Re: Green phosphor monitor

I suppose if they were easier to find, a lot more people would be using those green or amber or monochrome monitors. Let's start by saying that you should NOT buy one of these cables, as I have never seen any indication of a card with which they are actually compatible. http://www.monoprice.com/ …

Re: Old disk vs ssd

I think there ought to be a market for some kind of PC "rumble pak" that will simulate the experience of having a noisy physical hard drive inside. There is something vaguely satisfying about it. You can't have fun without having frustrations. It's the more you work, the more you suffer, the more …

I don't think it has any protection on disk. Runs on my Tandy without having to do anything. Back in the day there were various sorts of complex copy protection schemes that would not require you to do anything. Robot Odyssey, for instance, had a "weak bit" that would not be duplicated correctly if …

So does that mean that I have to manually write 256 pieces of code (one for each interrupt, as any one could be called at any time, without warning, by the underlying system), and make sure they behave in exactly the same way as the original real-mode versions of the interupts? What happens if I …

Why can't DosBox just include the parts of the SDL1 codebase that it requires instead of calling on it as an external library? Probably because dealing with other people's code is excruciating, and trying to only include particular parts while taking out other parts and getting everything to play …

Isn't the command to change back to real mode itself a "privileged instruction"? Doesn't that prevent returning to real mode, until you reboot the computer? "Triple faulting" was sometimes used to switch back to real mode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_fault It has come up in numerous posts …

1. The ability to change colors just like in CMD with a simple command: color. Useful if people use a different color scheme on their CMD and want to use it on DOSBox. Like for me, my preferred color schemes would be 0 3 (teal on black) or 5 E (yellow on purple). There is a utility by the name of …
