Shut down your computer and throw it in nearest river. You don't deserve to have a computer If you have Linux instead of Windows... What?

Config.sys, autoexec.bat anyone? I don't think it's fair to put all the teenagers into the naive corner and elevate us, 30s-50s, above them. There are those who just want the machine to work in every generation. Understanding IP-based networks seems much more important to me in the light of the things to come than the operation of a single terminal on the lowest level.

I have bunch of DOS games on my floppies, mostly games from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Ukraine or Russia, I don't have DOOM But these games are those ones I played in my childhood and they're so nostalgic for me now But I can't run them on Windows 7 machine anymore, I need an older operating system to run them. It worked last with Windows XP for fullscreen DOS command prompt support, whic these games force in default (changing the screen mode from text to graphics), which does no work on Windows 7 DOS prompt, which supports only text mode and not graphics mode anymore _________________ [ Websites | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Instagram ] “When you feel the worst, turn to the sun and all the shadows will fall behind you.” - John Lennon

CZghost The hell good boy Joined: 22 Jun 2011 Posts: 1922	Posted: 12-05-2016 01:56 PM                    Not all. Dosbox is good for playing games that require sound effects (such as DOOM), but if you have to work with programs, that run only in DOS environment, VM is what gets in first place. Also, Dosbox had pretty out-of-place colouring in fullscreen mode, which is main reason, why I installed VM instead of Dosbox... _________________ [ Websites | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Instagram ] “When you feel the worst, turn to the sun and all the shadows will fall behind you.” - John Lennon
