Re: DOSBOX for Windows 3.1

Posted on 2018-11-03, 20:49

okay, I sign off. ;) I am not so much advanced . *what if* happens something interesting which is declared as impossible and unfeasible by many many many experienced ones already? Just like back on 1996 people said its impossible to read CD-Rs without Win95 and unreal about video playing under the …

THen I should be laughing about those who cant even play a note to save his own life or solder a cable without fire hazard. But I dont. However it remains always a "mystery" why there is really needed a several GHz speed CPUs with almost latest Windows versions, JUST in order to just run the …

I want to take a word about this "laughing matter"... however that win95dosbox is just a stranger to me. It may be perhaps a practical joke if the wish is to set a DOS game from USB drive, and it only takes CTRL-ALT-DELETE to make system look normal again? @dr_st @Dominus BUT DO YOU take your words …

Well to really resurrect ISA you'd need to a billionaire and buy out some top motherboard manufacturers and update say an intel 800 series chipset that supported ISA and find a way that it could communicate to work alongside a PCIe slot motherboard. If they could still make PCI slots motherboards I …

just a quick note, while answering later for the rest... Well I still got a hoard of mint condition XT motherboards ......and I'm sure at one point in time it was considered junk but I find it better to preserve these when possible. You're in right place with this talk I think. Some people here are …

95DosBox, take time to read. ;) Linux probably would require more work to setup for the average user compared to what I'm doing. Unless you've done this type of setup before and can create the most compact USB bootable Linux / DOSBox with complete support for all Intel HD Graphics models with full …

Come on guys! Linux probably would require more work to setup for the *average* user compared to what I'm doing . Unless you've done this type of setup before and can create the most compact USB bootable Linux / DOSBox with complete support for all Intel HD Graphics models with full Intel USB 3.0 …

Thanks for taking the time construct a more in depth non knee jerk response especially in a non native language. Thank You. (And I thought to be invisible for others, due to my "cryptic" language use.) So, here the conclusion -- it was not at all cryptic once people just take time to read. It is …

Perhaps he means that -- the programs under the DOS window which can use the soundcards supported in a windows environment? The programs under win3.x DOS window cant use soundcard and (that window was left buggy even for win98se). @95DOSBOX !! Once upon a time I asked the developers to add the …

Re: Last cards to only support Win98?

ATI MACH64VT. :) 1MB and 2MB versions. up to win95 during that time when it came out. Later OS versions had support, BUT not all benefits were used with them. In fact its drivers for win3.x were best, while for further platforms it was a cropped down version. Its software with hotkeys worked better …

alright... I joined too. How many of us are now together there with this patch? :) I think it is pretty private place there as a corner of our own. Any IRC channel somewhere ... do we have too? come on lets socialize this way then. So far the ones who talk about retro computing are all here (whom I …

Re: Adding Text to Config.sys for Menus

Config.sys: I know its long and there is probably a better way to make it shortened but this is what I know for now, as you can see I have options to use EMS and to not use EMS and to just have conventional and before the dos games launcher option is used I put a pause command so you can see if …
