If you have Windows XP you can make a bootable image when you format a floppy. or you can download FreeDOS which has bootable floppies/CD. or you can find a copy of MS-DOS easily on the internet.

http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2007/12/24/6849530.aspx MS-DOS served two purposes in Windows 95. * It served as the boot loader. * It acted as the 16-bit legacy device driver layer. When Windows 95 started up, a customized version of MS-DOS was loaded, and it's that customized version …

You hope it has. Long development time doesn't necessarily mean that it will be polished.

I've only ever gotten IW: Neutronium to work in Qemu/Vmware (Windows 98SE guest). The game works fine in Windows 98SE on a real computer as well.

Helping people troubleshoot their games is getting really really old. We should just go straight to PhysFS, stop supporting people who don't use PhysFS, and then put instructions in the Wiki for converting games into PhysFS format. That would significantly reduce the issues with "games not working". …

I'm sad to say that I've never contributed to MobyGames. With the internet being the way it is it's all too easy for sites to disappear and since I NEED my list for compatibility testing and it works great for what I use it for there's nothing that MobyGames could do to help. I have checked their …

The familiar music and Duke's voice are the only good things from the teaser. The rest is disappointing.

Set DosBox to correct core. Increase cycles or use auto cycles. Decrease the # of files in your Database. Use your Database program in your host computer. Use your Database program in VM software that supports running Database software.

It's fine to market games for those who are hardcore into FPS's but it's not the way to make tons of money. See Crysis up above? Yeah. Prey and COD4 are on XBox 360 as well. If they weren't then they obviously wouldn't have done very well at all. If 3DRealms wants to get their money back then they …

It could be the greatest FPS of all time. It's still going to tank. Look at Crysis. People are bashing it all over the internet because they think it won't run on their computers because they think they need to run it at max detail settings when it runs just fine and looks better than HL2: EP2 on …
