I remember a resident program called ANSI.COM that replaces ANSI.SYS. Maybe you could find it somewhere in the net.
Re: VESA on XP. A possible solution?
Posted on 2004-12-23, 19:54
I'm afraid not. I guessed it was some discussion about the patch for some Windows XP sys file... and I don't want to patch my system 😊 Ahhh... it seems it was not BIOS related... only crappy Microsoft Windows stuff... and it seems it is not fixed in SP2...
Re: VESA on XP. A possible solution?

Ok, but what about trying it in plain DOS (any DOS boot disk may do the work). If it fails under DOS 6.22, it is a bug in the BIOS. If it only crashes in XP... DirectX? Drivers?

OK, I reviewed the source code and here's the story... A long time ago, I studied 80x86 assembler and C. As a project I wrote a VESA asm library (supporting 256 color modes and writen in Turbo Assembler with Turbo C interfaces) and I made Gravedad.c as a demonstration. The ball is stolen from The …

Strange... i'll check the source, but I remembered that it puts VESA video mode using BIOS... the refresh rate is the default BIOS refresh rate. It works in my Geforce 2 MX400, and I tested it on a FX5200 (both XP SP2)... in FX5200 it throws the monitor out of sync, though... strange...

VESA 3.0 is (or at least should be ) VESA 2.0 compatible. Did you try your program in plain DOS (i.e.: start your computer with a Windows 95 or 98 boot disk, then start your program)? Maybe SVGAKIT relies on selecting banks writing data on some ports (videocard autodetection?)... and the Geforce …
Re: Favorite ISA Sound Cards
Posted on 2004-12-14, 22:17
AWE cards aren't ideal for DOS MIDI since they have to use big, buggy TSRs to get MIDI support. And, unless you can run the DOS game within Win9x, you can't use soundfonts which limits you to the trash 512K midi waveset on the board. I had a Soundblaster AWE64 Gold and it didn't need a TSR to get …

Windows XP, maybe? - You have some compatibility settings. Left-click on the .exe of the game and choose Properties. - You have the Application Compatibility Toolkit. Download version 2.6 and try changing some settings. - You have NTCompatible.com. Search the database.

Re: vdmsound vs. midi for Ultima Underworld
Posted on 2004-12-08, 15:09
MIDI means "Musical Instrument Digital Interface". It's a definition about how musical instruments talks with another instruments and computers. VDMSound takes the MIDI notes from the game and it passes through the MIDI synthetizer of your card. You have a Sound Blaster Pro? You get crap. You have …
Re: DOSBox in the real world press
Posted on 2004-12-07, 13:15
Yup, I was wrong. It was not DosBox, but... In issue #37 (April 2004), Computer Hoy Juegos bundled "Leisure Suit Larry Collection". They put DOSBox 0.61 with the games, and they wrote an article about how to make the thing work. Sadly, I'm not sure where I have the magazine... In issue #39 (June …
Re: DOSBox in the real world press

Well, a spanish magazine (Computer Hoy Juegos) started to bundle (is that the word?) with some old games. The first was Tomb Raider, and they recorded Tomb Raider and DosBox in the CD. Also, they wrote an article to show how to get the thing working... i think it was 0.60... maybe I could scan and …

Re: I can use only 2 buttons
Posted on 2004-11-20, 13:24
Original PC Joystick connection allowed two joysticks with two axis and two buttons. 4 joystick buttons "steals" two buttons from joystick 2, so 4 axis joysticks do. There are some joysticks that allow more than two buttons on a DB15 connection, but they use their own drivers. I don't know if DOSBox …

Sorry, I'm spanish and I didn't understand your post too well. In fact, I have some doubts about what are you trying to do. - Are you trying to boot a HD image or are you trying to boot a CD-ROM with DosBox? If you're trying the first, DosBox emulates DOS, no need to boot any HD image... you can …

You can download a native Windows version of GTA1 from the web site of rockstar (about 300 Mb). Sadly, you can't run London 1969 with this version.
