Sounds like that binary was compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ and the person forgot to include the MSVC++ DLLs with it. You might be able to get them from Microsoft's web site.
Re: 16-Bit VESA graphics?
Posted on 2005-07-02, 02:23
That's assuming that the current bottleneck for emulating high-color VESA modes is hardware rendering, which I find extremely hard to believe due to the fact that current video cards can easily handle full-motion video, 2D and 3D graphics at resolutions upwards of 1600x1200 and refresh rates well …

I'm assuming by "folio-style", you mean like the one that Starflight 1 came in: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/starflight/cover-art/gameCoverId,136/ Starflight was the first store-bought PC game I ever owned, and has remained one of my most favorite video games of all time. I got it for Christmas …

Ah, yes the old-school gameport connector. My nForce2-based motherboard (with nForce2 MCP/VAPU/Sonata and Realtek ALC655 codec - instead of Soundstorm unfortunately) has a pin header for a gameport/MIDI bracket but didn't come with a cable, and I can't find one that I'm sure is compatable (there …

You should give the onboard sound a try if it is something decent, such as a recent Realtek chipset. Creative is getting very stale in their role as top dog and even onboard sound chips are catching up.

Answer: Read the Readme file that comes with DOSBox. Look for anything about the "mount" command. Question: Was this supposed be a continuation of another thread?

That brings up some valid points, despite the rather tactless, confrontational manner in which they were expressed ( *zing* ). The relationship between performance and cost in computer hardware seems to be logarithmic. That is, once you reach a certain price level for a given type of hardware, any …

You may also want to try a recent CVS build (which contains experimental and work-in-progress changes since 0.63 was released) to see if your problem has been fixed since 0.63 came out. Also, did you try running with different core settings?

guli: The Sound Canvas supports GS, which is a superset of the GM (General MIDI) standard. This means that the Sound Canvas synthesizer can play any GM songs and they will sound correct. Games that support the Sound Canvas explicitly may not sound correct on synths that only support GM, but only if …

Nobody said anything about a shortcut 😕 Now that you mention it, this could be accomplished with a shortcut instead of a batch file, though.

Kippesoep: Are you sure the batch file window will close itself? I would think that he would need to use the start command in the batch file to accomplish this: @echo off c: cd \progra~1\dosbox-0.63 start dosbox -noconsole c:\games\kox\kx.exe If that doesn't work then maybe stick the -noconsole on …

I don't know anything about the Win9x port of VDMS, except that it exists. However, it could be that you got a corrupt vcredist.exe. Try getting it from somewhere else maybe?

When I select soundcanvas, it sounds exactly the same as SBPro. o_O For music or for sound? Note that if you select Sound Canvas, MT-32, MPU-401, LAPC-I, etc. in a game, then DOSBox will by default use whatever MIDI device you have selected in Windows (assuming you're on Windows) to play the music …

Well To be honest I don't have a clue. I recall in win98 you could get some properties(rightclick) on an executable and there was a set of keys as well. (which could be enabled disabled) Actually I think that only works for the properties of DOS programs and shortcuts in all versions of Win9x/2K/XP …

Agreed. Although I didn't care much for all the crazy shaped and sized boxes they were making in the mid 90s (I actually prefer the Wal-Mart sized boxes they use now over weird trapezoid shaped things that you can't open without a hacksaw), the regular large box design was just right for admiring on …

Damn, I was your age when that game came out. I couldn't play it when my mom was around because it had demons and topless women (in 16 colors!). Speaking of which, my previous avatar was one of the main end boss characters... Does your generation still like the old games? As a member of the Atari …
