I doubt anyone would go out of their way to get an old version, even if they were looking at the compatibility list. The Linux distro thing sounds likely though.

Yeah, sounds like you probably downloaded it with MSIE and had it set to close the progress window when completed, and the download got cut off.

Is there a program called "what" or "which" on the CD?
Re: number of files in directory

I really don't think you could put more than 1024 or so files in a directory in DOS... Hopefully Qbix or someone will comment.
Re: Problem with display with fullfixed setting

I don't have any advice, but I can tell you that the problem is probably related to the fact that 1280x1024 is not a 4:3 aspect ratio resolution. You'll probably want to experiment with different output= and/or scaler= settings to make it look better.

Broderbund sucks. Every couple of years they seem to forget their whole product line ever existed and start over from scratch.

Yes, it's best to try the CVS source, as many fixes and improvements have been added since 0.63. It's quite stable as many people are testing it all the time (on Win32 and Linux at least).

I don't understand. You hit a key but nothing happens or something?

Just out of curiosity, where did you hear about DOSBox 0.62? We'd like to let everyone know that 0.63 is the latest version (and even it is old now).

Yeah I think 99.9% of its use is to have .jpg images as desktop backgrounds...

In general computer/video-related discussion, "monochrome" is usually used to refer to a display which can show either one color or the absence of that color (typically black & white, black & green, black & amber, etc.). A display that could only be all white or all black would be pretty useless... …

Please read the requesting help guidelines and submit more information. For example, which CVS build are you running? What DOSBox settings are you using? (what output mode? fullscreen or windowed? etc.) Also, true testers never assume that their specific system configuration is not to blame :p
Re: shell: redirect output to null - what does it mean

It means that the game tried to display something, but that it had previously instructed DOSBox to throw away the output instead of showing it on the screen.
Re: Need Help please

First of all, you're using directories with long filenames (longer than 8 characters). This is BAD because it causes lots of confusion. Just make a D:\oldgames or something. Second, for some reason in your example when you do `D:` to switch to the d: drive, the Z:\> prompt should change to D:\> but …

Why would the game want to write if it thought it was running from a CD-ROM? I'm confused about your setup. Either the game is already installed and you should be doing something like this: mount c c:\games cd mm2 loadfix mm2 Or you need to install it first: mount c c:\games mount d -t cdrom -ioctl …

I recommend disabling Active Desktop on all versions of Windows because it sucks up lots of resources (memory, CPU, and even graphics speed and network bandwidth depending on what you have on your desktop) A common use of Active Desktop is to use MSIE for displaying JPEG or GIF wallpapers. I convert …
