While I go figure out how to make Windows 98 only see 512 mb ram This is another problem that has been addressed many, many times over the last twenty years. There are edits you can make to system.ini that may or may not solve the problem, or you can use HIMEMX or XMSDISK in your startup to limit …

Anyways in the Directx 6 SDK a sample app for Directdraw can render on Voodoo 2 in 2D.

I wonder what those options …

Should I install separate drivers for MS-DOS? You would have to find them first. But DOS compatibility for PCI sound cards has always been a tricky thing, and I doubt they exist for this particular card. OFFTOPIC: where should I ask about problems with Windows itself? I dunno, every thread seems to …

That's because Half-Life Source is the port of HL to the new Source engine of HL2 at the time. Which was a DX9-only engine. Maybe it is now, but back in the day there was definitely a DX8 renderer available via a command line switch. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1421458 …

Oh by the way, sometimes when I want to test sound via DOS apps(eg for Redguard) it says that C-Media Mixer is occupied by another application. I'm not sure what to do. So you're trying to run these games while Windows is running? BattleSpire and Redguard are probably some of the most demanding DOS …

The old drives with the separate front panel jacks and play/advance buttons are genuinely neat. And I guess some of the slower ones are nice since they stay quiet without requiring any fiddling with drivers. And if you have SCSI, then I suppose you need a SCSI drive. Then there are some specific …

There's also SoundFX 2000. It was designed for NT but it's open source now so if you have some programming skills then you can have at it. That's hilarious.

I was thinking of something else in that thread, I think. This isn't really a "bug"; it's the way DOSBox was written. Probably the easiest way to do what you suggest would be to redirect the output of whatever you are running in DOSBox to a file within DOSBox, and then read the file. Like, if you …
