Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Praxibetel-Ix says : Looks like I know what I might be doing over the weekend! Installing DOSBox to my laptop, searching and picking through the sites you mentioned for some games, and then having myself a good time. It'd be a step up from the usual Aisleriot Solitaire. :)>> <<@mihailvormittag6211 says : 👍>> <<@benk2304 says : I just read Pac-Man came out in 1980 and has earned $14 billion in revenue. Now that's a lot of quarters! 😂 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man>> <<@KeithWeston says : Belated thanks: I've been dosbox-ing on my Pi 3b+ for some time thanks to this video helper.>> <<@alex_photo-shop493 says : My retroarch and DOSBOX dont seen an keyboard. And i cant print any command 😐>> <<@anthonynorton666 says : I was hoping you covered IMGMOUNT. Also, is there a way to turn a USB drive into a virtual CDROM or Floppy drive?>> <<@InHomeTutoringHonolulu says : Now I gotta find Battle Chess>> <<@RWL2012 says : Super Pac-Mon is a clone of Super Pac-Man which was Namco's own sequel to Pac-Man (as opposed to Midway's Ms. Pac-Man).>> <<@TruthLivesNow says : I am going here since I have never been able to get the DosBox thing to work correctly...LOL!>> <<@vojtechadame5860 says : I also mounted a DVD drive. (Works in Windows only.)>> <<@desther7975 says : It really was the golden age. Computers were fun and interesting but had not yet taken over everything.>> <<@allenellisdewitt says : Crazy to think how tiny/cheap of a PC can EMULATE what would have cost thousands of dollars. :) Bring on the Singularity! LOL>> <<@lawbag1 says : He’ll be setting up Emulation Station next.>> <<@hadirezaei9556 says : Hacker anonymous Kali linux>> <<@massmike11 says : Great, now how do you mount a drive on MAC OS>> <<@stevewhitt9109 says : love your vids. very informative. diskpart my favorite.>> <<@skytechbits says : wild today hay? :) I have DOS lol but I didn't know they created this "DOSbox" thing. Well okay lol>> <<@RonLarhz says : But...why? all the trouble? I'm sure you can dl these games as standalone...?>> <<@dnoodspodu1159 says : About using oldies and mapping - and progress When I play Master Of Orion [from 1993] I also listen to various music stored locally. And so the game runs in DOS-Box [on a 21:9 aspect ratio monitor with retained proportions may I add] and I operate withing it using a wireless mouse. On top of that I have a wireless Logitech F710 gamepad which has mapped keys to some keyboard shortcuts implemented in MOO by its developers. But [here comes the goodie part] I also mapped some of the gamepad buttons to my good old Winamp which I configured to have some global keyboard shortcuts [i.e. these shortcuts will work also when I am using and I am focused in a window of some other software, be it e.g. Excel or Photoshop - assuming the Winamp is also running at the same time in the background]. All in all wuth such combo I do not have anymore to sit with my hands on desk and constantly switch between game being played in the full-screen mode and the desktop of Windows to for example change or pause a tune - instead I can lie on a bed and have one hand on a mouse and the other one on gamepad [and the big size of the screen makes everything easily readable from afar]. In other words: welcome to the future OG members of the glorious PC Master Race [wink wink] I wish only that I could have some kind of a mini display that could show me either the whole of Winamp or just import data from it so that I could see the content of tag fields of the tracks being played. And that they were on the market also some other such configurable gamepads [as to my knowledge only this model can do mapping to such extent as the aforementioned does]>> <<@dnoodspodu1159 says : I must have been using DOS-Box for playing the original Master Of Orion [from 1993] for something like 20 years now - and until watching this video I did not now it had a native key-mapper function. So thank you Chris for bringing up this feature>> <<@darrell3O87OO says : Excellent video. I will try this on my raspberry pi.>> <<@jamesleighton85872 says : now to relive my past on wolfenstein>> <<@catriona_drummond says : yours must be the only video about DOSbox on youtube that doesn't have Doom running.>> <<@dreammfyre says : We need a native DOS mini computer with sound blaster support that can run all those 90s classics flawlessly. Emulation is fun and all but it’s not really there IMO, especially for running stuff from the mid to late 90s.>> <<@filthyfrankblack4067 says : ETA Prime: "has entered the chat">> <<@clovenbullet says : can you emulate old sound cards in dos box like the AWE32 or Gravis ultrasound>> <<@PeterFloyd678 says : What a great informative video. I have been using another emulator but this looks to be so easy to use! Keep up the great videos!