Sure, or take a screenshot or something.

The jacks on the back are also a bit different, I have to connect speakers or earphones to the 2 red and white RCA jacks on the back using a splitter, otherwise I don't get any sound using the line in jack This is confusing. Are you trying to listen to something plugged into the Line In jack? (It's …
Re: dos "start" command within dosbox
Posted on 2009-10-28, 14:08
You could pass variables to DOSBox when it starts by including appropriate "set var=value" lines in the autoexec.bat section of the config file. Passing values back from DOSBox to Windows programs is not something that I think is particularly feasible, unless you could write values to a text file …

Y'know, you can delete your posts on this board. I found this old thread , but I don't know if that utility will work in Windows. If it doesn't, you might be able to manage something with a DOS bootdisk and (if your hard drive is NTFS formatted) maybe a DOS USB driver, and then run the installer …

In theory, you could UUencode the driver and then type it out manually on the laptop. In the unlikely event that there is no UUdecode utility on the laptop already (most decompressors support it), there are also versions of UUdecode that can be typed out manually, perhaps even with "copy con" if you …

Precisely. You should probably try integrating DOSBox.exe into your scripts rather than trying to run the scripts inside DOSBox.

Why is it on IRQ10, anyway? Do you have many other devices installed on this computer? If you never intend to print, for example, you can probably disable the onboard parallel port in the BIOS and free up IRQ7. If you're not using a modem or a serial mouse, you can disable the onboard serial ports, …

Furthermore, as I alluded to in my post above, the DOS version, far from abandonware, can still be purchased from the 3D Realms store for $6. http://www.buy3drealms.com/ Kinda makes it an odd candidate for getting ported like this, really, but I guess Remedy is more open-minded about these things …

What happens if you change PnP OS to "off" ? Also, are you using some kind of fancy hard drive controller card, or just the standard interface on your motherboard?

How mysterious. Do you still have the manually-configured IRQs in your BIOS? Have you tried toggling the "Plug n Play OS Installed" option?
Re: Backup Software For Windows 98 SE?

After that initial task, when I wanted to do a backup, I hooked up the spare backup hard drive as a slave. Then I simply used Total Commander (aka Windows Commander) to copy the primary hard drive contents to the slave in verbatim. Anytime I wanted to perform a new complete backup, I erased …

It would be helpful is you could suggest possible commands that might be used in an actual file. I don't see them very often and can't think of a good example. It is fairly uncommon for a program to require so many command line arguments and also be launched from a .bat file. And finnaly, I gather …

So, basically you're asking someone to kindly give you a $200 charitable donation? If someone else is willing to pay $200 for "an old game", why should someone just hand it over to you for much less because it is an "old game" ? No, I'm not asking for a $200 donation - I'm asking that some one sell …

That's quite common. Those are placeholders for command line arguments - but I think you put the percentage signs in the wrong spots. If you had a file called foo.bat that contained the line bar.exe %1 %2 /whatever then if you ran foo.bat quux quoz the batch file would actually execute bar.exe quux …
