Does onboard audio cause the same problems as onboard video as far as resouce-sharing is concerned?

Just mount the same directories that you mounted when you installed the game. (It has to be exactly the same directories - if you mounted C:\Games or whatever as drive …

I would like to see this film eventually (as well as Get Lamp, the text adventure documentary), but I don't really want to pay fifty bucks to do so. Maybe there will be a local screening someday.

I got a free one-year license for BitDefender a while ago. It seems it was responsible for the terrible performance on one of my computers; a bit of searching turns up a lot of bitter complaints about its CPU usage. There is some indication that by default it checks hourly for definition updates. …

I would have never guessed that PopCap's games used tracker music; I imagined they just used some streaming music format. Are trackers frequently used in other recent, non-PopCap games as well? Sorry, prolly a dumb question, but what is "Uplink"? Another game that lists Mr. Hajba in its credits, …

Gee, I completely lost track of what he was up to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hajba I probably won't buy Bejeweled 3 unless I can get it for five bucks or less (which will happen someday), but now I have another reason to finally install Uplink.

if so you could try downloading older versions of KERNEL32.dll and put it in the game folder KERNEL32.DLL is the core of the Windows operating system. It is not, to my knowledge, something you can casually drop into the game's program directory. It's odd that SUnMapLS_IP_EBP_12 seems to be a fairly …

Even if it's not a USB-to-serial adapter, using Portmon to examine the traffic on the serial port isn't such a bad idea, I think. It means that a recent development version of DOSBox has a serial port related bug fixed, though I do not know wether that affects your application or not. Can I get this …

By the way, if you're using a USB-to-serial adapter, previous experience suggests they may not work very well with some older serial devices, or at least not as well as a genuine serial port on an I/O card. [Disclaimer: this relates solely to my own individual experiences from years ago and others, …

Often in such games initial entry is done arcade-style, by selecting a letter with the up-and-down keys. I suspect it would act much the same on genuine hardware and is thus by no means a DOSBox glitch.

Oops, I missed that you were trying to use a hardware serial port. I was under the impression that you need the Megabuild version to do that.

It may be trying to read from a path or file that does not exist. The best method I have found for diagnosing such problems is the DOSBox debugger ; while it does a lot of other things, it also shows what paths or files a program in DOSBox is trying to access. Sometimes it is possible to rearrange …

So, if all the files are in one directory, can that be mounted as bootable, or do I have to have an ACTUAL image file? You need an actual image file. If you have a physical floppy disk (and a physical floppy drive), you can use RaWriteWin to make the image. Otherwise, the easiest way would be to …