>> <<@stefanopilone957 says : Thank you for this video, I have been using Dosbox for about 10 years in Linux, mainly to review an old C/C++ course on floppy disks of 1990, it is possible to run also the turboC++3.0 compiler; it is also possible to use non English keyboards downloading a proper file from the translation section of the download page>> <<@mfghost7641 says : Perhaps you were thinking of Michael Bars who did the Pac Man Rap?>> <<@Abdulla79 says : The Internet Archive have DOS software library and a game library, with more than 7000 games.>> <<@derlitewolf4058 says : ich habe das jetzt genau so gemacht, bekomme aber drive C: nicht eingerichtet, wie hast du das gemacht? ich frage beim raspberry pi, ok. unvorteilhaft ist auch die jetzt total geändete tastenbelegung. ich finde keine sonderzeichen.>> << says : VALUE>> <<@edwardedsmith2067 says : Great now my high tech pile of crap can run my Favorite games I used to put tokens into, Guess I need a piggy bank for the tokens now.....ah the golden days.>> <<@reggiep75 says : It's been years since I did DOS but for some reason, you never forget all the essential commands.>> <<@dcc1165 says : Another GREAT video! I've used DOSBox for years and was able to resurrect most of my old DOS programs. There are a very few that seem to misbehave a bit, but that's pretty rare. Have you considered a video on FreeDOS? It's 99% compatible with MS-DOS 6.2 and I have it running in VirtualBox. It's pretty good, except I can't seem to get sound to work. If you could do a deep-dive into FreeDOS, that would round out the "Nostalgic Gaming" topic for sure :).>> <<@smartassist9700 says : Sir Christopher, I have an excellent video idea. “”E1 and E3 EDSFF to Take Over from M.2 and 2.5 in SSDs””. I know this applies to Business more so. But, will there be an option at HOME / SMALL BUSINESS NEEDS? Affect pricing on current storage offerings to benefit “us”?>> <<@skashax777x says : this has gotta be the best bid you have ever produced!!>> <<@NewAgeDIY says : Hi Chris: a quick message drop. I wondering if you could do a long term project using The SparkFun SARA-R5 LTE GNSS Breakout? Setup a YouTube question Survey and see if your subscribers are interested.>> <<@BWGPEI says : Factoid: Linux Mint started auto-mounting my Warcraft2 disk as two devices, and now Warcraft2 does not see the disk which is required to play the game. All good under Windows, sigh, and it used to run in Linux, bigger sigh. Many thanks for another great presentation.>> <<@RetroJack says : I love DOSBox, however, when I want a more bare-metal solution such as when I want to emulate a specific IBM compatible machine such as a 386 or even a Pentium, I use 86DOS - this is what I use to run Windows 98SE, for example.>> <<@peterboy209 says : Does it run on am old sbc like Pcduino?>> <<@avejst says : Great video as always 👍☺️ Love this opportunity of playing old programs from the past Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍😀>> <<@cyberp0et says : I have a Windows 98 machine so I can have the real MS-DOS under the hood :p If you want a DOS program with which to download youtube videos, try youtube-dl. It is a command prompt program, super simple and super efficient. Just type yotube-dl video link (from within the folder that contains youtube-dl)>> <<@ChrisHalden007 says : Excellent!!!>> <<@jlinkels says : Just for historical accuracy. The correct stanza (1:22) is 5..4..3..2..1..Thunderbirds are go! Great video. I was back in 1988 for a moment.>> <<@bigjim152 says : Chris - this brought back some DOS memories. Although retro games are great, i also used a lot of work programs on DOS including a word processor called Wordperfect. I still have a lot of data locked in this old format. Do you know if this is still available and would work in Dosbox?>> <<@SUPERBIGMANThe says : DosBox GL is much better Google it and find out DBGL 7.9>> <<@AmandaMeowMeow says : Great tutorial as always! For those who want to run DOS applications rather than games, you may also checkout DOSBox-X at dosbox-x.com, which is a forked version of DOSBox and it's more actively maintained. It appears to have higher compatibility and more accurate emulation to older machines, especially when you have display issues with some of the low-level DOS applications with the ordinary DOSBox.>> <<@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647 says : Also, I discovered a few more Brit shows jelly baby :D,without going back in time lol how can one learn all of this I mean everything. FYI I'm a female shocker right. I grew up with females named starting with Johnny (ie) Sue etc I chose this name for here :D>> <<@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647 says : Actually, it's Thunderbirds are go>>
