Not to be a downer, but my mom was my best friend. She passed in 2017. Even when I wasn’t living at her house, I was there just about every day hanging out. I miss her terribly. Cherish every moment with mom Dweeb. You’ve got it made bud. Thanks for sharing your DOS setup. 🧡🥤🍕
That is so generous, and such a thoughtful comment. I do cherish every moment because I know it's not going to last forever. The great memories will though :). Thanks buddy.
Seeing this comment and seeing his subs not be at least 200k plus is kinda crazy i just assumed he would be more popular since the videos are so well made especially visually
@@jeepee2 it is really nice to have a niche thing it feels special and kinda cozy in that way but i still hope he gets more recognition he for sure deserves it
My granpda got me into DOS in 1990...we used to go to conventions and buy/trade old floppy disk programs with folks and spent so much time together playing Hoyle's Book of Games & Police Quest. I flew back from Afhhanistan in 2013 to be by his side when he passed, and we got to reminisce about all those times. Truly a great memory that you stirred up today, Dweeb...thank you!
Tech Dweeb is a Gr8 story teller... oh and for those trolling on and on about face reveals and such.. how can it happen???? those hands you see wrapped in the orange and black stripes, are our hands. we do not look at our face when we type, we look at our hands and keyboard controllers. These are the virtual hands that guide us through the Tech and Retro Gaming World. Thank You Tech Dweeb for the reminiscing, and for the teachings, for those that know no other world but point and click.
There is a rumor going around on various sites that Tech Dweeb is a World famous hand model, and if he were to show his face, it would be very distracting because his face is as good looking as his hands. Just saying.
These videos give me flashbacks to the 286/386 days also playing Commander Keen and the most difficult for no apparent reason Indiana Jones games of my childhood.
That is single-handledly the one system I have not emulated AT ALL, tried once many years ago, it didn't work first attempt so I just never got back to trying. This guide will be perfect to get me to finally dive back into that layer of my childhood, THANKS DWEEB, YOU DA BEST!!!
Descent....first time i ever felt motion sickness when playing it. When jazz jackrabbit came out, was blown away by the smoothness ,speed and music. Lots of nostalgia. Well Doom was magic lol. Shareware days were the best.
I’ll admit Wolfenstein 3D or Catacombs was the first game to give me motion sickness. A good number of FPS games didn’t give me that problem. But yeah Descent was a nightmare! It really got me dizzy and nauseated. We had limited access and at times no access to internet so it was a while later I found out that changing the screen size will reduce motion sickness. It really helped.
Descent! That's the one I was looking for, thank you!! ^^ My tiny little brain couldn't comprehend the spatial complexity of that game when it came out.. really looking forward to trying it again to have a nostalgic headache:)
Love your videos. I used to make batch files to launch all my old dos games (“U” for Ultima. Etc). Planning to bring down an old PC from the attic soon. Thanks for the motivation.
How did I know this video was coming soon? This is great TechDweeb, I appreciate these. Where I wasn’t much of a Dos gamer, though, I did have a Win95 computer and many games were Dos executables so this is helpful
Thanks for sharing these DOS gaming memories! That's the best part of this video! Do you remember installing QEMM to play games that need access to the upper memory?
I love your Doom story! So nice to hear a personal account of your experience with the game. I hope you'll consider making more videos with this theme.
You definitively know how to tell stories, that's what I like from all your content and that's why it's so engaging. Great Doom story, best wishes and looking forward to the next chapters
I remember I had a notebook filled with all the commands for all my games. There were so many great ones. Heroes of Might and Magic II, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Rise of the Triad. So many great memories.
Loved your doom story, I share a similar experience but with quake 3 arena and Spiderman (2000), whenever I get a new device, be it an android, or a laptop or an emulation device (miyoo mini - bought recently) I make sure to load up Spiderman (2000) first, that game always takes me back.
