Re: Which OS?

Posted on 2012-01-17, 20:21

Right now I have MS-DOS 6.22 and a pimped out Windows 3.11 WFWG installed on it (has TCP/IP stack installed, a shell mod, etc), however i'm looking to replace the Win 3.11 to something more "modern" for that era. Is there something in particular that you want to do with this computer for which MS- …

To be blunt: rather than ask what you can play, mightn't it be pertinent to ask what you want to play? Because if you can't think of anything, why bother? (And why would you even consider doing video editing on anything not up-to-date?) I guess there's Star Control 2, but really your experience …

The problem is, when making cd images with cdrdao, a toc/bin pair is created. So... don't use cdrdao? I was under the impression that the vast majority of CD image creators used cue files and not .toc at this point. The man page for toc2cue also contains many caveats: Please note that the resulting …

Re: Pentium Pro system - cmos checksum errors

It will post and I can get into the BIOS, but I keep getting CMOS checksum errors and I'm assuming this is because the CMOS battery is shot? I'll have to get a new one (and for the other box too). Do they still sell these at Radio Shack? That depends entirely on what kind of battery it is. If it's …

I am curious - does anyone have any experience with PCLinux? I am running it on an old P3 1100 MHz. I'm running the 2009 version. It's *not* as fast as win98 - I had to max out the RAM to 768 Mb to get any reasonable performance. It also helped a lot when I switched to 7200 RPM DMA 66 hard drive …

Re: Blood cd tracks problem

Posted on 2012-01-16, 15:45

Then I mounted the cd tracks like this: (the tracks are in the "tracks" folder) mount D /home/*user*/ tracks/ -t cdrom CD audio doesn't work that way. You'll need to make a .cue file and use "imgmount" in DOSBox, or alternatively burn the tracks to a CD image using a CD-burning program. Or you can …

Well, if that's the case, then someone ought to update that first page I linked to. The other question, of course, is: does it work with PG3? 🤣

That is Direct3D, not DirectDraw. You'll also note it does not go back before DX8. http://wiki.winehq.org/WineD3DOnWindows It turns out DX7 will do something if you hack the executable of the game you want to run. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=25939

So, is this anything like ddhack? http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=25844 For that matter, does ddhack, cnc-ddraw, and/or ddfix work at all for PG3? Since a complete DirectDraw rewrite is apparently unfeasible, I wonder if it might be possible to make some kind of framework that an end-user …

Re: I want an "Ultimate DOS" gaming rig but... is this too powerful?

Be careful, though, because once you get started building old gaming rigs you're going to start wondering about ways to tweak the system for better performance or the advantages of one piece of hardware over another and that will lead to building even more systems for "testing and evaluation", …
