Re: MS-DOS goes MIT

Posted on 2020-12-01, 17:42

That is pretty cool - I wonder if 'ol Bill wrote any code in those versions. If MS was anything like the place I work at currently, then 90% of it would be cut-and-pasted code from V1.0. I also wonder why 6.2 wouldn't be open sourced yet - is someone still making a buck off something that old? …

any way to enable padding?

Posted on 2017-02-24, 18:51

This is a very minor issue, but I noticed that there is no padding between the DOSBox environment and the container: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/DOSBox_screenshot.png You can see that the Z:\> prompt is completely pressed against the border with no space in between. This …

If you could play any game for the first time ever again...

This is a question from /r/AskReddit that I figured would make an especially interesting thread here. If you could experience any video game as if you were playing it for the first time ever, which one would it be? For me, it's probably Super Mario World . That game was a big part of my childhood, …

http://www.apogeesoftware.com/uncategorized/apogee-releases-blake-stone-source-code I know this is somewhat old news, but I don't think anyone has mentioned it here. One caveat, though: some users report the code is incomplete and won't compile without additional tinkering. Early data storage …

Re: Duke Nukem 3D: Kill-A-Ton Collection - strange error

Posted on 2013-09-09, 00:10

in Windows
I'm sorry if this is an old thread, but I thought I'd post an update. 1. The installer somehow stopped giving the error a few weeks ago. It went as far as copying the temporary setup files before complaining that the HDD is out of space. I've noticed that many old programs have this issue; it's …

DOSBox quits with error after completing Duke Caribbean

Posted on 2013-09-08, 22:45

in DOS
Whenever I beat the Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach boss, DOSBox quits with the following message: Exit to error: Illegal descriptor type 0 for int 8 Does anyone know what's causing this? I'm using an unofficial patch that fixes an issue with the ¥ character, but I'm not sure if it makes a difference …

Duke Nukem 3D: Kill-A-Ton Collection - strange error

Posted on 2013-07-28, 00:11

in Windows
I'm getting a strange error message ("You're screwed and we don't know why") while trying to run the installer on one of the Duke Nukem 3D: Kill-A-Ton Collection CDs. I've searched everywhere but could find only one other mention of this error. The laptop I'm using is running Windows XP with Service …

a small Redneck Rampage annoyance

Posted on 2013-05-27, 07:31

I just installed Redneck Rampage today. For the most part, the game works. However, there is one minor annoyance: when I exit the game, the screen gets stuck at the "Quit" option. It doesn't take me back to the DOS prompt unless I press another key. This gives me the impression that DOSBox has …
