DOS Gaming in 2023 : Trying out SBEMU and a few games
Рет қаралды 1,524
Жыл бұрынThis is an update to my 2015 video when things were quite dire.... But thanks to SBEMU among other things, we can finally play DOS games the way they were meant to be.
You may ask : Why not use Dosbox anyway ? Well the thing is, later DOS SVGA games at higher resolutions are particularly CPU intensive... whereas here they run fine (mostly).
But now that the sound situation is sorted out, i still have to deal with other unrelated issues : BIOS bugs according Legacy USB and other memory related issues as well... I do have a more appropriate PC though, so i may try that one instead. But if you just need to use a small thin PC, this is a perfect solution in my opinion ! I would dare to say even better than those old HP with built in soundblaster compatibility (although they are still very good).
AHCICD (needed to make DVD drives work on a modern PC, make sure to either replace it over UDVD2.SYS or change the batch file):

What kind of display would you recommend for DOS gaming, crt screen would be of course the best, but are there any alternatives?
@gameblabla Жыл бұрын
A 4:3 LCD like here could be decent too, they're cheap. The other alternative is to use an OSSC and modern QLED or OLED display and set the scaling to 4:3.

@@terrylyn it's a 17' inch Dell 4:3 monitor. They're pretty common here (and i would assume you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one in a used store in the US)

The original DOS version doesn't. I had to use my own compiled win32 version and run it with HX DOS extender to get it to work.
