I used to use Synchronet (SBBS) for my dialup BBS, and they ended up converting it into a telnet BBS software. I think it may still have a bunch of hacks/drivers/whatever to run door games over telnet with the SBBS software running on Windows or Linux.

I would like to see some Amiga screenshots of Flashback to substantiate those claims. Mobygames has screenshots from just about every other of the game's many ports, but not from the Amiga version.

Generally you'll want to mount in DOSBox the CD/floppy and also mount the folder you put your old games in, then run the installer inside of DOSBox.

I never trusted Skynet's SVGA mode - it blew out my monitor on real hardware 10-12 years ago (PII-450, nVidia TNT1 16MB AGP)

The PC joystick interface used by DOS games provided the following: - 4 analog axes (joy1 vertical, joy1 horizontal, joy2 vertical, joy2 horizontal) - 4 on/off fire buttons (intention was for 2 buttons on joy1 and 2 buttons on joy2) The game is asking you to circulate the stick so that it can …

Tested with 0.73 under Windows 7 x64 RC1 and the popping sounds before and after the PC speaker effects in Wiz7 are still present.

- when I tried to go full-screen, the colors looked all wrong (happens in Starcraft too, so I think Win7 just sucks at 8-bit color). close all instances of Explorer.exe because the Taskbar in Windows 7 is displayed "on top" of other windows fucking the palette up in old 8bit games that use similar …

After I run the Win32 installer from sourceforge.net on 64-bit Windows 7 RC1, I get a "this program may not have installed correctly" warning. Everything seems to be okay though.

Not sure if it's what people are looking for, but there's a semi-detailed 0.72->0.73 changelog on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php? … lease_id=685514 Edit: Oh, nevermind, the question was for a full changelog since DOSBox first went onto sourceforge I guess.

What IDE/UltraDMA transfer rates/modes does the controller support? Have you tried using an 80-pin IDE cable? Also, make sure the jumpers are set on the drives for master and slave (not "cable select" or "single drive") and try swapping which IDE cable connector is connected to which drive.

Shouldn't be a big risk if the enclosure is kept sealed since there are no moving parts inside :p I was thinking you were going to say it might cause EMI issues.
