Originally posted by Jiri: Dvwjr, if you want me to do some additional particular test, it is possible until the end of this week when I have to return ATI 9200 and NVIDIA 5200 cards. If you have the time, perhaps you could test and post some results for all of your video adapters in a fashion …

I saw the game Death Gate mention in a few other threads, but decided that this older one would be the best place to tack on a conclusion to the matter... I can understand the problems that people are having with the game Death Gate on WinNT or Win2K, but it works fine on WinXP Pro (SP1). Downloaded …

Well, ask and ye shall receive. The first game for DOS was "DONKEY.BAS" written in IBM ROM BASIC by Bill Gates and another coder. It was included on the IBM PC-DOS 1.1 diskette sold with the original IBM PC. Haven't you always wanted to try the first version of DOS? Maybe not, but I became …

Actually 'eL_PuSHeR', the developer/member "Qbix" has the emulation code for the command processor which is quite correct for Dosbox . You have it wrong... Once the check for intrinsic commands is made by Command.com , the default external file type execution priority for MS/PC-DOS version 2.0+ to …

Re: Graphics Driver??

What you are asking is not possible and demonstrates that you do not understand enough about your system to be asking such a question, no matter how harsh that sounds. To give a similiar analogy to your request to mix a Win 3.1 SVGA driver with your Win2K video driver when you feel the need, that …

Also add the "FILES=..." line in C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT; though VDMSound sets it for the game's CONFIG file, rumor has it that Windows always fetches "FILES=..." from C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT. Cheers, V. No, I think that VDMSound/LaunchPad generated configuration files *.NT the "FILES=" …

I don't think anyone's written such a thing - if it is indeed possible. I certainly have never heard of it. It could indeed be useful. [/B] You might wish to check out this product. I used an older version of TAME on a project nine years ago with DesqView. The product is now exclusively Win NTVDM …
