Re: When will Microsoft finally die?

Like for everything in life, there are exceptions. Even today, some tasks can be done more quickly on the command line (whoa, I never thought I'd say this someday!) Let's say, you're going to rename some files for your TV's media player or a personal homepage. Changing an extension via " ren *.html …

The dynamic core I'm working on for x64 should handle games up to 1GHz. But that is just a guess, it it certainly much faster, but so far not many games work with it. Quake 2 640x480 software mode, the normal core gets 10 fps, x64 dynamic core gets 114.3 fps This sounds really good, do you keep the …

Re: Increase memory of a video card in DosBox?

I'm not sure where the 2MB limit originally comes from, but at least a real Trio64v+ supports 4MB (not sure about Trio32/64). MS Virtual PC 2007, does, too. Its VM additions also ships with VGA drivers to support up to 16MB. There's even a section in the *´.vmc virtual machine files which defines …

I'm speaking under correction, but I think that the Desktop Window Manager w/ Aero Glass of Windows Vista/7 x86 even had a postive effect to Win16 apps. Last time I checked, they visually ran all fine and I encountered no issues with apps using 256 colour palettes. Again, I'm speaking under …

Re: Installing Win9x/Me from a USB Drive

I remember I used a Windows 98 laptop for that purpose. I used FDISK and FORMAT X: /S on the USB Drive, then copyied WIN98 and DRIVERS from the CD-ROM to it. (I also remember to have used that HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool on a pen drive at some point. I inserted the original Win 98SE Start-Up …

Just seen this thread. I wish you a happy birthday, too! :) 60W Soldering Iron 60W is fine. I started myself with a 220v, 60w soldering iron. If you're going to make some soldering jobs more often, there's also an upgrade path to a regulated soldering station. I'm using a very old Weller Magnastat …

Hi, I did have a quick look at it. But I'm afraid I'm no EMM386 expert, either. :sweatdrop: Maybe another kind user might check the entire EMM386 line. If Windows hangs, you can try this: Add D=64 to EMM386 (it sometimes helps) BUFFERS=30 (just in case buffers are required) DEVICE=C:\UDVD2.SYS /D: …

just to update the thread on what the final outcome was.. im pretty sure that user filipetolhuizen was able to get his 9200 installed + working only after installing a newer version of 9.2.2 he aquired from macos9lives.com site - then everything just worked so there must be some dependancies on …

Re: OS/2 Warp 3 and 4 install query

Hello snorg,I don't know about OS/2 4.51, but I believe stock OS/2 Warp 4.0 was not bootable yet. Even though it was released shortly after Win95, it was a bit behind the times as far as overall hardware support was concerned.. With the notable except of PCMCIA, APM, support for larger HDDs and …

My PC w/ Win7 (and XP) was missing msvcr120.dll. Thanks for mentioning that, I forgot about that dependency. Perhaps I will look into static linking. No problem. Copying that DLL into the directoy of Boxedwine made it run. It also works quite well on the XP partition of my aged main PC, so …

Re: Viewing the Upper Memory area

Posted on 2018-02-20, 23:52

Any ideas? Yup. don't load the CD-ROM driver "high" (MSCDEX is okay). My copy of vide-cdd.sys, doesn't like that, for example. Also make a backup of config.sys/autoexec.bat and run MemMaker. ;) It did wonders when I tried to get EMS working in Windows 2.03 (uses rare type of EMS with a huge page …
