but something makes it so that they always need me to have "at least [number which is MUCH less than what I have] free memory," and this computer is NOT winxp, it's win98, and old as hell! anyone knows any ways of making the dos that runs in the background of win98 have memory? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you mean the dos that runs in the background, or the other dos which runs in the foreground in front of windows which is front of the true dos? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
errrh... the dos that appears when I click on a dos-game... it's a window... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try running it from true dos (the former) and not in windows (the latter) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
isn't there any other way?! |

thats kinda resource heavy tho? there is a way round it, cannae remember tho, so there was no point saying it |

well it's a last resort option. If NOTHING else works and/or you're lazy, try that. There are ways to tweak settings or restart in dos (in which case you may still have had to tweak your configuration), but this is a safe bet, and furthermore good on many platforms. |

yeah, it was kind of slow... the thing is that these games are nagging about 600kbs of memory and stuff like that, and I know I've got that much free... |

press ctrl f12 to overclock in dosbox. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
u can adjust speed in dosbox... change the stteings file |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

damn... I was actually looking up MAME earlier... weird. So I could look at / play "Zero Wing" u know... all ur base r belong to us About the DOS thing.... right click on the game shortcut and click on the memory tab. See if any of those settings help. You might need to tweak your sysedit files / make more memory. Google it |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah, those settings have never helped me... |

not enough compatability, I'm afraid... |

FAggotry is rife. I think it's a case of log off to DOS mate. |

ah, good old conventional RAM. you've only got 640kb of conventional RAM; even on the best x86 computer available today. the architecture is filled with all sorts of bizarre workarounds and limitations that most people don't know about, or remember. you want to basically boot DOS with hardly any device drivers or such to get the most out of your conventional RAM. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damned! I'll have to just do that then... crap. |

...and as us "sceners" all know What u can do w/ 64K is pretty amazing. If u can get the demos to run right heh |

And I want to kill you.. I guess we can't realistically expect to get everything we want. |

A good find. thx I never could get Wipeout XL for PC to run with sound on any of my PC's... the SB16 emulator on my SB Live and Audigy just never did work right with 98SE. Always fucking crashed. *goes to closet to find Wipeout* ...I found out that the sntrk. to it is all trackered music |
