Greetings, little mortals, it's Mr. Hex speaking from the sunny (er... not today) beaches of La Serena, Chile. I remembered that Rel likes to write things on cybercafes, so this' my feeble try at that. *sips a Coke*
Anyways, I got this little project of mine (yes, *that* one) running flawlessly and smooth as cream on Win XP... without sound, obviously. So I looked for the almighty VDMS to "overcome what has probably been the most exasperating limitation of DOS boxes since Windows NT". To make the story short, the ga... er, the project ran as fast as before (maybe a little bit more jerky), but the controls suffered from severe lag -and when I say severe, it's SEVERE, dammit-. I fiddled with the parameters only to get results ranging from "unresponsive as hell" to "you hanged the system, asshole".
Well, the question is: is VDMS the best solution for XP? Because if that's so... :evil:
Ah, BTW, dual-booting, DosBox, LILO & stitch and all these junk are out of question.
On a side note, pity on you Rel. Now I know what's the *feeling* (on my wallet also) of these cybercafes... At least these guys have loads of webcams to play with. *ends the Coke*
