Again, thanks everyone. It's working now; I got Doomsday. leileilol: I guess you read fast or something, prboom was what I tried in the first place, but again, it's working now and I've deleted prboom. However, I now have a different problem: when I play Ultimate Doom in fullscreen, well basically …

I know, I was talking about the battery-backed (virtual) save file; FCE Ultra and clones of Nester use .sav. I saw a file somewhere that was what I wanted but I don't remember the Google or the depth that got me there. I'm just going to re-play it and diligently back up and eventually make my own …

I just got "Doom Collectors' Edition" in the mail yesterday (the Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Final Doom by Team TNT). What's happening is especially aggravating given what just happened with Zelda ( http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=16705 ). Long story short, it installed fine but when I try to run …

Holy Monty Python! I never thought I'd see such an enormous bug from Microsoft! Actually, this gives me more faith in humanity because it means that the coders at MS are not androids and if MS made this kind of mistake I don't think we're ever going to meet Data, the T-1000, or the Oracle (as in no …

I've taken another look at zetafleet.com and I've read that other thread and I have 3 things to say: 1. I don't think it's a portal; what's it supposed to be a portal to ? the other sites? oh well 2. I would like to thank Mr. Snover on behalf of everyone for this forum, and 3. in keeping with …

I just thought maybe I should let the people in charge of the forum know that the zetafleet link says "zetafleet.dom". The link takes you there, but it looks bad. This might seem like nitpicking, but it's on the bottom of every page, so, meh.

I didn't get a good computer until 6 or 7 years ago and the first one came with old arcade games on it, and we all know the only way to beat those is to play them until they break. I didn't get onto the Internet until 2 or 3 years after my first computer stopped working, and it was on the computer …

I think it's something with the switching of emulators. I changed again to nnNesterj and now my save file (for StarTropics II) is gone or has been reset somehow (a function I don't think is built into any emulator). I "restored" (from the Recycle Bin) old copies of the save files for ST and ST II …

wd: I tried running my Win95 Debug in DOSBox and it gave me a DOS mode error (the same one I got for MODE as per my other thread). But if DOSBox: Debug Edition or whatever it's called can assemble, I'll take it (I wasn't expecting to write an IDE in assembly or anything, just get the hang of it, …

I knew about the debugger version of DOSBox but it sounded like it might be more trouble than it was worth. Can it assemble (or do you have a recommended assembler that will work fine under DOSBox)? Can you recommend a good list of DOS interrupts (I've looked with Google and checked out an old book …
