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.
The DOS Games Jam starts on June 1st. It's a casual jam where people can make DOS games or games influenced by their favorite DOS games. The jam page also has a link to the Discord where people hang out to talk about DOS games and how to develop games for DOS. Game devs of all skill levels are welcome
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…
What is your favorite ever DOS game?
