That guy's descriptions of the MD-DOS 3.3 (first one above) are full of attempts to justify his asking price of $8,000. I think the second one is not unreasonable.
Re: The Natural Evolution of the Retrogamer.

On second thought, maybe I never got evolved in the first place. Even after having some respectably fulfilling "do-it-all" machines, I still tend to keep a 486 machine, a Pentium machine, and constantly keep playing in these machines the games that I feel like playing again and again, including some …

Re: Command and Conquer blank screen but audio ok

A bit of an IT half wit so sorry if this is obvious. Loaded C&Q via DOSBox in D-fend reloaded. When I load though I can hear the music but the screen is blank. If I do CTRL-ALT-DLT and then select task manager I can see a condensed version of the game screen all working perfectly. How can I get it …

Errmmm...how about Comanche Maximum Overkill (1992)? It supports SVGA 640x480 high res. And Lucasarts' Monkey Island 2 (1991) and Fate of Atlantis (1992) supports high res EGA at an odd 640x200 resolution. They look stretched rather than looking like a pure high res games in EGA.
Re: How to launch dos games with dosbox turbo on android (galaxy s2)?
Posted on 2013-02-09, 05:10
Make a folder in your phone or sd card and put all your dos related files in their sub-folders in there. As an example let's name it simply "Dos". for e.g. /storage/sdcard/Dos or /storage/extSdCard/Dos (external SD card) so your Alone in the Dark files should be in the /storage/sdcard/Dos/Alone (if …
Re: PC Speaker humming noise in Dosbox.

Ok, I have attached the recorded sound files using my phone. Hope you can hear it. Maybe it has got to do with the drivers and/or software interference, but anyway here they are. There are two files in the bigger kq2_noize.zip. It contains the wav file which is a converted file from the original m4a …
PC Speaker humming noise in Dosbox.

May I know what is the problem with a low humming and irritating noise which follows a pc speaker's sound/beep? It only exists on certain setups. Currently it is produced in my laptop running Windows 7 x64 and my desktop pc running Windows XP x86. Thing is, I don't remember it being there previously …

Thanks all. And the BBS-sque graphics do bring fond memories. Previously I used to create my own batch files with the so many IFs and GOTOs as mentioned too. I even created my OWN batch installers when I found the original install.bat files to be lame or too bland. Remember those games that force …
