What you're suggesting is reimplementing the win9x kernel. I'm not saying it can't be done (although it's pretty much in that category), it's just that nobody will do it just because it's the "most requested thing" or because mounting image files is supposedly hard.

VHD images can be mounted in Windows 7 & up without any additional software. I've written a patch to add support for VHD in DOSBox. There's also a patch in DOSBox-X to support qcow2 images... Image handling can therefore be improved a lot. There's literally no way Win9x could run off host mounted …

I still have a 30 GB Deskstar in my retro. A power pin was broken that I had to repair, but otherwise it's still working great 🤣

Are you kidding. There's nothing that could replace the VCR...my mom knew how to put in the tape and press record. Nowadays, she doesn't know how to turn on the tv ("switch to hdmi input, find the settopbox remote, turn on the stb, etc..."). Sure you can Netflix, torrent, ... whatever you like but …

Doublescan probably just resizes the image. CRT shader then has more pixels to work with and produces a nicer image. You could probably get the same effect with setting a scaler (normal2x or hardware2x) or larger window/fullresolution.

I never had more than minor problems with this card. The most annoying one was that it crackled in Skype calls, so I just switched the mic and headphones to the onboard sound. The other one is that it looses 5.1 speaker config from time to time and reverts to stereo, so I have to remember to put it …

I fixed it, 10x :) The Korg application made me go hunting in the registry for these entries. I've noticed there was an entry in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}] (this is where wdmaud.drv entries are registered apparently, the midi …

Yup, no matter what I select all the options are greyed out now. It doesn't even show BASSMIDI...strange.

Great idea, but no luck unfortunately. It displayed some corrupted entries, which I was able to delete: Korg.png Reinstalled the drivers, now I can't do anything anymore. I don't think it's the limit...I was able to install BASSMidi and it shows in the list of midi devices. Korg2.png Maybe I should …

The _name@xx notation means stdcall calling convention. This means the prototype of the function needs to have stdcall so the compiler will generate correct code.

Can you change that host_reset() sets the device BUSY and return ready when SRST is cleared? Also, the device should be returned to default state, bochs bios will check if CHS is reset afterwards... @TheGreatCodeholio: host_reset still returns status 0xff on host_reset_begin and 0x00 on host_reset_ …

dynamic-x86 is significantly faster than dynrec...as 32-bit apps will be supported in Windows for the foreseeable future there's really little reason to use it aside from knowing it's 64-bit :) It was never really tested in win64 and while there is some code to support it, the calling conventions …
