My goal always is, choosing a PC-Configuration that can run a big bunch of different Software-Titles.
Therefore I choose the machine that is shown in my signature.
Due to the fact, that I choose a PII/Celeron instead of a Pentium1 or slower I get compatibility-issues
with old dos-software (games and demoscene-stuff)
My Win98se has all dosdrivers configured as well (EMS,mouse,SB16,GUS) but only newer Games/Demos
run as a Fullscreen-Dos under started Win98se. I could make a boot of a real installed Dos6.22, but
the machine is so fast, that some Games/Demos run under started Win98se Dos-Fullscreen, but
they don't run under plan Dos 6.22 on the same machine.
I came to the conclusion that Dosbox with Win98se should be a really good idea. I still got a 4:3 TFT,
the gfx in 320x200 looks good to me, but I need more CPU-Power because dosbos "emulates" all the
stuff and I do no need that. The hardwaremixing of the real gus does not draw performance ot of
the installed Celeron400 if it is used, but currently dosbox uses my SB16 (CT4170) to emulate the
gus. I would like to change dosbox to use the real gus and therefore it could be possible that my
cpu has enough power to run all the old games/demos without "dynamic core" and stuttering
animations and sound.
So please tell me, how I can make Dosbox use my real Gus.
Thx!
