VICTORY! DOSBox installed and Heroes of Might and Magic 2 running smoothly! Thanx so much! Couldn't get it work well on VirtualBox nor PCemu on Windows 98. This is so great, makes my workdays so much more enjoyable. PS. In DOSbox when I went to the correct file on C\DOSbox\Downloads\HOMM\dir the directory was blank (it had only "." and ".." files. Don't know what it means, but then I just executed the INSTALL file and the HEROES2 file, and it is time for a adventure My Lord.

Thank you for this guide its really helpful. I’ve used dosbox and set it up OK, but it requires quite a bit of reading and you need to follow it quite carefully to get the settings. right. The trouble is when you haven’t used it for a while you then forget and have to relearn it all again to recreate a set up, so its a bit time consuming in this regards. I’ve noted the comments about Dosbox X and other GUI based ‘forks’ which sound great. Thanks again.

@BytesNBits 11 ай бұрын

Thanks. I used DosBox-X in the next DOS setup video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kOCgnLOQ0rSqnmw.html. It is a nicer system to use as the settings are all done through menu screens.

- Output opengl does bilinear filtering. If you want blocky pixels use the openglnb (no bilinear) option instead - I think the option "cdrom" is now recommended for CD-image files as well (it used to be "-t iso" but changed at some point) - Putting all your mount commands in the autoexec gets old real fast if you have lots of games. I only have my C-drive mount there and create a batch script for each game that needs a CD mounted (mount -u to unmount). - DOSBox was created for games and does not emulate all aspects of real DOS. Some non gaming applications might not work due to missing emulation (such as share.exe)

@@BytesNBits Yes, the DosBox emulation works good on Android ARM CPU. The Magic DosBox free app starts in 16 bit BIG Real Mode with ems=true and together with a segment size of 4 gb for DS, ES, FS and GS segment + 21 address line on, but for CS and SS segment 64 kb limit. That allows to write into the linear framebuffer for svga-S3 emulation in C0000000 in VBE mode 800x600x32 resolution using 32 bit instructions with an address size and operand size prefix from 16 bit mode. With the official DosBox version on a PC we have to change to ems=false and switch into the 16 bit Big Real Mode first with an application to write into the linear framebuffer.

Hi What a concise tutorial WOW! Thank you very much. I have to load Generic CADD6 from the 80's, I've been using on my AST tower as a dedicated cad machine since then but after several moves the latest SW France its died. I am a 71 year old designer / builder / shopfitter now retired but need my CAD working to design a timber roof with cutting and joint details for a ancient mill house I am rebuilding. the design is plotted to my A0 plotter and I have a full size paper template of each joint....well that's the plan.

Hi Steven. Good luck in getting it all up and running. There is a second option if you have trouble getting this route working. You can install DOS directly onto modern machines using FreeDOS. I'm not sure what interface your plotter uses but this might give you better access to the PC hardware. I made a video a while back looking at DOS from a gaming viewpoint but the only downside was no sound, which I guess won't affect you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frt4qrJyxM2nYaM.html

Some games do need a bit of messing around to get them working. There were a range of hardware options for PCs over the years. Try to find the manual for the game online - you should find it quite easily. These usually tell you what spec machine they are aimed at. Try to set DosBox up close to that spec. There are some that just don't work in the emulator so if you find yourself going round in circles with little success call it a day.

I just dont want to have to travel throught the command prompt just to play a game for 10 minutes just for the sake of nostalgia. Somehow, years ago, i got a DOS emulator on apple that had a complete interface and eliminated half this process, and worked fine. Sure, im a jerk for choosing convience, but like i said i have other things to do most of the day. What exactly is the issue with just having an interface here? I have a ton of games, and i dont even remember what they all are. On a given day around midnight, i may play on 5 different emulators in the span of a couple hours before i sleep. This one, while having the best experience, is just too difficult. This "8-letter code" thing makes it difficult to decipher what games im looking at in the command prompt. Is there any working DOS emulator with an interface for windows? Sorry for the long disclaimers, but I can never ask things without needing to defend myself against the anonymous abuse that asking for help on the internet brings.

You need to brush up on your DOS command line. The general process is to cd to the folder where the game is installed, either on the hadr drive or a mounted CD etc. Then run the game startup file. You might need to have a look at the game instructions for this. Usually it's quite obvious which file to run. Do a dir command and look for a .bat or .exe file.

You lost me during the Mounting setup. I just want to play it from my c drive with no other external hard drive🤦‍♀

DosBox needs to have a folder on your c drive that it will use as it's own c drive. It will store all of it's data etc. into that folder which you will then see as a full hard drive inside DosBox. Mounting folders just the way that DosBox emulates hard drives, floppy drives, etc.

Question does this work with fallout?

@BytesNBits 8 ай бұрын

You can play Windows games in DOSBox but you first have to install Windows 98 and then install the game inside that.

I got Fallout 1 from a page on the internet archive and am playing it right this very second without having had to install Win98, so I'm guessing there's been an update that addresses this in the time since this comment was made, or it's a non-windows version of Fallout. In fact, that's the reason I'm even on this video with a question of my own, which is: how do I get the game to be full screen? DBox runs in full screen but when the game starts it's just a square box in the middle of a black screen. Would this be an aspect ratio setting issue, or something else?

How install Dos Box pkg in ps3 ?

Sorry. I don't have a PS3. If there isn't a commercial app for that I guess you'll have to run some sort of hack.

Dosbox is crap nothing to do with the real hardware the sound and horrible scrolling

@BytesNBits Ай бұрын

OK, maybe not as authentic as the real hardware but probably the best compromise for modern hardware.

Just to check, you've got your hard drive folder mounted as drive C and the USB thumb drive mounted as drive A. Have you copied all of the floppy disk files into the root folder of the USB drive? This should work, but sometimes the disks have a method of identifying themselves, maybe by volume name etc. If this is the case you might need to create a USB drive for disk one, then two , etc. If you can't split out the files and work out the volume names I'd suggest buying a USB floppy drive and using the original floppies - great that you still have them! This might actually be your easiest option. Hope this helps.
