I found my Mac/DOSBox config file, but I had a really tough time doing it. It's named "DOSBox 0.74 Preferences" and I found it in username/Library/Preferences/ .

DosBox is fairly easy to set up (both Mac and PC). I ran into the same out of memory error for DTIII and DTIV, but I was able to up the memory to 63mb in the config file and now it works. Maybe you ...

I can't speak for Patrick or Barry, but it is doubtful that there will ever be a DT5. Sad

Thank you, all. I'm quite happy about it!

There's a reason you can't hear the music during the beginning - there isn't any. Not yet, anyway. That's one of those things I'm still working on.

Anyone here (besides me) ever mess with ambigrams?

I'm working on a jingle-like piece of music for a client (I'm also doing it for the fun of it.)

In grad school, I wrote an atonal piece for clarinet. I didn't know what to call it, ...

I wasn't a kid back then, either - I'm still probably one of the older members here.

Anyway - thanks!

That sounds good. I will get it in as soon as I can within the week.

I do hope I'm not the only entry...

Hey there.

I'm trying to finish my entry, but there's some tricky INF I'm working out, and Real Life keeps interfering. So I don't think I'm going to make the August 1 deadline.

We're ALMOST there. Really. I'm just having a little trouble with one measure of music. (I'm a stickler, so I want it to be right.)

Of course, Scapegoat still has to APPROVE what I've done...

That's a good idea - one I hadn't thought of. But I both like it and don't like it. It all depends on if you think color 63 should go up to 252 or up to 255. If you look at it as 63 being the highe ...

Well, I think I need to go back to using the 'floor' round. The problem is this: if I convert the .PAL to .PLT and then back to .PAL, I should get the same thing. But I don't. A value of 63 will go ...

Hmmmm... maybe something like that. Take any number from the .PLT, and multiply it by 252/255 (0.988) which brings the range from 0-255 to 0-252. Then divide the number by 4 and round it. In my exa ...
