    Eye-Fi Sdhc Cards On The Wiz?

    These combo cards (8GB with Wi-Fi) described here (and sold elsewhere) look so sweet! Has someone has got one of these cards working on their WIZ? It would be so neat to be able to have Wi-Fi on my WIZ without needing a dongle.

    Alternate Filesystems On The Wiz?

    Hey guys this is probably a complete noob question but here goes: Has anyone successfully reformatted their WIZ with a different (non-fat32) filesystem? Since I only use Linux I was thinking primarily of reiserfs, xfs, ext3 or ext4. If possible the NAND and the SD cards both. Is this...

    Poor Ultima 6 Performance In Dosbox

    Yea I tried that one out first. It works acceptably if you overclock heavily, but I had a lot of trouble with random crashes. Maybe I need a different kickstart rom? Or mabye I need to have all of them. Anyways it wasn't the official port - for this version of Ultima the official version was...

    Poor Ultima 6 Performance In Dosbox

    fmopl == FM synthesis? I know that Ultima 6 does music via your choice of popular soundcards from the time (sound blaster, adlib, roland, etc...) but does sound effects via PC speaker only, so in the DPSBox config you have to have both enabled for both to work. But its clear that the music is...

    Poor Ultima 6 Performance In Dosbox

    ...was not. Apparently it was naive of me to assume that the cycles settings would apply directly to the amount of cycles dedicated to sound processing equally as they apply to the rest of the engine, so thank you for clearing that up for me. That is far more information than I managed to gain...

    Poor Ultima 6 Performance In Dosbox

    I find it humorous that you seem to have missed the point that it was an experiment I tried just to say I had tried everything, fully knowing that I would be "shooting myself in the foot." You do understand the concept of experimentation right? The reason I posted about it was that in a way a...

    Poor Ultima 6 Performance In Dosbox

    Greetings people, Perhaps someone out there can shed some light on how I can improve performance for this game in DOSBox on my WIZ. From Google searches it seems to be a well known fact that this game runs kinda slow in DOSBox on any system that doesn't have a lot of MHZ, especially non-x86...

    Tv Out Problems

    Well I don't understand most of this because I just copied it from that DOSBox guide. It is clear the cpuclk part just overclocks the processor to 700MHZ but the values for lcd_timings and ram_timings are definitely over my head. ./pollux_set...

    Tv Out Problems

    I haven't tried the TV-out mod for my WIZ yet but in following some online guide about DOSBox I ran across the Pollux_Set and Pollux DPC Set tools which supposedly you can use to reduce or eliminate screen tearing by changing the lcd timings. I'm just curious if you have tried either of these...

    Mapper.txt And Dosbox.conf Repeatedly Corrupted

    I seem to be having a new issue with Dosbox and it only seems to happen with a specific game; Ultima VI. Basically every time I run this program after painstakingly attempting to create a correct mapper.txt file and dosbox.conf for it I end up with directional controls that don't match what I...

    No Music In Dosbox?

    UPDATE! It works now! Sound and framerate is choppy as hell, but playing. Here's what happend: I was copying Space Quest (a game that had no installer, or even EXE files... just run 'SQ.COM' from the directory and it starts) over to test if *any* music worked in dosbox on my WIZ. In the...

    No Music In Dosbox?

    Ok, thanks, that's what I figured. Well I got a very interesting result... now running ULTIMA6.EXE on the WIZ from the installed directory that I copied from my PC gives me the same plain black screen (but with a mouse cursor that responds to the touchpad) that I previously got when trying to...

    No Music In Dosbox?

    Ah! That is helpful, I will try that, thank you. When you say "created config files" do you mean also the dosbox.conf file that my linux copy of dosbox creates, or just the DOS stuff that INSTALL.EXE creates - inside the actual CD-ROM program directory it appears in this case? Also, just out...

    No Music In Dosbox?

    Greetings people, I have managed to get the CD-ROM version of Ultima VI running in dosbox on my WIZ but despite trying dozens of iterations of the relevant config options there is still no music. Is this expected or am I doing something wrong? I have set my dosbox.conf to execute the...
