Re: Settlers II Gold mouse problem

When I played Settlers II last time, I had that bug, too. I dont remember the version of DosBox I used back then. The bug was exactly as in your description. It also occured after some hours of gameplay. For this reason I really dont want to reproduce it, sorry.

Thank for all your interesting replies. the NPCs are kind of bland to me, with very predictable stereotypical personalities. It is the interaction of the characters which makes them good, not their personalities. They talk to each other some will argue, some agree. Each single character might be …

I totally disagree with you. DA is much better than KOTOR and NWN. KOTOR was "dumbed down" to sell on the consoles. DA can be quite challenging if you play it on "hard" and then there is also "insane". The best part of the game are your party members. They have personality. You can talk to them and …

Pinball Fantasies and Pinball Illusion have great MOD soundtracks by Gustav Olofson. Other than that, I know of Dreamweb which has a moody, ambient soundtrack and great design. But all these games were ported from Amiga.

I had the same problem one or two years ago. But I cannot remember how or even if I fixed it. What DosBox version do you use?

I don't think there is any possibility to change the resolution of Albion. As there were no graphics or sound APIs in DOS, game designers had to use either their own code or libraries such as Miles Soundsystem or Midas to access hardware. So most likely this file you are talking about is an artifact …

Thanks for that information. Anyway it appeared to me that this little board left to the CPU can't be cache. The cache of a PPro is located on a separate die but included into the packaging. So does anybody know the purpose of this small board between CPU and PCI cards?

Cache is located of-die. The small board left from CPU should be something up to 1meg of SRAM. Maybe the amount is displayed at the POST screen.

Stay away from Virtual Box if you want to run full or partial 16bit software. I tried Win98 and it was extremly slow. I think the reason is that Win98 switches back to realmode very often. This seems to be slow as hell. There is an article about the internals of 95/98/Me on "the old new thing" and …

Hal, that's great! You are the true master of gfx cards. I'd be interested in this hacked build of DosBox, but I don't have much time anyway. So I could also wait until this patch will be included in some "Megabuild" or in the CVS. But thanks alot.

Great work, hal. I just thought getting the timing right in Panic was plain impossible, but proved it isnt. (Except for the shadebobs) Have you ever tried Trangression 2? Pouet link: http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=672

The high color mode of Trangression 2 by MFX does not work and I doubt it will work in future. Of course some demos which require MMX wont work, too. There are also timing problems with Panic by the Future Crew, which may be fixable by setting the cycles right, allthough I did not get it to work …

As I remember, CF is much smaller than a 40 wire ata cable. The adaptor you linked to is not sufficient. You will need an adaptor which also compensates for the difference in width.

Just imagine all the people asking about the difference between DOSBox and DoZBox at this Board. Then remember posts like "You'd better use 0.65". After these two scary thoughts you will not want to change the name any longer.
