Quake/2 now broken???

<< < (2/2)

Daniel:
The SNAP driver for the ATI X850 XT never had the DOS and WIN3 support finished. I believe it was one of the last cards worked on before development ceased. I have the same card and could get full screen DOS, but not windowed, and no WIN3 at all.

Can you get windowed DOS or WIN3 either full screen or windowed? If so, I would be interested how. If not, that could be your problem.

Pete:
Hi

We are talking about the OS/2 versions of Quake 1 and 2 so DOS and DOSBox are not involved.

Like Sigurd I find DOSBox useful for running a few of those old DOS games and as that is all I do with DOS I no longer bother installing DOS/Win16 Support when installing eCS - which neatly sidesteps the SNAP ATI Xseries windowed DOS session problem :-)

Daniel:
Thanks for the info. I'm not using DOS for games. I have an electronic CAD program which has drivers for up to 1920x1080. Yes, real DOS drivers. There are people who like it as much as many of us like OS/2-eComStation so volunteers have written new drivers. They have also written Win32 drivers.

I will try DosBox. But isn't it limited to VGA?

Daniel

Pete:
Hi Daniel

Yes, DOSBox is limited to VGA.

If I needed something more I guess I would end up installing DOS into VirtualPC or VirtualBox - no idea if that would work for you though.

I run DOS Games with DOSBOX; there you can specify (in the config.file) the size of the Fullscreen resolution.

My Sony Vaio Pro 13 does have native OS/2 1920X1080 resolution, but my DOSBOX fullscreen (and it is then the "full screen") does have only 800X600 Resolution or 1024X738, as needed.

So I can play i.e. "Cusader, no remorse", "Bioforge", "Gene Machine", "Noctropolis", "The riddle of Master LU", "The Dig"....

The Dig(and many many other cool DOS quests) works with ScummVM with better performance