Great content, and video series. Here is my DOOM story. One of the first games I bought in 1995 was DOOM, and yes it was the floppy drive version like you had. My neighbor asked if she could borrow it to play. I said sure since I already had it installed on my PC. She didn't return it, so after about a week I went to her house to get my box and game back. I had no idea that she was a chain smoker, and the box just reeked of cigarettes. I had to leave it in the garage for weeks to get rid of that smell (which I hate). I never let her know when I bought a new game again.
Only been watching you for about 3 weeks, but it's so refreshing to see a retro gaming channel with a unique feel to it in a sea of mediocre copycat content. EDIT: And yes, I subbed mate!
I had a buddy in 1995 who played Doom on some kind of 386 with no soundcard -- small window with huge frame was needed, but also the sound was just little bleeps and blips coming from the actual PC motherboard. My favorite "original" ish Doom experience in the past few years has been Doom 64 on Steam. Excellent game (although you better find the secret levels along the way if you want any hope of beating that final boss). My favorite Doom-like is currently Supplice, a GZDoom full conversion with massive maps.
DOS LiFe CrIsis, same here...was poor in the 80s & 90s and didn't have all the cool systems my buddies had, so emulation is a love of mine even at 46. I feel you bro!
The DOOM story takes me back. I had a similar story where I had to decide between Win3.11 and DOS games - on my original computer, I also had to play at a small size; and did similar things - then came DoubleSpace and that allowed me both Windows and ONE DOS game - DOOM was the game.
This channel is so awesome, I love TechDweeb, he puts so much effort, care and love in his videos, I feel totally inspired. His content is always top quality. This channel deserves millions of subscribers. Thank you so much for such an amazing work. Please continue for good.
I've been really curious about all this for a while, but didn't know where to start. This era of gaming is what got me interested and I miss it. Well, this and the Genesis. 💚
Possibly my favorite episode yet. Almost brings tears to my eyes. Almost. By the way, can you show how to connect that 8bitdo controller and that 8bito joystick to DOS next episode? Some of us might like to play Street Fighter 2 on DOS or some generic shoot'em up, games.
I was just watching this as a happy lil ladweeb, nais nostalgic goodnight video learning matrix codes in orange from Td, yeey! then around the Doom-meditation slowly a weird feeling started to creep up on my spine.. never had this 'midlife-crisis' thingummy because thankfully just simply remained a child forever:D but it's such a beautiful and powerful way you picture these memories as past and present interweave that it just gives me shivers.. keepitup!!
It would be fun to go on a nostalgia binge with all my old DOS stuff, but I lost most of it in The Great Windows Self-Destruct of '97, and I don't even remember now what most of it was. It still hurts, losing so much of my childhood like that.
My text based DOS game is easy to start, easy to change the story and easy to add new character to play. I put all instructions&commands into batch files to make an open source project.
After watching your videos for the last few months, I've come to the realization that I think you are I would get along very well in real life. I think we have the exact same taste in games and gadgets, especially when it comes to the classics. Whenever I watch your videos I always feel like I'm watching myself in a parallel universe. The only difference is that while I still love Root Beer, I actually drink Ginger Ale on a daily basis. I think we're even the same age! Not to sound like a creepy stalker or anything. 😂
it's cool and stuff, but I just created shortcuts for all the games, with some optional tweaks per game through command line and added nice cool icons to them. Some of the icons was resized via AI to inprove it's quality. And voila! By the way, the games and DosBox is stored on the flash drive, so I just pop it in, open the folder and see all the nice looking games library
What about some win 3.x games in the future? They are somewhat hard to setup using dosbox, but there are some good games in there. Have you ever played "The Lost Mind of DR.Brain?
Hey TechDweeb. New fan here. Just wanted to say I appreciate that you often put the name of the games at the top while it's on the screen. Saves me having to find out some other way. I don't watch too much youtube, but somehow stumbled upon your channel about 3 or 4 months ago and now watch almost every video 😂. I want to buy a retro mini handheld for a friend. Would you recommend the Miyoo Mini Plus from the video description? I've watched a lot of your videos on minis but don't remember which ones were which. I want one that is ~$40 - $70 USD (~55-95 CAD). Thanks a lot for any advice! P.S. LOL at reinstalling Windows every time you wanted to play Doom. The things we used to do to play games when we were kids 😂
Omg In Turning 39 been through so much in life your opening hit the nail on the head for me. I love the games now. And wow I wanna play dark seed so bad on dos been trying forever
Welll I've used forks with keyboards before. First keycap puller before there were such a thing. Side note: I wish GOG would do more DOS titles but I guess it isn't profitable enough.
