Re: MacOS X Pictorial Guide

Posted on 2007-03-22, 20:35

I now regret writing the second e-mail, dated 2007-3-22 @ 09:21 am. Its purpose was to help you view the guide through the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time without understanding technical jargon, enabling you to improve its user friendliness. Hey! We are still friends (I hope). And I …

Re: Enabled screensaver?

Hmmm. I have no idea how, if, and when Windows decides that it is time to go into screen-saver mode. I don't think it is CPU-usage, because I run one of those distributed computing clients that will use 100 % of the CPU when it can, and Windows still seem to kick into screen-saver mode (which is …

To give you an idea of the level of my panicked ignorance, here was my initial reaction when first trying to read the "60 Seconds Guide" : Damn!!! And I was so proud of that guide :surprised: 1. Create a directory for your game, e.g. "C:\DOSBox stuff\MyGame". OMGWTF!?!? WHAT'S A "DIRECTORY"!? (if …

Ultimately, while it's not necessarily fair for you (or me), I'm a firm believer in 'the benefit for all outweighes the interests of a few'. Aha - you are a pink communist :wink: No, but then again neither did Microprose when they released Transport Tycoon Deluxe. And I'm not sure who did the …

* The argument that copyright owners are losing out is defunct. If a copyright owner rereleases a game and it is still on the market, then that is not classed as abandonware and most sensible abandonware sites (Underdogs, Abandonia) make people aware of where they can buy these games. Indeed, …

Re: Fork DOSBox?

Posted on 2007-03-21, 17:03

Win95 and Win98 programs makes use of a lot of shared library files (DDL's) and routines (API's - Application Programming Interfaces) that are part of the Windows 9x operating system. So your WINBox-fork would have to implement them (just like Wine - the Windows Emulator for Linux). A very big …

Re: Abandonware and Dosbox

No, quite the opposite. Old games will have renewed value when DOSBox (or DOS-emulators in general) becomes widespread on new devices like smartphones, or game consoles. So no sudden mass-release of old games as freeware. I am lucky enough to have a nearby shop that sell old games for $10-15, and I …

Re: Abandonware and Dosbox

Abandonware is not legal most of the time but I know that most developers don't mind. It's the old publishers that do. Developers like their games to still be played after all - they take pride in that. Morally, as long as games are no longer sold, it's pretty clear that there's little problems …

Re: D.O.G. 1.53 Released

Posted on 2007-03-21, 09:35

I tried D.O.G a few weeks ago, but I found it strangely confusing. Something about the navigation when configuring a game that didn't click with me. To me, it seemed a little confusing, and required a lot of clicking and navigation for me to feel confident that I had everything configured correctly. …
