  • UserPenaltiesFri Sep 16, 2022 12:51 pm

    a few years ago I found a couple tsr font changers for DOS but they were... awful

  • dvd3000Fri Sep 16, 2022 12:50 pm
    oh thats cool, i always thought it would be cool to have fonts in DOS or textmode
  • UserPenaltiesFri Sep 16, 2022 12:50 pm
    you can also update CPU cycle speed on the fly and with the default configuration you can have .ttf fonts being used in text-mode

    i set up shared drives on my 86box and stuff, I even have a win95 86box with several web browsers for testing my website locally (hosted on my main pc)
  • dvd3000Fri Sep 16, 2022 12:49 pm
    oh thats so cool!
  • UserPenaltiesFri Sep 16, 2022 12:49 pm
    also did i mention how cool dosbox-x is? I can mount a directory on my local hard drive on startup, and it will show up in windows 98. Of course, it won't update until i reboot but it's amazing. It's like virtualbox guest additions!
  • dvd3000Fri Sep 16, 2022 12:49 pm
    idk, as long as you have enough room u should be fine right. back in 2016 or so i used that win98 machine basically as second PC cause it wasn't that bad on the internet back then
  • UserPenaltiesFri Sep 16, 2022 12:48 pm
    i really should eventually set up my pentium 4 computer and install 98 or something on it. The only problem is that my family is gonna be like "what the actual fuck are you doing stop it"
  • dvd3000Fri Sep 16, 2022 12:47 pm
    yea, i noticed that! 11111... works as the product key for almost everything pre 1997 or so from what i've seen
  • UserPenaltiesFri Sep 16, 2022 12:46 pm
    huh i just found out something funny. So do you know how you can input 111111... as the product key for Windows 95? well it works in plus too!
  • dvd3000Fri Sep 16, 2022 12:46 pm
    yea theres also tons of new software on my win98, i also used it as a floppy disk imaging machine back then before i switched to my win7 machine on the network to do that (I also connected my beat up pentium 166 to the network a couple times to image 5.25 disks)
