Cruis.In Posted May 11, 2003 Report Posted May 11, 2003 I guess you might already know about this, but check this out. http://dosbox.sourceforge.net its an emulator, the best of em all heh, emulate an old 286 or 386 computer. sound/fonts/modes etc... ive got starflight 1/2 Simant and wing commander to work in it so far. simple to use. its quite nostalgic let me know if you enjoy rehashing old days.
Fractux Posted May 11, 2003 Report Posted May 11, 2003 Very slick, I'm giving this a try right now. Cheers!
Parias Posted May 11, 2003 Report Posted May 11, 2003 quote:its an emulator, the best of em all hehI'm going to have to debate that, unless they've finally updated it to be capable of running Crusader: No Remorse To date, VirtualPC is the only practical solution I've found to do so. *Sniff* The memories...
Cruis.In Posted May 12, 2003 Author Report Posted May 12, 2003 i have not tried privateer, i dont have the game. as for a site to download those old games sebbish, try http://www.abandonkeep.com/chcr.shtml I will try virtual PC parias starflight ah the fun blast some Spemin today! edit: best freeware emulator. heh.
Emmett.hendrick Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 Excellent - will download tonight - have a lot o old Dos games I'd love to run again including Privateer UFO/XCOM Apocolypse and a few others
Cruis.In Posted May 12, 2003 Author Report Posted May 12, 2003 parias virtual pc is 23 megs, and a trial version. this is 400k. Plus I only want to emulate the 286/386, not whatever else that virtual pc can emulate.
Parias Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Again, DOSBox won't run Crusader: No Remorse or any other slightly higher-end DOS titles. Plus, I can even mount a Win98 install into VirtualPC to expand my legacy gaming leverage a little. Heh.
