Not many of us did. IBM was very pricey.

For some people its not just about nostalgia, I just prefer software and games from the golden age of computing which for me is the late 70's, 80's and mid to late 90's.

Grew up poor too. I play at friends’ house.

I was lucky enough to ever play some of these games in my friend's computer at that time. So I have the nostalgia despite didn't own any of them. 😊

Well now you CAN

Great package indeed.

No probs at all. This is the latest guide for launchbox in general: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtOXZ6ir39-7c30.html

Jazz was an awesome game. It could have had a console port easily but never did.

@@JustJamie1983 Yeah, I never understood that about Jazz either. After I started to get into gaming I bought a used PS1 at a pawn shop. I regret ever selling it. It was fun for games like Spyro the Dragon, but where it really would shine were the turn based fantasy games. I didn't even care that it didn't have great graphics. It was the game play that pulled you in.

@gregghernandez2714 absolutely. Was a beast for RPGs.

Hey there Thanks for your input. I just didn't want anyone messing up anything so was just being cautious.

I updated Launchbox and really didn't like the new preview sidebar layout. I actually uninstalled eXoDOS and re-installed again just to get the older version back. eXoWin uses an older version still which is (in my view) even better. And I think eXoDreamm uses the same Launchbox version as eXoDos.

It was true until 1988/1989.

Yup. I agree for sure. Robocop for example.

Commadore and Atari could not touch DOS gaming in the 1990s.

the issue you're having is not with this collection, the issue you're having is with the fact that these games were poorly ported for ms-dos systems back in the day. honestly, if it's the games from the game consoles you're nostalgic for, you probably should get an emulator for the gaming console of your choice

Exactly.

Hey there. Just check how to use torrents and you will be fine.

Excellent pdf guide on the website.

@BobsPartyTimeLounge yup for sure.

Hey. Thanks for letting us know.

They are already all preconfigured by eXo and his team. They are just ready to go.

Pretty much for hard-core dos fans.

@@JustJamie1983 Yep/

They did do that- there's a version called eXoDOS Lite that does just that! 👍

@@DuecePiece Oh perfect!

@MrChipathenIsMyDoggo 😀

same question

I did say in the video how long it took>?

Yup. Agreed. But well worth it if you can handle the space.

agreed on that argument, i'm interested in seeing what DOS had to offer, and it llooks like quite a lot.@@JustJamie1983

To be safe. Put it onto another drive.

There is a guide on youtube to integrate them both. I did it the other weekend without issue. The only thing was it changed the default categorisation when opening Launchbox but I just changed the display back to Sort by Platform and it was all good.

@@antman2807 Oh cool! thanks for letting me know 👍

Originally it said 4 days to download the full monte and 12 hrs for the media pack. I ended up getting in downloaded in about 15 hrs. I am currently seeding while im home. Just be patient, if you download it, it will come.

I downloaded the full install a couple nights ago and the media pack last night (though to be fair I need to check to see if that downloaded without issue as I set a shutdown timer on my PC and went to bed.)

@dgevert , I'm not sure why I'm having issues then. I've been trying to download the Lite version for the past several days, and I'm at 70%

@@KILRtv Hope you figure it out. My download of the media pack did complete perfectly fine as well.

@dgevert , well, it's getting close to done with the Lite package.

Sure is 😀

I have no idea to be honest. I don't really use Retrobat much. Launchbox is my goto. Retrobat is a great free system and I upload videos as their is a big need for them.

@@JustJamie1983 I hear that more and more (LB as the goto) lol - yeah, Retrobat is my current goto, but collections like this make me question! :) I'll have to lookup somoe of your LB videos too - to try to sway me

This might help 😀 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o72TeNth1qrTpXk.html

Worked just fine for me without configuring.

@@JustJamie1983awesome thanks. i think ill download this and set it up straight on an external SSD drive :)

Hey, you will have to check on the website, you will have tools for Mac OS which you can likely use Windows programs with.

Thanks for your fast reply! i'm trying to find some information. I know you can install Parallels or similar programs but i would like to konw if you can run ExoDos on silicon chipset and not x86. I have to confirm a Macbook purchasing (this is not the only reason obviously) so i would like to know that because now days i play only with retrogames and it will be fantastic if i can run old games on Mac@@JustJamie1983

@helmgreycastle hmm. Mac has its equivalent of frontends like Windows does.

Thanks for your reply, i'll check then! @@JustJamie1983

Please try it again.

yes

I cannot see why not.

It's an error I haven't personally encountered.

Many think that too haha

My problem is I have the space for either the download OR the extracted files, not both :p

A 1TB will be fine.

@@JustJamie1983 Awesome, thanks for the reply!

@illk1978 no worries

They have a homepage that's mentioned in the video at 1:07 and listed under sources in the description box.

In description

Take a look into how to use torrents.

You could attempt to take all the games out of the exo folder and pop them into your Launchbox folder.

@@JustJamie1983 problem I'd they all use dosbox config files for each game.

@storm_shadows OK. They look like .zips to me.

On exodos offical youtube channel he says you can add to your exsisting build as it gives you the option on the install. But if you already have exodos 5 you need to delete all of that version becouse of alot of changes.

it gives instructions on the exodos manual on how to import to your own, current launchbox. It's really super simple

Nope.

Nope, you don't know or nope, it won't work? :p

Fairly big agreed, but worth it for DOS fans.

Btw, can you do the other Exodos versions as well (Exodos Lite, Exodos Win3x)?

@@mrs7195 they are out there in the wilderness.

Haha. It's worth it to many lol

@@JustJamie1983 yeah, and i just realized i have 1.77tb free on my backup drive.. hmmmmmm... :)

You could try it with Lutris.

I wish I had a spare SSD drive to get them to work (hopefully) whether it be RetroArch or Lutris on my Linux system (Manjaro)

@@DoctorVell no need for it to be an ssd, just a hdd will do just fine, and they are dirt cheap

Yes. Windows became a thing after the DOS era.

@@JustJamie1983 Difference is that DOS wasn't spyware.

@callisoncaffrey ah right.

@@JustJamie1983 You seem unaware that Windows constantly sends out what you are doing to not just Microsoft but also third party data collection companies. You might say you have nothing to hide, but that's what the Chinese thought too, and now they have a social credit system and can't even use public transport if they engage in wrong think. Then you could say that would never happen in the west, but here I have to remind you of the Truckers in Canada who had their bank accounts frozen for protesting the wrong thing, or the guy who had his smart house disabled, because the Amazon delivery guy thought he heard him say a bad word. So when the same system is fully implemented you now don't have the excuse of "I didn't know". All you have left is "I was addicted" and of course my all time favorite "I was just following orders". You do you of course. I for one will not support anyone promoting spyware.

It depends really. Some play older games for nostaglia where others prefer them for originality and depth.

@@JustJamie1983 I used to play them when i was 10 yo... But today i prefer fallout 3 or genshin impact and stuff like that...more beautiful in 3d and still work on a slow pc.
