Im working in a designing office and were working on a self-written programme that we used until win10 came along. In win7 we used Microsoft Virtual PC and all worked well. But Win10 does not supports Virtual PC, so we decided to go to Dosbox with hope to work it out ... That's probably not a good …

Sorry I did not consider these info as useful since problems are in vitual machine. The 3D hardware in VMware still effectively uses the 3D hardware in your main system. If there is something wrong with your ATI 5870, then using VMware may not necessarily solve the problem. Probably GOG version is …

A yellow tinge would be consistent with a weak Blue signal. Have you checked the cable connector?

More information is needed. What is your graphics card? What is your main OS? What OS are you running in VMware? Is there something in particular that leads you to believe that these games "are not working in my native PC due mainly to drivers" ? Fahrenheit in particular is available on GOG (and …

Anyway, I'd thought about including an IPS patch as an alternate way to apply the changes, but the couple of IPS tools I tried won't work with files larger than 16 MB. However, I think a Windows patching utility that can apply the "difference" to a 160 MB file would suit your purpose quite well, …

Maybe the problem is that the device is a retropie (=Raspberry Pi) and the game is one of the last dos games (1997!).... That is very unlikely. At worst, it would only work slowly. If it works on Windows, it should work under Linux on your Pi, unless somehow you're using a very different version of …

I than make an startup script which changes to c:/tlw and executes the game file express.exe If that was supposed to work, then the GOG script would include a "cd tlw" command. Evidently in this case you need to mount /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/TLE (presumably the directory that includes express.exe …

It seems to me much more likely that they're just guessing and have no idea how they would get a game from twenty years ago running in Windows 3.x. That said, if http://stephan.win31.de/w32slist.htm is any indication, this probably isn't a DOSBox problem. I might guess that it would be possible to …

To be clear, if you only want to run things like Mathstorm, Dark Seed 2, Keen 5, Monster Bash, and Wolfenstein, then in that case Intel Graphics will be exactly as good as a Voodoo3.

So you're using Windows 10 now? Some problems have been reported in other games due to Safedisc being incompatible with newer versions of Windows. Re: Wizardry 8 used to work, but now it crashes on startup.

By all accounts this is a spectacularly awful game. Are you using an original disk? If you're using a version you illegally downloaded from somewhere, it could easily be incomplete, or you might be encountering a copy protection mechanism.

No AGP, no ISA and no DDMA (that limits your choice of sound cards for DOS) capabilities. The availability of ISA and DDMA has absolutely nothing to do with whether there is an integrated AGP device present. Looks like there is currently no listing for a Voodoo3 PCI on ebay. Looks I may have to go …
