Re: Long file name support

I have the source code for all the programs and I have looked into converting them into "True BASIC" but it is not as easy as it sounds. Have you even looked at FreeBASIC? You are not the first person who has ever needed to run QuickBASIC code on a modern machine, even with QuickPak routines ( …

No, the first option would definitely be the way to go. As previously mentioned, the other possibility would be to look for a BIOS update for your motherboard to enable large drive support.

You need to make sure the jumper on your hard drive is set correctly! It might even have a jumper setting to limit its capacity to make it more compatible for legacy purposes.

CHGCOLOR 0:63 7:0 is the only example you need. If CHGCOLOR 0:63 7:0 changes the colors from light grey on black to black on white, then CHGCOLOR 0:xx 7:63 is going to change the color to white on something else. And fortunately, a reference for the EGA color palette is not hard to find. http://en. …

Are you saying that you don't have the original source for these files anywhere? Because there are free alternatives to QuickBASIC which can easily run old QuickBASIC source code in Windows, namely FreeBASIC. Is there any software package available (similar to DOSBox), that will allow me to run my …

There are two completely different versions of Leisure Suit Larry 6. If you have the VGA version, then there is nothing whatsoever you can do to make it run in SVGA. http://hg101.kontek.net/lsl/lsl4.htm If you bought the game on GOG.com , they apparently changed the bundle to include the SVGA …

Yep, everything is right. HDD master = IDE1 CD ROM i think slave = IDE2 And I was thinking about new motherboard... Well Ill see tmrw... The cd drive must be master on channel 2. Yes indeed. Also, if the HDD is alone on its channel, there may be a specific jumper setting for "Master with No Slave …

If so is there any option to install win 95 from floppy's? How I remember like 13 floppy's. If you can't get this working, you might as well find a better Socket 7 motherboard. You're only going to have more problems down the line. Did you check the Master/Slave jumpers on your drives, as I …

Bcse what is on that screen looks to me like simply I don’t have drivers for cd rom. And when I checked BIOS there is not a option for CD ROM. Just drive A and C. It is more likely that your BIOS is just so old that it doesn't support booting from CD-ROMs. If I'm not mistaken, the option to boot …

There is no config.sys in DOSBox; the only way to load device drivers is either by actually booting MS-DOS (or FreeDOS or whatever), or by using a device driver loader like devload. But never mind that; you don't need to load ANSI.SYS , as DOSBox already has its own built-in ANSI support. That's why …

I didn't know that :s-face:. I know they're obviously better when it comes to DOS compatibility, but what else? Simply put, the MIDI on the SB Live and suchlike is terrible. I had no idea just how bad it was until I compared it myself. Check out the samples I posted at http://www.vogons.org/ …

How can I change the DOSBox size (e.g., to 10x18) If I'm not mistaken, you can scale up the size by changing some of the options in DOSBox.conf. Try output=ddraw and scaler=normal3x. If you want to change the height of the screen in text mode, there's a trick for that: http://www.vogons.org/ …

Can I install both ISA and PCI cards in DOS ? (As long as there is a DOS driver, I should be fine, right ?) It is widely acknowledged that ISA sound cards are generally superior to PCI sound cards, but you can definitely use older PCI sound cards (like the Sound Blaster Live) on a Pentium II in DOS …

Your hard drive maybe too big. Pentium motherboards have issues with hard drives larger than 32gb. Look for a BIOS update for your board, follow the directions EXACTLY. Yes indeed. You should also check if the Master/Slave jumpers on your drives are set correctly. Also, you should let the BIOS auto …
