Always use the latest DOSBox. Copy the contents of the BB102 patch into the game's folder and run UPDATE.BAT in DOSBox.

Then you have a Win only game.

win.com for Windows. It is trying to load windows first. You need to install the DOS version, if there is one. See if there is an INSTALL instead of SETUP.

I have also used a blank ISO with the OGGs for games that don't need data off of the CD for game play, just the audio tracks.

For my installers I use CDR-Tools. It requires cygwin1.dll for the Windows port. I use mkisofs to make an ISO and cdda2wav to rip the audio tracks. There are a number of tools you can use to compress the WAV files to OGG. I have used IsoBuster to generate a CUE file, but I have always had to …

If it is really a concern to keep the window branded, could it be done in a way to limit the number of characters that can be used, so that it is the custom title that still gets clipped and the last few would be reserved for DOSBox? In other words, "Really Long Title Name Here... - DOSBox SVN".

On my i7 with 6GB RAM I never use IE64, so it is not prefetched. I generally don't use IE at all, but when I do, I use the 32-bit version because of the lack of a 64-bit version of Flash. Trying your challenge both opened near instantaneously. far too brief to measure without some kind of tool. …
Re: Need advice about migrating Win7 x86 -> x64

That is mostly because of the way Win7 x64 manages memory. Superfetch uses up memory to help load your most common applications faster, but it releases it as needed. Here is an article on 4sysops that compares the differences between 32 and 64 bit systems: The most significant advantage of a 64-bit …

I have found that x64 is generally more stable and feels snappier than its x86 counterpart, perhaps in part because of the lack of some of some of the legacy baggage. It is nice to have the extra address space for memory intensive things. The only real drawback really is the lack of 16-bit support …

How about reversing it to "Document - Application". That way if you have more than one DOSBox instance you can tell which is which on the taskbar at a glance. Firefox and some other applications do this. And the window would still be branded with DOSBox.

The driver can be made to work on x64, but not by the INF install. I wrote an NSIS script that will install the driver on x64 as well as Win32. KingGuppy has the NSIS script, but it is up to him as to what to do with it. I don't know if he has had a chance to look at it yet or not.

In part because they couldn't get the inf install to work on 64-bit Windows. I've played with the ZMBV codec installer back then, but that's aiming at installing the 32bit files on a 64bit system (WoW64 stuff) so that may not be of interest to you. If the nsis solution is quite straightforward that …

Why are you using nsis and not an .inf file? In part because they couldn't get the inf install to work on 64-bit Windows. @ KingGuppy, Check your PM. I have commented it where it might not be so clear. Most of the required includes should come with the default install of NSIS, except for possible " …

Sure, but I need to iron out a few things first. I tested it on XP and worked as expected, but it is proving to be a little inconsistent on Win7 64-bit. It seems to be a system32/SysWOW64 issue. I also want to make sure that it uninstalls cleanly. Once I get that sorted out and get it cleaned up/ …
