  • Ah crap, now there's gonna need to be a part 2 of this because I missed some cool stuff.
    Other video ideas that didn't work out for today:
    -Windows 1 PAINT on Sierra
    -Manually Migrating Logic Express Sampler Instruments
    -Installing Window ME in DOSBox
    Maybe I should make a failure montage video?

    Yes, I am aware of the grave missed opportunity at 29:44
    It only took 3 viewings to notice it but holy hell. Again, it was a bad filming/editing day.

    The computer farting/buzzing with written/leaking data to the sound card brought back some memories.
    Exiting (or crashing) a program and having the last sample looping endlessly. I only hear that about once a year now when my ATI/legacy drivers crash hard enough to skip the BSOD.

    You can enter RESCAN on the DOSBox command line or hit Ctrl + F4 to reload the directory structure. No need to restart DOSBox every time. ;)

    When you said you were using a Windows 3.11 CD, I realized I have my own CD and decided to do exactly everything you did (down to the mouse being broken). Did this because I realized the Windows install I used to set up some old games that would only run on Win3.1 broke after a reinstall.

    (26:25) I believe you can go faster in _SkiFree_ with the 'f' key (toggles like Caps lock); I didn't know about the 'f' key back then. Tried different ways of evading the abominable snow man, including seeing how far up the slope the game would let me climb. Some times I could trick him to run the wrong way (don't remember how), but then he'd come back and eat me regardless. There's no escaping the abominable snow man.

    DOSbox seems to be a bit weird about detecting changes to the file directories while in operation. It typically doesn't notice them until you restart the program, or as you demonstrated, make some direct change to the files through DOSbox itself. Which is weird, but there it is. At least, that's been my experience with the "dir" command in DOSbox itself, outside of the Win3.11.

    I'd like to see a more in-depth video about installing MS-DOS and an older operating system (Win 3.11) on a newer PC that already has an operating system and DOSBox. Kris Asick of *Pixelmusement* uses it as part of his "Shovelware Diggers" series, but I never get to learn about what's going on, the nitty-gritty how-to details. How does it run? What can and can't the older operating system do from DOSBox?

  • @ChozoSR388
    @ChozoSR388 6 років тому +1

    Hey, Druaga, I discovered something that may be useful to you; if you want to install Win 3.11 on DOSBox 0.74 and have the mouse working, you just need to perform two extra steps.
    1. Copy MOUSE .COM into your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory for DOSBox
    2. Add "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MOUSE .COM" (without the space; it's just to keep the filename from showing up as a hyperlink) to your autoexec.bat file.
    Next time you start WIndows 3.11, the mouse will work. A little fast, but you can just adjust that in the Mouse control panel.

    • @PaulTheFox1988
      @PaulTheFox1988 7 років тому +1

      TumbleGamer If I understand what you're asking correctly, then the Z drive is a virtual drive running from RAM, you can't install anything to it, it is only there for DOSBox to provide its initial working environment.

    • @TumbleGamerTK
      @TumbleGamerTK 7 років тому

      1:40 how did he put something in a folder called Win311 in the z drive then.

    • @PaulTheFox1988
      @PaulTheFox1988 7 років тому +2

      He didn't, he mounted a virtual C drive on a physical Z: drive.
      I admit that he made this extremely confusing, but to sum it up:
      The first Z: drive is virtual, it doesn't really exist, this Z: drive is created inside RAM every time you start DOSBox.
      He then mounted a virtual C drive on a physical RAID array mounted at Z:
      This virtual C drive exists inside a folder called Win311, it is to this virtual drive you see him copy files to.
      I hope that makes sense, but I can see where the confusion exists.
