EDIT: As a bonus, this BIOS seems to fix the problems with pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL - before, doing this would hang the system, but it works gracefully now, which is good considering quitting vQuake causes the system to hang. I am not sure if this will help in your case, but Quake and some other newer …

They were also sold in Norway. I bought a few of them in the mid nineties and they came on blue 3.5" floppy disks. I have these: - 'Allo 'Allo Cartoon Fun - Bio Menace - Blade Warrior - Carnage - Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle - Galactic Warrior Rats - Huckleberry Hound in Hollywood Capers - …

Qbix wrote: Btw is that with the unpatched build as well ? As that would make it a possible bug in our code I have now tested Hoyle 3 on a real DOS machine and the same thing happens there (and yes, also happens in the pure SVN build). I suspect this is an isolated issue with this particular game.

In Hoyle 3 you can bypass this problem by starting the game with: SCIDHUV -fw 0 0 200 320. Use lower case on -fw or you will get an error message. Tested with a few other SCI games and they seem to work OK (Eco Quest and Castle of Dr. Brain)

Could you post your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat contents? IIRC there should be some enviroment variables set in the autoexec.bat, there is for the Voodoo 2, but not 100% sure if they are needed for the banshee I am away at the moment and won't have access to my retro rig before the start of July. …

Try to boot without EMM386 loaded. This solved the DOS Glide crash issues for me. My system has a 440BX chipset, P3 500E CPU and Voodoo 3 3000 AGP
Re: Don't buy Asus X99 boards
Posted on 2016-04-21, 21:13
I have not had any bad experiences with Asus boards. Sinces the late 90's I have built computers with Epox, Abit, Intel and Asus motherboards. The first three have disappeared or stopped making motherboards, so in my current build I have used an Asus X99-A/USB 3.1 board. It has been rock stable with …

Re: ykhwong's latest build?
Posted on 2015-01-12, 19:57
Isolated the bug within the menu code itself. I believe, not positive yet, that the cycles updating in the menu bar is causing the midi bug. To test this, run Ykhwong's build of dosbox with cycles=max, test the midi, then change to cycles=25000, and then test the midi again. It seems like fixed …
Re: ykhwong's latest build?
Posted on 2015-01-07, 22:32
I have an issue with this latest build. Some games no longer work correctly with General MIDI. The games start fine, but no music. I have tested several Doom engine games that all exhibit the same problem (Doom, Doom2, Hexen, Heretic). Managed to get music on Doom some times, but rarely. Other games …

Press F3. It looks like it turns off some kind of anti-aliasing. I think it look sharper and it solves the problem on my setup. I also have to switch the detail level from Mip Mapping to Normal to get rid of black lines beetween the floor tiles.

I am sure it was working (on PIII450) as i was trying to figure out reason for blinking text. (too fast cpu btw). Got Dreams to Reality working as well on my 440BX system. Really strange that it crashes on all my Socket 7 systems, but works on this system. I guess it can be updated as running, but …
Re: Weird AWE64 Gold problem

The problem was with the ctmix.cfg file. For some reason it was read-only with low midi volume setting. Things are working as normal now 😀

Yes, I've checked the mixer utility. Sound level is properly adjusted. (I haven't made any changes to the system from yesterday)
Weird AWE64 Gold problem
Posted on 2010-07-31, 21:27
I have a weird issue with my Retro PC. It's been working fine for years, but suddenly all adlib sounds are very weak. I noticed this today when I played Commander Keen 4. The music/sound was barely audible. After some troubleshooting I've found out this low-volume issue affects all games using adlib …

I use the Rolls MX41b passive mixer. It works flawlessly with my four sound cards (AWE64 Gold, Roland LAPC-I, Roland SCC-1, Gravis Ultrasound MAX). I have it connected to a set of Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 2.0 speakers.

Nice upgrades! :happyhappy: In the Windows 9x PC thread you also list a 12MB RAM upgrade for the AWE64. I'm just curious, is this an original Creative or a 3rd party addon for standard SIMMs? [...] so that I can use the 'Pro Patches Lite' set. I was mildly disappointed with the performance of the …
