build quality of the old birds (see some …