We get flicker issue for grey rocks horizontally moving due to the slow response time of LCD monitor when you played Crystal Cave - jump to 1:50 To solve that issue, try to back to CRT monitor. 🙂
What do you think about ExoDos and ExoWin? I'm really have fun with those builds and the mammoth task the Exo team is doing to keep all those abandoned games alive.
@@TechDweeb true, but remember that with ExoDos, you can get the lite version which lists the games, but you get to choose which you download as you browse them. That's what I did as I discovered many games I didn't even know existed 😎
My relationship with my Mother improved by leaps and bounds after I moved out years ago. I talk to her tons now! TechDweep, would you be willing to do a video on your video/audio/studio recording setup?
That is a great idea! I just added some steam tile artwork to the download in resouces/steam-tile if you want to add this as a non-steam game and have some nice arts (you'll have to add the art yourself). www.patreon.com/posts/103463736 I plan on doing a "dos on the deck" video at some point and I'll explain more about that when I do. Thanks for the suggestion!
How is the performance for all different games? Because by gog dosbox are always different settings of cpu and cycles. How you manage one settings for all games on your dweep_dos?
I change cycles on the fly. I explained this in the last video, but you can press ctrl+f12 to speed up the clock cycles, and ctrl+f11 to slow them down. So if I launch a game and it doesn't have great performance I will play around with the cycles to get it perfect. Obviously this is all better if you set your options on a game by game basis but what I like about Dosbox Staging is that it has good CPU compatibility across the board so you rarely need to tweak anything. Out of the 100+ games that I've downloaded only maybe 5 of them need me to adjust the cycles.
@@TechDweeb Thank you! - Do you have a DOSBOX config TXT File with your settings that I can download? I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance!
Have the Famicom version of the 8bitdo keyboard and the NES style mouse. Love 8bitdo controllers and products. By far the best quality. Yeah I played a ton of DOS games back in the day. Some are really difficult to run correctly. I use Launchbox BigBox as my frontend. Hopefully this video helps with some of the issues I have with a few of the games I have.
Seems like a lot of instances where UA-camrs are getting copyright strikes when talking about "retro gaming" in many different forms. Seems like people or companies are really going after UA-camrs for some reason these days. Shame to see so many channels dealing with Copyright Strikes.
Just wondering, but is there a way to use your setup on a Steamdeck. I’d definitely jump on that. I’ve gotten into Linux ever since I picked one up bc of your previous Steamdeck desktop video. Keep it up btw, you’re killing it! 🔥🔥🔥
Dweeb Senpai, how can you play Sega Saturn games on RetroArch on Android? I really wanna play X-Men children of the atom. But Yaba Sanshiro 2 independent emulator is stuck on title screen
Try a different core, and you can also download the alternate version of retroarch that gives you access to more cores. If the game doesn't work in one core there's a good chance it'll work fine in another.
@@TechDweebI tried Yabause and Yaba Sanshiro 2 on retroarch. It's not working... I tried extracting the rom which is on. 7z format and the beetle core can only go to the capcom screen. I tried multiple bios on yaba sanshiro 2 pro version and it's the only game that I have which had issues. It will play up until the title screen. When it asks you to press the start button, it got stuck
@@TechDweeb I shall give it a peep thank you. I gave up many years back because I wasn't able to get this specific title to run. I have had it since a kid on CD. Love your content, today is the last day in my 30s. Smh where did the time go TechDweeb
Oh man! I went into the rabbit hole with Doom when I got Dweeb_dos setup :-) First I got Doom running, then doom II and doom SE - Then multiplayer via IPX... Then I found 'No rest for the living' and 'master levels' and even an obscure old mod made of Copenhagen central station in Denmark that I loved as a child X-D Then I got into the oooold DOS source ports of doom.. First Boom ... then MBF (witch can also run SIGIL I and II BTW) Then Doom Legacy and last TARTAR (witch can run everything with upscaled resolution mouselook and even 32 players multyplayer) In other words ... i used waaaaaay to much time on setting everything up and nearly Zero time on playing X-D Now I am onto Quake and Dukenukem 3d, and heretic and hexen and, and, and... Bye! :-D

I like the keyboard that seems by 8bitDo
And I sure do miss DOS, I even miss Windows 3.1
You can install Windows 3.1 in Dweeb_DOS!
