This idea was in my mind in theory, but I just don't know how to copy the files to the K: Maybe there is a DOS command for that, but since I don't have a knowledge about DOS at all, I don't know how to do that. Don't you think that would be an easy thing to do? You type copy *.* k:\ The end. And do …

Let me understand something here. Why can't you just: 1. Make a boot floppy using "win98bootdisk" 2. Put your .ghk or .efe file on a second floppy disk 3. Boot your computer using the "win98bootdisk" 4. Eject the "win98bootdisk" and put in the second floppy disk 5. Copy the files from the second …

There's a utility called SDWRGMPD at http://bretjohnson.us/ that will in theory allow the use of a digital Sidewinder Gamepad in DOS. I doubt it works with other gamepads, though. (On that note, did anyone ever make a driver that permits the use of "digital" gameport pads in modern versions of …

EPSDISK.EXE works perfectly in Windows 98, that's why someone has created "win98bootdisk" with EPSDISK.EXE inside. But no any guide about how to use EPSDISK.EXE after the PC is booted in Win98 (as a Virtual RAM disk). Let's be clear: when you boot off the disk created with "win98bootdisk", you are …

I'm sure nobody has made the ReelMagic RTZ game work in Dosbox, because DOSBOX does not emulate special hardware. It wasn't clear you were referring to that game specifically. Certainly, there can't be more than a tiny handful of games (or at least, games that anyone today would consider playing) …

File system support, when booting from an image in DOSBox, is still OS-dependent, isn't it? Indeed, but I think there might be some sort of restrictions inherent to the handling of hard drive images by DOSBox. I am hazy on the details. Also, at least at one point, Windows 95a ran more easily on …
