As far as I know there was only a floppy version unless you're talking about Wizardry Gold, but Wiz:Gold is a Windows-only application.

VDMSound, among other things, is a sound emulator, but only for running games in a DOS window in Windows. It won't do anything in DOSBox, as DOSBox is a Windows program.

Did you follow the instructions linked on the game download page? The link points here: http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2251 I think it's extremely odd that it comes as a CD image, as it's a floppy game. Seems like they're making it harder than it needs to be to run the game. Also …

That would be an interesting idea. Seems like it would be easier to just emulate the whole thing though. The real problem right now either way is that the ROMs are too scarce.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it. I just thought it would be nice to be lazy it could be done automatically with no downside, but it doesn't look worth it. Thanks for putting some thought into it and aswering my question 😀
Re: Patch for Tseng SVGA support is available in SourceForge
Posted on 2005-08-14, 09:14
vasyl, I was wondering if you might have some kind of feature matrix/speadsheet that you keep for your own reference to know what is supported by the various SVGA chipsets that you're developing emulation for. I ask because your last post mentioned that certain things are only possible with ET4000 …

Actually, I'm almost positive that both games only use 8 bit color for everything, including movies.
Re: X-Wing Collectors Series (Windows version)
Posted on 2005-08-14, 02:32
That would sure be nice. Now that I have some real MIDI synths, it's just not worth it to run the Windows version of even X-Wing as opposed to running the DOS version in DOSBox.

Just a small footnote: If your synth reports buffer overflows when running DOSBox, try lowering your cycles and re-running the game until you no longer get buffer overflows during the sysex transfer. If the game runs too slowly at that cycle setting, you can always use ctrl+F12 to turn the cycles …

I'm surprised that the movies aren't Bink or Smacker. I guess Interplay/Black Isle didn't start using it until later?
Re: Blood Money requires heavy hacking to get it running under DOSBox

I wonder if it would be possible for functionality to be added to DOSBox to make it detect these executables that need LOADFIX when you try to run them, and then to compensate automatically?
Re: Quake 3 Source Code to be released!
Posted on 2005-08-14, 02:15
Source code to other famous titles has been released as well (Descent and Marathon come to mind), but I have to respect iD's consistency in releasing the source for their various titles over the years. I wonder if it's not a coincidence that Raven has finally transitioned from making Quake 3 engine …
Re: DOS Box with Windows 3.1 Emulation

I've heard that you can boot Windows 3.1 in the CVS builds of DOSBox. Check the development forum for more info.

Re: JOYSTICK.HOW TO..?
Posted on 2005-08-12, 14:04
If the joystick is working and configured in Windows, then DOSBox should detect it on startup and display information about the joystick in DOSBox's console window. If this is happening then in DOSBox it should act just like a normal 2-button joystick plugged into a DOS computer.

Some older games crash if the memsize is higher than the default, which is probably why Qbix decided to set it where it is. As for Windows Fallout, I don't know. Maybe try doing a full install of the game, which takes the CD-ROM out of the equation (the game has no CD check if you install everything …
Re: No sound in Loom
Posted on 2005-08-12, 13:52
I'm pretty sure the CD-ROM version of Loom uses Redbook audio tracks for the music and speech in the game. There are multiple reasons why you may be having problems: - When games tell Windows to play audio tracks from a CD, Windows always passes these commands to the first CD drive in your system (I …

ACT 4.0 contains fixes for "Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat" and "Mechwarrior 2: Titanium Trilogy". I don't know if either applies to your version.

Try: DOS32A GAME.EXE Where GAME.EXE is whatever the EXE file is that you normally use to run the game.
