That's what's nice about open source software. When VPC is discontinued and integrated into future Windows versions then VPC will be dead for other OS's. If it was open sourced then development could continue. I heard Microsoft released the latest ver of Windows 2008 with the Hypervisor. Hopefullly …

Since when did conventional memory have anything to do with VDMSound? VDMSound primarily emulates sound and secondly provides joystick/gamepad support. That's pretty much it. It lies on top of NTVDM which is what emulates MS-DOS and provides conventional memory. DOSX.EXE is a protected mode stub …

Check your DirectDraw/Direct3D acceleration. Also check the Hardware Acceleration slider in your video properties. Finally try different output= options in dosbox.conf.

I was thinking of just hosting the BBS on one image and allowing multiple connections to the guest, but I want to say official DosBox only supports one network connection so unless you add in TCP/IP support or you want to use more emulated modem in DosBox then you may be out of luck. (I'm not sure …

I booted up Windows 98 in Vmware Workstation 6 yesterday and noticed that DirectDraw acceleration was gone. Also checked out the latest version of VirtualBox and they STILL do not have 9x additions. It's only a matter of time until the latest versions of VPC drop 9x support. (They already dropped …

You can also trying creating an hard drive image with bximage (included with Bochs). Install MS-DOS on the HD image using DosBox and a mounted floppy image. Then open up the hard drive image with Winimage and copy your program over to that. There's instructions around here somewhere I'll see if I …

So in XP when you have it working it's in "C:\brada\brada"? and when you mount it in DosBox you do a "mount c c:\brada"? Does the programs expect to be in \brada or \brada\brada (because when you do a "mount c c:\brada", then the program only sees "C:\brada") Damn you WD! Too fast! 😀

Only reason DosBox doesn't support higher resolutions is because most DOS games didn't use resolutions higher than 640x480 all that much, in earlier versions DosBox was much slower so higher resolutions weren't realistic and also to reduce the # of stupid questions by users asking why Duke3D runs …

I want to say DosBox supports a max res of 1024x768. You can try downloading yhkwong's CVS build of DosBox that includes Vasyl's SVA chipset patch that might support 1280x1024.

DosBox's recording function is the most efficient solution for recording video. Nothing else can do better. In fact the audio takes up more space than the video. Best solution is to re-encode the audio to MP3 instead of re-encoding the video since any re-encode of the video will result in a greater …

I just put DOS32A in DosBox and put in the proper PATH statement so your doing something wrong. Using PATH …

If you put the DOS32a\binw directory in your PATH statement then you do not need to worry about copying the DOS32a files anywhere. The PATH statement enables the ability to execute programs if your not in the actual program's directory. So if your in the STTNG directory and you wish to run SB.exe …
