Computer Software Tips : How to Use DOSBox

[racigor40]

This is not good lesson at all!

[FugeesTheScore]

I give up on using this stuff.

[Madrawer8]

Thanks Dave

[mattz50]

thank you for the help and sorry for all these people being douche bags

[PrisonerofWarfare]

No help at all. The only thing I learned about dosbox is you can type dir to bring up a list of directories. Which I already knew, but had forgotten.

[trademark6]

wtf is wrong with you people he showed you exactly how to use it.

what a bunch of n00bs

[Persona460]

this tells you how to use it... you guys are probably just 10 years old and dont want to learn how to use dos and are hoping for an easy way

[CaptainKacknup]

Thank you Dave Andrews for showing me nothing.

[667Atlas]

When i get to Fallout in the c drive and type in the name of the game wich is Fallout it says that command is illegal

Is the file supposed to be .rar please i need an answer fast

[Leibstantarde]

THANK YOU!!!

[187SicknesS]

ad=skip your vid.

[gary72carol61]

@ neofox101

LMAO I thought exactly the same, how weird that I should scroll down to find your comment. I gave your comment the thumbs up, lol. In his description it says he has a degree in computer science, but it does not say in presenting so people should stop mocking him, he has a degree, yeah a degree of stifness!

[gary72carol61]

At the end he should of said My name is Dave Andrews and I just showed you "What you already know!"

Just a bit fun Dave, but my grandparents are in their 90,s and they want to buy a computer to use DOSBOX for games in the 1930s. I have shown them how to turn it on, and I just got a call to say they have found your channel here on youtube. Dave from the bottom of my heart, keep it up bro!!

[DrDervish]

@gary72carol61 >for games in the 1930s. Wat

[SuperGoldfish1999]

Dave Andrews is from Mobile, Alabama Yawl

[NailGun500]

Dosbox is awesome if you know how to use it,,,,was finally able to play toonstruck again after about 10 years.....

[Blueberrywilliams]

u rly didnt



[Ozzzie968]

I Barfed When You Turned Around 

[bubbleheadft]

Okay, that's easy. I could've done that. Now show my how to run Wolfenstein without getting an illegal command error. Maybe THEN I'll go to your videos if I need help for something.

[N37BU6]

The man just showed you how to navigate your entire directory... if you can't figure out the rest, you're useless.

[neofox101]

When he turned his chair around slowly at the beginning I expected to hear Darth Vader's theme.

[scobalula]

Have u ever heard of SCREEN RECORDING SOFTWARE!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE CAMSTUDIO OR SNAGIT

[mavishill]

expertvillage makes shittiest tutorials n advice videos on youtube!

[iheartnes]

No one uses dosbox for text documents you dumbass!! Go eat a bullet!

[sydamandude]

Face palm.

I dont care who you are.

[TheXeno2000]

HELP,ARGHHH...........

WHEN I INSTALL THE GAME,IT SAYS:

"Looking for disc in drive "A",

please insert your SIMEARTH disc"

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP,

ARGHH,IM POSTING THIS TO ALL DOSBOX VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nargarothfreak]

ookey i dont now shit!!

Thanks a lot for nothing!

Cheers!

[ikeano29]

@nargarothfreak look at my video for an easy way to run a game in dosbox

[HellR4z0r]

apf the 1 video that u need is .. just drag and drop the exe on the dosbox icon xD

[theplock99]

LAWL NERD

[SuperCsubi]

Jus show how to run DOS games... no need that. :)

[generalcircle]

Okay people. A lot of you are having trouble with this "\" slash. Just press the button above the "enter" or "return" button on your keyboard.

[frothfrenzy]

@generalcircle That would work if everyone had the American keyboard layout. Indeed, DOSBox was created to utilize the American layout by default, but most of the users do not have the said configuration. I actually happen to have two extra buttons that are non-existent on an American keyboard, but the button left of the backspace key, the one containing the backslash character, is missing!

Really, the easiest way to access the \ character is via the ASCII code table. Can't go wrong with that.

[generalcircle]

@frothfrenzy Nobody cares if you have an american keyboard or not. Just buy one and use that. Forget you and your ASCII table (people only use that to find char nums for programs)

[AlJayRobins13]

how do you get the slash on a vista laptop i can not find it anywhere. english keyboard too?

