So I recently just came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5REM-3nWHg I found it very interesting that George R. R. Martin writes his A Song Of Ice And Fire on DOS. There's something beautiful about someone just making due with that they have and know and using it to make them tons …

What is the reasons games are so large these days? 50GB? That's insane... megatextures. With that said even though the texture quality isn't consistent at least it's nowhere near as bad as the textures in Rage. You can also tell the game needed some more development time since various things are …

Compared to 98SE: Higher cpu/memory requirements Stable Driver issues if hardware is not compatible with 2000. Compatible with most windows games except for some 9x games which are incompatible. NTVDM not recommended. Use DOSBox but if CPU is too slow then use NTVDM with vdmsound\Virtual PC\Vmware, …

If you look around I'm sure you can find a KMS activator for it. Considering you have a license to the software it shouldn't be an issue.

There's a SDL2 port of DOSBox on the forum somewhere. Issue might be fixed there.

IIRC, switching SDL to use WINDIB will fix it or upgrade to Windows 8. DOSBox & Aero (Transparency disabled on Full/Windows mode switch)

KVM and ESX can. Haven't kept track of QEMU but it would make since if it did since QEMU uses KVM. I thought FF7 was patched to work fine in modern windows? and then there was the re-release of the game on Steam as well. and there's always the PS version of it. Not sure why the "best option" would …

The only time you have to worry about things potentially breaking is: if/when DRM is installed or if multipled versions of that DRM is installed. Nice thing about 64bit Windows is the DRM included with alot of these older games doesn't work anymore so you'll have to install the latest DRM (Safedisc, …

0.74 is the latest and best version as far as regular users are concerned. If they have a issue then they need to tell us. It may or may not be fixed in the SVN. The SVN isn't ideal for regular users since a change may possibly break something.

They can gobble all the resouces they want as long as it doesn't interfere with anything I want to do. I haven't noticed any issues in all my years using them (I haven't used firefox heavily for years now). Nice try ad industry. I'll keep up the good fight.

I agree on not using the MS-DOS setup to setup your drive. To confirm it's not your copy of DOS try the FreeDOS floppy at the end of the page to format and partition your drive: http://www.freedos.org/download/

You can't disable DWM in Windows 8. I haven't experienced this slowdown issue with old games that I've seen people refer to but I haven't been able to perform extensive compatibility testing with Windows 8 as I have with the earlier versions of windows due to not enough time. It's either a OS issue …

The rumour is that the new start menu will be provided in the new big update later this year. The start button in 8.1 is just an icon that pops open the full screen start menu
