Some of those wallpapers were HARD and I …

Re: Settlers II with 512KB VRAM

in DOS
Hello, is Settlers II runable with 512KB VRAM VGA card? (Probably ISA, not sure, if PCI cards wasn't 1MB minumum) Basically, question is, if with any 512KB VGA card, with support for Supervga (640x480 x 8 bit (256 colors)), can run the game, or it needs to have VESA support (probably only later …

IBMs were built with quality to last. They are very robust They were - and they're my favorite PC brand for a reason. I just upgraded the CPU to a Pentium 166 & added a bar of cache and once I get the 2MB S3 card it will be "done". I managed to get the CD slow down program to work in DOS and now …

Update: I have fully cleaned the PC and decided to stick to MS DOS completely. The on-board SIS graphics chip is pretty horrible so I replaced it with the most logical & era-correct S3 Trio 64V+. Only 1MB for now but a card with 2MB is on its way so I can have 800x600 at 16 million colours in …

You can always use Drive Dynamic Drive Overlay software. I use it on my 486 and was surprised how well it worked https://youtu.be/8LzCB6kDVC8?si=wMxochBDeI0fFZDR The last time I tried that, I burned like a dozen CDs and in the end nothing was compatible with the IBM BIOS. I'm willing to try again …

I have had this very PC for a good 15 years - bought it for next to nothing and pretty much let it collect dust because it didn't support MMX (I went with a IBM PC 330 instead which DID support 233MMX). However, I picked up an IBM 2.1 set of speakers that was meant for this PC and now I feel …

Sorry to hear that. Please try starting DBGL with dbglcons.cmd in order to keep the debugging screen open, and report back with the stacktrace that you get when the application freezes. EDIT: Please also make sure that you have updated the .jar files in your DBGL/lib folder, as well as dbgl.jar. I …

- when you use relative paths, it breaks them... Thanks for your explanation, Red. The issue with your use-case is that you expect ANY file located on the drive on which DBGL was started, to be accessed 'relative'. Even if that means the file has to be reached by going 'upwards' (..\..\) in the …

- a search function. I know I'm one of the few to have such big libraries but once you have several hundred games it can be tedious to find a game. Aladdin for example is ranked under D from Disney's Aladdin and so quite a few games are not at the same letter as you'd expect. Eh, did you know about …
