Re: [Audyssey] Running DOS games on windows 10?
Its not that bad. The only issue I have had is getting agt games like cosmoserve to output properly. Com0com is fine to get installed, com10 is what I use.

I was born in 1982, in 1991 I got my first computer. for 5.5 years I used dos. in 1996 I got my first windows system but still used dos. in 2002 I got my next system with windows. Still used dos for some stuff a bit less. in 2006 I got my next system, still used dos a bit. in 2010 I got another system. Still used dos, though by then the system was dieing the battery got vary hot and the drives were failing. In 2011 I stopped using dos. Its 2017 now and about 4 years back I got the system I am using now. I only use windows, however through my teen years I used dos for gaming etc. Its true I used the keysoft shell most of my life so the only time I ever did true dos were reformats, setups, or gaming so I probably didn't do much. Where I had to do something complex I set a batch file to do it though I have read more complex dos stuff. Dos died with the later windows and the fact with 64 bit units ms is really pushing dos out. Problem is now everyone thinks that if the system puts an error out they expect to click something for it to go away, no one appreciates how things work. Judging from your mail, you were either going through the electronic borg process between worlds of windows and dos or you had a hard time of it. Dos was a single task nightmare and sometimes I wished it could be a bit better. But I still liked it at times. Even screen readers now are not as good as the dos ones were.

Its because cd is complicated and painful, and requires you to specify that you want to change drives, and if you don't, it won't tell you something went wrong. It is generally a good thing that commandlines are shifting to only be used in rare circumstances, because without this change, computers would never have grown to be what they are today.

[Audyssey] interesting story off the paper
Hi. So this is an interesting story off the paper. http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/games/90227446/Study-shoots-down-link-between-crime-and-violent-video-games?cid=edm:stuff:dailyheadlines=165111687 Its only 1 study but if others find this way, games may get left off the hook. I am not saying children should play r18 games after all thats why we have a rating system, but if games are blamed less for life and just seen as games things may be a lot better. There can be those that are irisponsible with guns and the same could be for games. Games are not real just yet, I play games to stay away from the real world. The moment games became a solution to real world issues I think I'd have to stop for a bit. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
