PC Emulation

[Wayne]

Angus,

PCtask 4.4 is the best option
lot of games work there
for example I remember tested Wolfestein,monkey island and doom,legend of kyrandia and all worked
however I recommend at least a 040 and a gfx card for speed

btw, anyone here have tryed pctask under winuae?

Im asking now how fast and how good it can be there
under winuae
Pctask can be an alternative of DOSBOX for windows
who knows I will try that later

jiffy,

send me a mail and I will reply u  with the manual of pctask 4.4.....aldozx@yahoo.es


inthesand,

vmware is very buggy under dos..games crash or not run at all...virtualpc is the same thing

of course DOSBOX is great and is the best....but I remember that PCtask was great and could play various dosgames on my a1200 040 /AGA...at descent speed
Imagine now on winuae with a fast 68k emulation and a gfx card...it can be very fast

btw,pctask here here is working under winuae....it boots perfect and using p96 uae gfx card but I can't initialize any emulation without a catweasel pci card...so

anyone can here send me a small pctask hardfile to initialize emulation under winuae?

Angus,

you have copied all dos files on that disk but
your disk not works ob pctask cause is not booteable

make this:
insert the original DOS 6.22 disk1 on a pc
when a requester popus to install DOS press F7 to install DOS in a single floppy disk
insert then your 720 floppy disk and DOS will be installed on that disk..that's all..then use that disk on PCtask

Angus,

I will explain agin
insert your original dos 6.22 disk on your pc
wait before ends to boot..don't push any key

When the installation requester popus and asks what to do..check down on the screen..you will see that if you press F7 you can install dos on a single disk...so press F7 and check for instructions

or also you can make this:
insert your original dos6.22 disk and when finished booting
press F3 to exit the insstallatiion process
then type:

format a: /s

now insert your 720k floppy and press enter
when finished you will have a booteable 720 floopy to use on pctask

Angus,

DOS 6.22 support 720 disks
maybe the disk that you have it's not an original 6.22 installation disk
Get an original disk using emule ..there are lot of ppl that share DOS disks
but first try again using now this command:

format a: /F:720 /s

this should work

bye
