Thank you. I tried your advice with doom shareware version 0.99 because it was still not working with doom 1 version 1.9 and freedoom. I'm trying to boot up the wads from the alpha versions onto doom release version just to see how well it would work and I got a weird text message for the first …

Re: Pinball Illusions - Playing both kinds of music at once?

I'm bumping this thread because I think I know the cause of the problem, but not the solution. Pinball Illusions evidently leaves the CD track running in the background when the game starts, but sets the CD playback volume to zero so the MOD music can start playing instead. DOSBox evidently doesn't …

I've got some 5.25" floppy disks here that I need to archive (DynaWare Ballade, unsure of which version), but none of my computers are currently equipped with a 5.25" floppy drive. My main computer has all of its 5.25" bays filled (it doesn't have that many), so I'm wondering if anybody's tried …

Reset your configuration as robertmo says, then in the new configuration file, set your "scaler" to "normal2x forced". That'll pixel-double everything.

My Logitech G5 laser mouse allows the scroll wheel to be pushed left and right - in many cases it just emulates the left and right arrow keys, but only if the Logitech SetPoint software is installed and resident.

I found the DOS CD-ROM version of Wing Commander IV at my local Salvation Army store for cheap and decided to pick it up. It seems to install alright, and the video test worked well, and FMV seems to display smoothly as well. The only problem, though, is that the sound occasionally skips. I …

Zone 66. Amazingly enough, the problems I always had running this game on an old Pentium 120 weren't from my forgetting to disable EMS/XMS - it was the fact that my sound drivers just took too much conventional memory. And, well, without sound, the game wasn't really that enjoyable. =P

Pinball Dreams 2 isn't a protected-mode game, meaning DOSBox will likely leave it at 3000 cycles (or whatever is default) while playing the game. Using Ctrl+F12 or the "cycles" command at the prompt to increase it will likely help game speed considerably. My experience is actually from the Pinball …

While this technically isn't anything new (Kega Fusion, BSNES, and Nestopia have had similar effects for a while), it's nice to have an Atari emulator adopting effects like these. It really goes a long way toward making the games feel right.

You could try; I'm not sure if activation keys are exchangeable between 32 and 64 bit versions of Vista...just don't try using your mom's activation key, unless you want a DRM headache.
