Happy Father's Day for you, too. I'll even celebrate twice, since we commemorate Father's Day in mid-August here in Brazil. Regads,

CVS stands for Concurrent Versions System, a version control system used to track changes made by a group of programmers to the source files of a program. However, programmers use the term "CVS" when they talk about the actual server that runs the version control system (the "CVS server") or the …
Re: EMS memory and XP
Posted on 2004-04-16, 04:50
Besides the point mentioned by MiniMax, are you sure that you ran the memory test under VMDS (in other words, using the "Run with VDMSound" option in the right-click menu)? It seems that you have at least 64kB of upper memory, but they are used as UMBs instead of an EMS frame. This is the default …
Re: New vid cards + VESA support
Posted on 2004-04-04, 16:35
I have always thought univesa to be quite old, so no gf4 chipset support. Right? Right, but for a different reason. Univesa was created to provide VESA BIOS calls for old cards that did not have complete VESA 2.0 or 3.0 support. Modern cards (like my GeFroce 4 MX440) do have VESA 3.0 support built- …
Re: Porting VDMSound to linux
Posted on 2004-03-30, 15:42
Or is it even possible? Sorry, but it is not. VDMSound is not a DOS emulator, it just provide virtual devices to the standard Windows NTVDM, so a DOS program believes it's running in a machine with a SoundBlaster card and a few more things. Since it's not a full emulator or a full VDM, it cannnot …

VOGONS is good
Posted on 2004-02-28, 02:17
According to The Gematriculator , VOGONS is 8% evil, 92% good. Basically, Gematria is searching for different patterns through the text, such as the amount of words beginning with a vowel. If the amount of these matches is divisible by a certain number, such as 7 (which is said to be God's number), …
Re: Strange issues: VESA support, General MIDI
Posted on 2004-02-28, 02:02
Vlad, I believe it's worth mentioning that the "Enable basic VESA support" option does nothing more than switching the VDM into full screen mode. It does not provide any extra VESA functions that would not be available otherwise. You loose nothing by switching int full screen with Alt-Enter manually …

The demo version of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (from the LucasArts Star Wars series) has an extra level that do not exist in the retail version of the game. How could I forget this? How can I resist posting to an old thread and summon the wrath of Snover? :sweatdrop: BTW, the demo is still …

Re: MT-32 emulator available again!
Posted on 2004-02-20, 14:35
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the MT-32 PCM ROM??? DOS_Boy, the only legal way to get the ROM is to own a MT-32 and dump the ROM contents by yourself. Since there are legal concerns about the copyright of the PCM samples you will not find any information in this site about how to get …
Re: A few quick questions on how to use the GUI
Posted on 2004-02-16, 20:05
Gundato, you say that the command line for the game should be: C:\dagger\DAGGER.EXE z.cfg However, the VDMSound shortcut you sent in your zip file has "-z.cfg" in the Arguments field (see image), resulting in a command line like: C:\dagger\DAGGER.EXE -z.cfg Which one is correct? Aren't you adding an …

Re: ultima 4 upgrade
Posted on 2004-02-13, 01:31
You need to set machine=vga in your dosbox.conf file in order to get the patched version of Ultima 4 to work under DosBox 0.61. The game is getting into trouble when it tries to detect the video card under 0.61, probably due to the new Tandy emulation. Setting DosBox to VGA solves this problem. …
Re: Crackling sound in Wing Commander III with SB-16 emulation
Posted on 2004-02-13, 00:54
My problems with understanding robertmo solution is how the drivers enter into the equation of game/sound driver/virtual sound card/VDMS and the host sound system. I thought that VDMSound was a complete replacement for the driver/card combination, a replacement that in no way uses whatever drivers …
Re: Crackling sound in Wing Commander III with SB-16 emulation
Posted on 2004-02-12, 21:38
So, my hypothesis so far is that the engine used by Origin has major problems with VDMSound and the SB-16 emulation. Or at least some major problems with VDMSound, SB-16 and your sound chip. From some reports in this site it seems that a few combinations of games and hardware eventually have …

I dunno if the computer stores in your area let you do this, but most here in the US let you return a soundcard for a full refund Remember he's using the onboard sound, so the only alternative here is to buy a new card. Anyway, I would not recommed a new card before some extra testing. DirectX 9.0 …
Re: Wing Commander III by Origin is runable with 0.61

Ok, I'll take the risk and continue this just a little bit more, before some moderator jumps in and send us to another forum: do you have DirectX 9.0 installed? I had some problems with VDMSound and also with old Windows games (based on older versions of DirectX) after I installed DX 9.0 and there …

MiniMax, I've just checked and I'm running WC3 under VDMSound with the following setup: - Music Card: MPU-401 General MIDI, I/O port 330h - Digital FX Card: SoundBlaster AWE, I/O port 220h, IRQ 7, DMA low 1, DMA high 5 Be sure to set up your VDMS shortcut to SoundBlaster 16 emulation and use IRQ 7, …
