10:30 PM - DOS game emulation
I bought a copy of Tie fighter collectors edition for DOS on ebay recently. (1.50 us) I got it running in xp except for sound using a vdmsound beta. Its a sweet app and lets you slow down games etc. I think i can get sound working if i screw with it more. For that game you must run in 320 x 240 mode.. 640 x 480 fucks up. Mouse control works and i haven't tried a joystick yet. Thats one of my favorite games of all time. I have the mac version but it doesn't work in OSX and under classic the usb to adb joystick emulation is too fast. (well it was with the previous joystick i had) Caryn and I were toying with formatting her iBook G3 with classic so we can run some old software for macs. I think thats a great idea. I might get around to it someday.
Anyway, vdmsound in combiniation with dosbox will allow you to run almost any dos game under windows xp. Too bad i gave them to my cousin mostly.
