I recently played an amazing DOS game where you have your country and you can declare war or peace with other ones, and i really enjoyed it. Growing up one of my favorite DOS games was Gobliiins 3, such cool memories!
I've got a Gateway GP6-400 P2 tower running Windows 98. Unfortunately the mobo has an on-board joystick port that I can't seem to find a way to disable, but I want to run my Sound Blaster AWE32 card in this machine. I'm okay with disabling the AWE32 joyport and using the on-board, but I can't figure out how to disable the joyport on this PnP-configured card. I boot dos 6.2, use CTCU to disable it, but then how can I get that configuration to stick in the win98 install?
'CTCU' notoriously doesn't run under DOS 7/Win98 DOS. Can I do it with 'UNISOUND' maybe?
Anybody good with configuring SB PnP sound cards in Win 98? Boots appreciated.
30 odd years ago I wrote a program for my work that gives machine data for making cardboard boxes and many different styles. Got it running in DOSBox and I can't believe how crispy #DOS was. Pure functionality with zero clutter.
Transferring some floppies and data to my #DOS#PC. By the way, if you can recommend a trusty PDF viewer (that can also print) under DOS, if there is such a thing, feel free to let me know. I wanted to use Mupdf, but seemingly got a virus infected file which I won't use 😅 #retrocomputing#floppydisk
Good morning! I'm trying to do a little research into sound options available on IBM-compatibles prior to the launch of sound blaster! I know there's a few #dos heads and #retrocomputing peeps around here
I want to build a rough asset editor for sound in my game, something along the lines of sfxr for sounds and a basic sequencer for #gamemusic
I'm interested in figuring out what spec of limitations I should follow to capture the widest use case of that time. Was it all just the PIT?
Interesting... I'd assumed that #FreePascal's 16-bit #DOS cross-compiler was just ignoring the memory model I was setting. Turns out it wasn't, and I hadn't been reading the error messages properly. They're all failing for different reasons!
Surely I must be doing something wrong?
I'm struggling to find any information on issues like this, largely because hardly anyone uses it.
I might end up switching to the 32-bit DOS compiler, just to get something working.
MS-DOS game programmers had do deal with several limitations, In this article, we'll go over some of these obstacles and learn how we used the DOS/4GW extender & protected mode to unleash the power of 32-bit DOS.
Ma nièce de onze ans me demande comment devenir hackeuse.
Je ne sais pas quoi lui répondre.
Vous auriez des idées de trucs à faire dans ce sens, qui soient motivants et gratifiants pour elle ? 🤔
Moi je sais que j'ai pris goût à l'admin sys parce-que mon père m'avait poussé à utiliser les tutoriels de #Works sour #DOS, à peu près au même âge, mais bon…
I don't want to disappoint the 3 Body Problem series fans, but in episode 4 where an old IBM PC shows alien messages, the screen resolution is wrong and outside of the capabilities of the CGA and Hercules video cards available in 1984. #DOS#IBMPC
