A couple issues here. I couldn't get the sound working in 0.9.2 for either the CGA512 or regular FDOOM. I went back and tested 0.9.1 and the sound is fine. I tested with the most recent Staging, SVN and ECE. Also, I couldn't get the composite output to work in SVN or ECE. Staging it worked fine. …

You probably know this already, but if not, there are two *excellent* modern Windows remakes of the Blood game engine; BuildDGX and NBlood . Using either of these fixes all of the problems and limitations of the original DOS engine. Interested. One thing I would like is to overcome the lousy …

My family had a Zeos 386 that I played all the Lucasarts stuff on. P5 must have been the very end for them as a company. Everything after that one would have been Micron branded.

If you're going to make CD-Audio available, it might be a good idea to make sure it will play arbitrary Audio CDs. I have fond memories of just plopping in whatever CD I wanted to with Quake and it will sequence the tracks with levels. It skips track 1 iirc (for the data).

You may need to register the .DLL by opening an elevated command prompt, changing to the \windows\system32 directory and then issuing the command regsvr32.exe /r dllfilename.dll But if it's not a 32-bit .DLL, it probably won't be able to be loaded because of the removal of the 16-bit subsystem. Ok, …

I'm trying to get old screen savers working in Windows 10, but I ran into some problems. When the screensaver just has an *.scr file, it works fine, but I've run across some other screensavers that apparently have both an *.scr file AND a *.dll file. When I try to drop one of those in the System32 …

Thanks, I watched that one, but he doesn't use Windas, he uses DAS, which is an older version that works with DOS. Windas is the Windows compatible version and is has a totally different interface. It also doesn't work with a lot of newer Sony monitors, including the one I own.

I've found a bunch of pages showing how to adjust G1, but what I need is some explanation of other options in the Windas menu, mainly what will set the contrast …

DOSBox has no control over that, it just tells windows what resolution it wants the display to be. The display driver decides what specific timings will be used. Thanks. I followed up on this, and it was indeed my Nvidia drivers creating havoc. In order to get things to work properly, I had to …

Can you try something other than DOSBox at that custom resolution and see if you have the same issue ? The Windows 10 environment runs fine at 640x400. Some elements don't appear, for example, they delete things like the "expand" icon in the photo app, so you have to press F11 to go full screen. …

Ok. I think I know what's going on, but I still don't know exactly why it's going on. It appears to be related to the video timings that DOSBox is sending to the monitor. I created a custom resolution with specific timings in Nvidia control panel for my monitor's 640x400 resolution. I have the …

OK - I'm trying to run VGATV on the "weeCee" (Volaris Z9s chipset) and it detects the chipset as Tseng Labs but it the OSSC reports the signal as 263p (31.54 kHz, 119.93H) (using NTSC command-line option). If I try to play a Sierra game (ie. PQ1 AGI), the OSSC can't sync. The OSSC LCD flashes …