[frothfrenzy]

@AlJayRobins13 Either use the ASCII code table via the numeric keypad, or the "keyboardlayout" variable inside the DOSBox config file. You can activate the keypad over the NumLock button, and it's typically used on laptops via the keys "789uiojklm". As for the "keyboardlayout" variable, you can go to "dosbox (dot) com (slash) wiki (slash) KEYB" and find out which keyboard layout allows you to use the backslash key.

[pom0daz]

how do you make that slash?

[generalcircle]

@pom0daz you mean this "\" slash or "/" slash?

[frothfrenzy]

@generalcircle Obviously he's looking for the backslash character "\"... something that Buddha over here quite forgot to explain, among many other things.

What about output methods, sound emulation, CPU cycles, IPX support, CD-ROM mounting? I mean, not even the simplest of commands was explained properly, so I guess you could just discard everything else and call it a day.

For an Expert Village, this sure has a newbie flavor to it.

[Drigea]

WTF ?

[Ilamarea]

weak

[prozacpeople]

Well,and then what?

[SubmarineYellow9]

Very useless video man, great quality and a good basis but you really need to put more into a video.

[redwolffire]

are laptops able to type colons on Dosbox? mine can't.

[asarabiya]

@redwolffire

I have the same problem with slash though.. very frustrating...

[IIUKBlitzII]

DOSBox!? What the fuck, its called Command prompt

[KinguNoKin]

@IIUKBlitzII Nope. That's DosBox. It's a program used to mount and play old Dos games.

[WhipeOut9]

I updated my video... (Gonna update it a bit later too for better quality :D)

Just click on my nickname to see it!

[xXAwsomeManXx]

Funny thing is , my dad still has MSDOS x3

[clayto1332]

lol so corny

[ZSaberToothTigerZ]

Doesnt work, just doesnt.. :(

[counterblance23]

you did'ent show us any thing

[H0M3R0W]

@counterblance23 He explained it just fine. Opening a file on the windows computer through DosBox. Re-watch it about 10 times, maybe you'll get it.

[digioverlord]

sigh i now this is cool for memories, but for peaple who were born in a era when keyboards and mouces were been used, i would realy like a easier way to run elder scrolls!!!

[KheftiuAsarButchiu]

Ahh.. I wanted to play Prince of Persia 1. :( but this stuff is too technical for me.

[SuperEgo1985]

NO!!1 you did NOT show us how to use DOSBOX. YOU RETARDDDDDDDDDDD.

[AcesHigh59]

lol agreed

[xdankboi420x]

o and for the record for anyone who wants to know who dosen't know just drag and drop the exe for the game on top of your dosbox shortcut

[xdankboi420x]

lol thank you

[xdankboi420x]

kill yourself you fail at life ps you look like a date rapist

[cjhydra08]

@xdankboi420x

U ARE RIGHT, THAT GUY IS USELESS

[Bademeister95]

no information yu showed how to install and more but when the game starts you have tu install the game with dosbox and this prt you didn´t show, but it is the most important part

[shtboxexpose]

hmmmm

[091847177]

[Fevin7]

i cant get the colon to work

[aarne188]

welll...I have penis?

This is so "useful" video, thank god I know how to use it, otherwise i would be overflowed by information....

[Instrumentals4Sale]

THIS CHANNEL IS ABSOLUTLEY USELESS

Ive come accross it many times.

Last one I watched by this channel explained (audio production) mixing sound levels in music as....

'look at the lights, they should be up at the top'

Complete non information.

The guy in this video just showed you how to start the program up and write /c.

You get 1000x more info if you type INFO in the command prompt. :s

Useless vid.

[1GameataTime]

ok, lol i just wanna kno how to play warcraft 1... anybody have anyway i could figure out how to?

[sleinfer]

I played it without using DOS.

[Gameplayer77]

when you use dosbox do you run games with it or do you install games or can you both ?

[cs512tr]

both. great for native dos games,apps and dos/win95 games.

it is a dos emulator, so most operations in dos, can be carried out through dosbox.

if using it often, you may want to mount a c drive path using the dosbox.conf file (add a line at the bottom of the text file:

example::

mount c c:\dbox

and for cd-rom usage::

mount d f:\ -t cdrom

cheers

carl

[nathan359]
