http://www.idcomm.com/personal/lorenblaney/ Snarf has been updated and should now work with old ATI graphic cards. Snarf is a TSR program that takes snapshots of virtually any DOS graphic or text screen. It's particularly useful under Windows XP, which does not capture DOS graphic screens. Although …

DosBox doesn't support Windows 95 games. 1. Use Uniextract to extract the data files. Uniextract does not work on all installshield installers and sometimes even when it does it may not extract the files into the proper subdirectories. Even if it does some games (although few) still require the …

You could probably play Warcraft under basilisk. Don't know if CD audio works in that though.

We do don't know. The sane people play the original Doom with a keyboard. The insane don't. If you wish to know why door's cannot open with a mouseclick then you should ask on John Romero's website. If anyone knows (besides Carmack) it would be him.

I think if you were TS into Vista then supposedly Aero desktop would work....which means overlay/D3D would probably work and you could use DosBox there. Of course this probably won't apply until Server 2008 is out. You could try TameDOS for NTVDM. Costs $$. You could try this free INT28 idle …

Have you tried adjusting the output= option in dosbox.conf? In a TS session you'll probably only be able to use surface or overlay. By default DosBox uses surface which cannot scale. So try overlay.

Well I guess it's not too suprising. From the beginning the XBOX 360 was about being connected and playing with other people. What will be interesting is to see if Halo 3 multiplayer will take over from Halo 2 multiplayer or at least take out a significant chunk of Halo 2's player base. Is there a …

If you use the additions for VPC 2004, IIRC they include the DOS drivers that you need. Have fun setting up DOS in VPC and ignoring DOSBox.

I think vdos32 is his solution for 64bit Windows. Don't really know how feature complete it is compared to GliDOS. Supposedly it runs TR about the same as GliDOS. 64bit Windows doesn't have the ability to run 16bit code natively so he had to write an emulator to do so. Whereas GliDOS basically layed …
