Oh, great... I think I should understand this :P But I have three "kelloggs" directories now... the original one, the "unzipped" one and the one in "c-drive". Can I delete any of the files? Delete all but the Unzipped files, Run.cmd and dosbox.conf . And: There are problems installing the game. The …

You could have 100 CPU's in that server, and DOSBox would still only use 1 CPU core.

Just tried it - runs perfectly (as far as I can see) with DOSBox 0.65. Do this: Create a directory for the game and the DOSBox configuration file. I created C:\Documents and Settings\MiniMax\Documents\OldGames\Tony . Create a directory to hold the downloaded and unzipped version of Tony & Friends. I …

Thanks... But how do I do this? Find the file named dosbox.conf (I guess it is in the directory where you installed DOSBox). Edit it with Notepad. Find the 1 line that selects the type of CPU emulation (I can't remember the exact setting name). It should have choices of normal, dynamic and basic …

Hello Galbi - welcome to VOGONS. As a first step, I recommend that you download and install the lastest version of DOSBox: 0.65. If you are lucky, that will solve your problem. If not, come back, and tell us how you have configured DOSBox (look for a file called dosbox.conf in the directory where …

Dosbox should simply do what Mame, Gens and pretty much every emulator does: open the config file on startup *and* if there are any sections or lines missing, add them, filling them with default options. Which is exactly what DOSbox does, and have done for a very long time. So stop whining, create …

I had actually not known of the command line option to do that. It's still worlds easier to just copy over the only files actually needed and a single taylored configuration file in the game's directory and set up a batch file that runs the game directly through it (I know I could have it run …

That would be weird, as it's how things started out (dumb terminals connected to a mainframe). I think people like us will make a lot of noise to keep that from catching on.

because of certain x86 properties, virtualization is still hard. Some other architectures (IBM zSeries for example) are much more virtualization friendly. Even more, such systems are capable of running hundreds of virtual machines with very little overhead (in IBM zVM for example, each system " …

TCM - I am not sure, but I think I have a copy of Boxer somewhere. But as I am in the middle of moving, everything is packed down and disconnected at the moment. Give me a PM or something in 10 days time, if I haven't posted a link here by then.

Check for spaces, blanks, commas, etc, in the directory name and the directories above it. Rename the directory/directories so there are no spaces.

It is quite simple. Create a directory for GameX. Create a minimal dosbox.conf for GameX in that directory. By minimal, I mean only the things that differ from the standard dosbox.conf, e.g. CPU cycles, scaler, autoexec, ... Create a shortcut to the DOSBox executable. Put it anywhere you like. Set …
