Re: DOSBox0.74-4:Everything Crashing With Error Message?

64bit and dynamic core don't like each other. To verify, open dosbox and enter Core dynamic If it crashes, that's the problem. To fix you need to compile the SVN of Dosbox

That's a very weird way to use Windows 3.x in Dosbox on a mac. If you want to use Windows 3.x, you only need dosbox, not another partition... Anyway, give Wine or Crossover a try to play it on OS X...

It's an emulator. Just googling a bit or looking at the dosbox.com site would have spared you the inital apology. But Dosbox is a dos emulator for games. People running other kind of programs often aren't happy with it...

Hmm, these keys are probsbly not supported by iDos. Best contact Litchie via Dospad (same thing as ipad) https://github.com/litchie/dospad. Even though I do owe Litchie a lot, supporting ipad here is a bit problematic, especially when it comes to very idos specific problems.

Follow the 60 seconds guide to install and play it and then report back at which step you have problems.

What collector meant is what I wrote. For some games it is best to install them within dosbox not outside of dosbox.

YOU don't need to, the world does not revolve around you. Most people do like that the classics are made available again in a way that is easy to use and does not even mean they need to mess with old hardware or DOSBox with its confusing mounting stuff. And that for a tiny fraction of the original …

Racoon, not everybody wants to be a pirate. When classics are made available again it also gives a warm cuddly feeling to fans. Not to mention they are always taken care a bit to work on modern systems again. also, PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST TO ANYONE TO PIRATE GAMES IN THIS FORUM!

by following the 60 seconds guide 😀 (basically doing what you would be doing with real DOS) Some games *will* have problems or just won't run if the paths in DOSBox don't reflect the paths that were used when you installed them.

This smells like illegal copy (since you don't have the CDs). Find your CDs and follow the 60 seconds guide. Use latest Dosbox

Run setup or install and make sure the SB IRQ is set to 7 (or let it autodetect, I think Duke does that), or follow the 60 seconds guide and install it fresh.

But isn't it kind of lame if you already have a function and just use that to make a large number? The next one can make that just larger. Or is it about A using one function for getting to a large number and B using another function AND then you compare who got the larger one? That I could kind of …

Sorry, but I seriously don't understand that. Numbers are infinite so you know every large number exists and there are always larger numbers. Listing a large number is to me like listing any number. If you'd be discussing prime numbers, a new prime number or so I'd see a point, but this is beyond me …

Can you explain to me what the point of this is? So you can think of a large number, good for you 😉

No, legally speaking, it's not ok. You could try to get Disney to allow it. But that would only make them notice your illegal activities sooner. Just don't distribute game data. If you want to use it, make your installer to copy them off the original CDs.

Youtube does not make any monetary profit, right. It does make money which code didn't at all, I guess. But Youtube is popular. Google Code was never really popular, it had its high time but in the last two or three years I saw the devs leaving it for other platforms.
