Is this all it's supposed to say in the file? Because I expected more. [dosbox] [sblaster] # to make game faster # uncomment the following line to turn off sound #sbtype=none [cpu] # Try core=dynamic to improvement performance # however, it doesn't always work. # so we are using simple core by default core=simple [midi] [speaker] # Uncomment the line turn off speaker #pcspeaker=false [render] # we are using faster scaler outside dosbox scaler=none
Real life application Don't get me wrong, hearing UFO's music (albeit stuttering) filled me with joy. What I'm saying is this app pretty much sums up to a waste of time. The time you'll need to spend on one single game to make it *bearable* will probably be 10 times the time you'll actually try to play the game before forfeiting. But the microconfiguration needed to make one game work is not what's worse. The app saves its state, which would be good if it did not save crashed state too. I've had to reinstall the app about 4 times now due to various crashes from which I could not recover. I tried good old Ctrl-Alt-Del, to no avail. This app needs a reset button. If somebody found one way to soft reset the DOS environment with a keyboard command, I'd be happy to hear it. I really want this to work, and being somewhat of a die-hard, I'll probably reinstall the app a few more times again, hoping to find 1 single app that could prove me wrong, but I'm not getting my hopes too high.
PLEASE HELP on how to do this. I'm trying to install windows 3.1. Trying to tun executable to install and it says... cannot be run in DOS mode
Currently installing Netscape Navigator 4.07 for Windows 3.1. This will be interesting. Can I get online with this badboy! It's taking forever, but at least I can play minesweeper while I wait.
Yep. That's the default. This is the file I've been using -- Code: [dosbox] [sblaster] #sbtype=none [render] frameskip=0 [cpu] core=normal cycles=1700 cycleup=500 cycledown=20 [mixer] #rate=22050 #blocksize=8192 prebuffer=100 [midi] mpu401=none mididevice=none [speaker] #pcspeaker=false [render] scaler=none [autoexec] SET PATH=C:\DN;C:\BASIC;C:\GAMES Wolfenstein 3D runs very well on my iPod with these settings. The last autoexec part is optional. I only added that so I could access Dos Navigator, gwbasic, and the games folder from anywhere.
Couple of things: 1. Grab yourself an MS-DOS compatible unzip program at ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/msdos/. It's the InfoZip version, which I guarantee won't suck. 2. For those of you who miss EDIT.EXE, here's how you can get it: - Download QBasic from Microsoft - Upload the "olddos.exe" to your iPad and execute in the directory c:\DOS - Type the following command: Code: c:\DOS\QBASIC.EXE /edit c:\DOS\EDIT.BAT Enter the following text in the editor: Code: @ECHO OFF c:\DOS\QBASIC.EXE /edit %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 - Save the file - Now you have a working c:\DOS\EDIT.BAT! 3. To make it so you can use your new DOS commands from anywhere, edit your DOSPAD.CFG with the following command: Code: \DOS\EDIT.BAT \DOSPAD.CFG - Add the following to the end of the file: Code: [autoexec] set PATH=c:\DOS - Now restart and enjoy! 4. To those of you who complain about fiddling with the DOSPAD.CFG file, you clearly don't remember the days of DOS. Fiddling with the startup files was an art. I used to keep a boot floppy in the box of every DOS game I owned. I couldn't even reuse them because every game required something slightly different! I understand that you expect better out of an emulator, but hey. It was $0.99. And it isn't even allowed on the App Store. Be happy you have it at all.
Believe it or not, the Win32 library WAS released for Windows 3.1. If you had it, it was possible to play some Windows 95 games and run some programs under Win3.1. If you can find a download for the library, it might still be useful...
Yeah, because I made myself forget them. Editing autoexec.bat and config.sys files was not something I enjoyed.
Thank you Touch Arcade for tweeting this earlier so I could download it before it was pulled and use my QFG anthology CD to install and play the following:
Did anyone manage to run Full Throttle or The Dig? My copy of The Dig is ScummVM ready, it doesn't seem to have an executable file, and FT asks for a CD
iDOS This is retarded why they pull stuff. Apple makes $ off it regardless and so does the developer.
