Re: EMS memory problems in WinXP

Posted on 2006-02-17, 20:10

in DOS
Have you changed anything in your CMOS settings? Features that enable some extra BIOS areas, such as "USB legacy support" or SATA disk support are usually the ones that cause trouble with EMS.

Re: [SOLVED] How to remove services from service list

Posted on 2005-12-20, 18:12

Windows XP has a command line utility called sc that let's you query information about the installed services and modify it. If you don't know the actual name of the service, list all of them with Copy code to clipboard 1 sc query If you want to delete a service, you can use Copy code to clipboard …

Re: The Fastest Processor for DOSBox

Posted on 2005-06-16, 18:11

I'd like to see someone with the biggest L2 cache compared to a smaller L2 cache compare DosBox performance. This may sound obvious, but is there a simple "benchmark" we could use to compare two CPUs running the same program under DOSBox? I've tried to compare my older computer with the new one …

Re: Dosbox 64 bit mode some day?

Posted on 2005-04-13, 13:06

I am only using 32 bit versions of DOSBox (.63 and various CVS builds). Generally, XP x64 seems faster and more stable than 32 bit XP. I agree with you. Running the stock 32bit DOSBox under XP x64 I usually see a smaller load on the CPU. I did some tests yesterday running The 7th Guest with some …

Re: MS-DOS version compatibility

Posted on 2005-01-24, 22:03

All MS DOS utilities check the precise DOS version for no reason (so they work only in their own DOS version). Well, there is a reason. Some MS-DOS utilities depend on undocumented calls that could change from version to version or were not available in previous versions, so MS had a policy of …

Re: Win98 Emu for Win2000?

Posted on 2004-11-08, 14:20

You could also try right-click on the main executable and run it using some compatibility mode. I think both Windows 2000 and XP have that feature. :cool: Windows XP has some compatibility modes built-in and you can select them by right-clicking the executable file. Windows 2000 requires something …

Re: DOS Path

Posted on 2004-10-20, 14:36

it's "set path=" not "path=". I believe there is some confusion because real DOS has a PATH command that shows or sets the path, so you can use "set path=c:\something" or simply "path c:\something" (without the equal sign). DOSBox does not have the PATH command, so use the first form, with the SET …

Re: Problem with "Since Last Visit" function

Posted on 2004-09-20, 15:34

When I click the second or third page, I get a message saying something like "No topics or posts match your search criteria" Yeah, I get this problem everytime and I've also found a workaround. When you get the error message, go back to the previous page (the first one in the search) and click on …

Re: Blue Screen of Death

Posted on 2004-08-12, 15:19

The error number that came up with the blue screen of death were 0x000000C2 (0x00000CD4 0x20676E69 0x8060F986) It looks like there is a problem in some device driver. According to the Microsoft KB, 0xC2 errors are caused by faulty memory management inside a device driver. Take a look at those …

Re: W2000 and SVGA (dos games)

Posted on 2004-07-27, 18:42

Have anybody an idea how to get 640x480 or higher in the dos emulation from win2000? Your luck depends on your current video card. The standard VGA driver provided my Microsoft handles all full screen modes for DOS programs. Depending on your video card, the driver allows DOS programs to switch …

Re: Historic hardware

Posted on 2004-07-25, 19:02

I was thinking there was a VESA slot on DOS machines in addition to ISA slot much like modern AGP/PCI duality. I probably am confused. No, you are right. Several 486 motherboards had the usual ISA slots and two or three VESA local bus (VL-Bus) slots. Remeber: VL-Bus slots were actually ISA slots …

Re: Historic hardware

Posted on 2004-07-24, 20:19

First, a question. Do 8 bit ISA cards work in 16 bit ISA slots? Yes, they do. The 16 bit ISA slot has two connectors: the first one is the original 8 bit connector and the second one provides the upper data lines and extra control lines. An 8 bit ISA card installed in a 16 bit slot would simply use …

Re: does VDMSound support the window-mode?

Posted on 2004-07-23, 16:40

does VDMSound support the window-mode? :sly: VDMSound does not provide any extra video support than the original features from Windows 2000/XP itself. This means that you have to switch to full screeen when you need any graphic mode, because only text mode is supported in a window. You could try …

Re: Wing Commander 3

Posted on 2004-06-27, 01:31

Unless you really need to run DosBox under Linux, I suggest you try running WC3 under Windows XP with VDMSound. I was able to finish the game using Windows XP, VMDSound 2.1 and the alternate joystick drivers you can find here in the Wing Commander CIC site. Regards,
