Re: Water-Cooled Win98se Computer

Hm. Looks like the CPU speed limit problem was actually fixed specifically in 98SE, but not earlier. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/312108 I reckon it's not at all unlikely that there might be some third-party driver with a bug no one ever bothered to fix, but who knows.

Re: Dosbox Win95 - disk size 2GB limit hack?

it has very limited ability to support "booters", such as what would be required to boot an OS like Win95 or OS/2, or even Linux. When I think "booters", I think of ancient PC software that ran off bootable floppy disks that were not technically DOS – and those work just fine in DOSBox most of the …

Re: Backing up DOS era CD-ROM games?

in DOS
If ImgBurn won't do, I would go for IsoBuster. Unfortunately, the shareware version comes with some limitations, but it should be able to take care of most things. I can't recall ever having a situation where the disc drive wouldn't open. Usually holding down the Eject button is sufficient to …

Re: Dosbox help

I put the game in C:\ ProgramFiles (x86) wolf\ wolf3d-v11-vgus That doesn't make any sense. Perhaps you can take a screenshot? You should follow the 60 Seconds Guide . If that is too complicated, try a frontend like D-Fend Reloaded. If that is still too complicated, you can buy the game at GOG.com …

Re: DOSBox And Physical Floppy Drive Question

Do you think if there is a chance to boot to DOS in a virtual drive (like VirtualBox, VMWare, etc.) with access to the floppy? We already spent two pages trying to discuss that and getting nowhere. Actually no need my NTFS drives to be accessed since I can use the floppy diskettes. No problem to …

Re: CD audio missing - my research

in Windows
A hex editor? Yes? That is the standard nomenclature for a tool used to make arbitrary edits to binary files such as executables. You probably wouldn't want to use a text editor, since a lot of binary data has no text equivalent and some text editors might end up stripping out data that they can't …

Re: DOSBox And Physical Floppy Drive Question

Well, I'm glad that solves the problem. Even if you can get something running with some DOS emulator, you'll probably end up with different problems. The only thing I might want to add is that there are, in fact, utilities such as NTFS4DOS that provide read-only access NTFS drives in DOS. There …

Re: CD audio missing - my research

in Windows
So far I tried renaming winm0 to winmm with no success, and have tried various other versions that are supposed to work with Win10. I'd be keen to know how ZellSF got the Shadows Of The Empire winmm implementation to work for other games, as he mentions above, but I'm not sure he visits these parts …

Re: CD audio missing - my research

in Windows
You've been poking around with Process Monitor, right? Can you see the applications trying to access the winmm.dll in the game folder? If editing is required, it should just be a fairly trivial matter of replacing every instance of "winmm" with "winm0".

Re: Leisure Suit Larry 2 mouse control help

I just noticed on my retropie that there was a dos emulator and thought I would try it out. That's not even an official version of DOSBox, if I'm not mistaken. You will probably find that the game runs without problems in the Windows version of DOSBox. You may want to consider asking on a Retropie …