I was today days old when I learned what a run.bat file is.

Seems like a lot of instances where UA-camrs are getting copyright strikes when talking about "retro gaming" in many different forms. Seems like people or companies are really going after UA-camrs for some reason these days. Shame to see so many channels dealing with Copyright Strikes.
Fan here that want to join the DOS club. Using dosbox directly is better than using the dosbox core from RetroArch?
What are your thoughts on turning a Latte Panda into an retro DOS rig?
Hey TD, can you post a link to that monitor? I need that one. Looks perfect! Is it on Amazon?
Bro i haven't heard batch file in 30 year's 😂OMG !
Is there a CRT shader you can recommend to play dos games on Windows? Also, a video diving on shaders would be nice!
Just wondering, but is there a way to use your setup on a Steamdeck. I’d definitely jump on that. I’ve gotten into Linux ever since I picked one up bc of your previous Steamdeck desktop video. Keep it up btw, you’re killing it! 🔥🔥🔥
Yup! Just add it as a non-steam game and it'll work right away!
this arrived just in time i have been wantiing to play system shock! thank youuuu
How do i play Cyberpunk in dos mode at 240p?
Reinstall Windows
What about late 40s 😢
Why would u feel guilty for playing favorite games at any age, I'll probably play till death stop me😂
Dweeb Senpai, how can you play Sega Saturn games on RetroArch on Android?
I really wanna play X-Men children of the atom. But Yaba Sanshiro 2 independent emulator is stuck on title screen
Try a different core, and you can also download the alternate version of retroarch that gives you access to more cores. If the game doesn't work in one core there's a good chance it'll work fine in another.
@@TechDweebI tried Yabause and Yaba Sanshiro 2 on retroarch. It's not working...
I tried extracting the rom which is on. 7z format and the beetle core can only go to the capcom screen.
I tried multiple bios on yaba sanshiro 2 pro version and it's the only game that I have which had issues.
It will play up until the title screen. When it asks you to press the start button, it got stuck

@@TechDweeb I shall give it a peep thank you. I gave up many years back because I wasn't able to get this specific title to run. I have had it since a kid on CD. Love your content, today is the last day in my 30s. Smh where did the time go TechDweeb
Happy Life Gamers....
Oh man! I went into the rabbit hole with Doom when I got Dweeb_dos setup :-)
First I got Doom running, then doom II and doom SE - Then multiplayer via IPX...
Then I found 'No rest for the living' and 'master levels' and even an obscure old mod made of Copenhagen central station in Denmark that I loved as a child X-D
Then I got into the oooold DOS source ports of doom.. First Boom ... then MBF (witch can also run SIGIL I and II BTW)
Then Doom Legacy and last TARTAR (witch can run everything with upscaled resolution mouselook and even 32 players multyplayer)
In other words ... i used waaaaaay to much time on setting everything up and nearly Zero time on playing X-D
Now I am onto Quake and Dukenukem 3d, and heretic and hexen and, and, and...
Bye! :-D
I'm after heroes of might and magic II on android Odin 2, is it possible ?
Is there a way to run your version by using your zip to modify DOSBOX on linux?
Dweeb, Can you tell if there's any way to put new games like Dead Cells on a device like this or the R36s?
..you should mention that, this is for 64bit only ;) .. it won't work for slightly older laptops .. ex. XP or win7 32 OS
Whats the game in the thumbnail?
