You can freely choose the control scheme in the original if you wanted too

Looking at the screenshots it looks far worse.

Why would you want to play it in a non-default resolution?
>non obstructively ran in a window
So does the DOSBOX version
>doesnt require manually modifying a config file to change things
There is no reason to change the config file since the default Blood is already the perfect 10/10 game. Every change would only make it worse.

Also the Bloodwiki admits that Bloodgdx has an inaccurate colour palette which is an absolute no-go.

Do you really need a list? There's a niche wolf simulation game simply titled
"Wolf." As far as I'm aware, there is no port or reverse engineering of it. Yes, lots of FPS games have tons of ports, but there are tons of niche things which don't. Please attempt to make higher quality posts in the future.

Dosbox is an emulator for people who are too lazy or stupid to setup their own PCem/86box DOS6.2/Win3.11 VM. It handles most things alright, but there's still a number of DOS and Win3.x games that just don't work right with it.

One of the games I use dosbox for.
It also might be in my top 3 games of all time, and I didn't even play it until 2011.
Warcraft 3 custom games were just too good so it can't get to #1.

I've also played warcraft 1, 2 and warlords 2 through dosbox, but I don't think I have to play wc1 and 2 through dosbox. It was just more convenient that way.

People talk about playing video games as they were "intended" on CRT monitors.

Well, with PCem you can play video games as they were intended using the right CPU speeds. On a 486 machine, you can actually make out animations and other details that would just fly by in a port.

A lot of time questions like that are being asked by commercial entities trying to use Dosbox as a drop in solution for their lath, POS system, CNC machine, etc, etc. In the past they've had to push back on IT departments pressuring them for features and support when it was never designed to be in a production environment.
Besides, DOSBox-X DOES actively support these things.

It's not even a port. Ultima VII was spread over eight 1.2 MB high density floppies and the games files were compressed on the disks. An actual install was around 25 MB.

The largest super Nintendo carts, on the other hand, were Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean which used special chips to uncompress data on the fly. Star Ocean is still only ~10 MB uncompressed.

There's no way to fit Ultima VII on a SNES cart even if Nintendo weren't babies about blood. It's a dumb spin-off, nothing more.

The PC code is probably more bloated than SNES code though. For one thing, it would have been written in C++ while SNES games are usually assembly language. Another thing to consider is that the PC would have used full 32-bit 386 code which also takes more space than the 16-bit code on the SNES.

The code is not even remotely the largest part of Ultima VII. Also, the game used an unconventional memory manager and took advantage of undocumented behavior in the 286 and 386 processors (unreal mode). It's unlikely that C++ was used as no toolchain supported the Voodoo Memory Manager.

There are a lot of a weird hacky tricks you could do on x86 CPUs including the high memory trick used to access 64k of extended memory from real mode. Windows 3.x also used a hax trick to put the CPU back into real mode when you exited out of it since it was designed for a 286 which normally didn't provide any provisions for that (induce deliberate segment fault and the CPU will fall back into real mode).

Most? Most games work on DOSBox default setting. Other games get ignored because unpopular. Even for those that do get ports, they have worse performance than DOSBox, which has low sys req, and works on any Windows OS from Win 98 onwards. e.g. SDL port of Blake Stone is a resource hog for no damn reason.

Back in 88, some company hired a programmer to write them a DOS program to run their packing machinery from 1982 over a RS232 port. Worked fucking great. 10 years later, they haven't seen as much profit as they thought they would, and it's time to upgrade. They run out, buy the cheapest machine they can, then try to shove the program on there. Doesn't work. They hire someone to come in and make it work. It works now. So now they are using some program made back in 88 on a PC from 98 to run hardware they bought back in 82. Come 2008, in order to upgrade from here they would need to buy a new machine, new computer, then new software to run that machine. That ain't gonna happen. Instead the head IT guy will get tasked with creating a working DOS environment on modern hardware.

This happens across all industries. This is why 6502's, Z80's, and 68000's are still being manufactured and used by the "embedded" crowd. Hell, fucking Weather Channel was using SGI Indy machines to do their overlays and graphics up until about 2010 or so. Amiga's with Video Toaster were still in widespread use by TV stations and movie studios in the 90's, despite being painfully outdated by then.

It gets worse when you bring in specialized hardware. I did some work for a college once, they had some high-tech bio lab setup. Four of the computers were WinXP machines running on old Core 2 Duo's, since the software they used for the special machines they had only had drivers for WinXP and older, and newer machines don't have drivers for anything besides Win10. The IT department actually had to keep a reserve of old WinXP machines for when one went down. The company that made the hardware and software apparently doesn't even exist anymore, and the college didn't want to re-do the entire program to remove the machines, or spend tons of money on new machines and software.

The 5.25" disk was developed by Shugart in 1976 to cater to the nascent microcomputer industry as 8" drives were too unwieldy and expensive. That said, I'm very certain that when Kennedy was president, the only storage methods in use were magnetic tapes.

>>5258219
The aspect ratio is correct for a VGA monitor. If you had used a real EGA card and monitor, it would be 4:3. Since this game came out in the 90s however, it was probably written and tested on a machine with VGA and almost everyone who played it same.

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 30 14:32:51 2018 No.5258362 Not many people had the 350 line EGA monitors in the 80s, they were expensive and only supported by business software. Usually you just used them with a 200 line CGA monitor.

Anonymous Sun Dec 30 15:04:43 2018 No.5258437

Someone on VCFED tested one of the Commander Keen games with a real EGA card and it produced a screen full of garbage. He found out that the game expected 256k of video memory. Since like EGA Trek, the Keen games were released in the 90s, I doubt John Carmack ever tested them on a real EGA card.

The other thing they found out is that VGA cards are _much_ faster than EGA and the game ran at a snail's pace.

Here's an example of EGA Mode F on a real monitor at 4:3 aspect ratio. This is actually an IBM 7534 which is an industrial model monitor built to much higher specs than the 5154 (which was also not known for its outstanding reliability).

I encountered a C64 in its original box a few months ago and I wanted it for myself, but wasn't sure it would work or not (with breadbin C64s it's always iffy). So I went on /g/ and mentioned it and said if anyone in my area was interested and would like to go and get the thing. Some guy claimed he would check it out, so I don't know whatever did happen, but I went back a few days later and it was gone.

If I found it a home, then I'm satisfied. :^)
