Penta2 said:A related question: Is there any prospect of seeing MyJEMM for WinXP, so those of us with modern PCs might be able to go back and play games like Strike Commander?
Yeah, myJEMM was a vital solution for getting the games running prior to the latest DOSBox, but it's just another option now. The author of myJEMM said it would have to be rewritten in a new way from scratch to work with XP, and since DOSBox plays Strike Commander and every other game so well, I doubt we will see an update.
Starkey said:I currently use MyJEMM to play Armada (well, since I own a Win98 Pentium 166 I can even play it on pure DOS)...
However, since I´ll need the internet for the online games pure DOS is ruled out.
So, if I understood right, this thing will only work with DOSBox, right? What about MyJEMM?
As Hades said, myJEMM is lacks the IP tunneling that DOSBox has. You also need a significantly more powerful computer for this, since myJEMM was more of a patch and DOSBox is an entire emulator.
FlashFire82 said:this still seems a little rough. I do understand that I'm probably a little low on the power aspect on this computer... but I'm wondering... it only seemed to run choppy pushing keys on the keyboard (i.e. flight control w/ kb was not smooth), the sound I can live with. I wonder if it will operate more smoothly with a joystick? Hm... must start experimenting...
If it's choppy when you move the fighter with a keyboard, it will still be a little choppy with a joystick. There is an improvement, but it does not completely smooth out choppy input related to the power requirements for the emulation.
