DOSBox says it uses the vesa modes and runs under Windows XP. If this can be used so that you can color cycle and use the color map editor for 1600x1200 images under XP, this would be great. I'm still using Windows 98 and won't go to XP until I can do EVERYTHING in XP that I can do under DOS. Lee Skinner
Hi All,
DOSBox says it uses the vesa modes and runs under Windows XP. If this can be used so that you can color cycle and use the color map editor for 1600x1200 images under XP, this would be great. I'm still using Windows 98 and won't go to XP until I can do EVERYTHING in XP that I can do under DOS.
I just tried DOSBox on my laptop and it works great! My laptop is a Fujitsu-Siemens P4 2.6 GHz HT with 512 MB ram, ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 (max resolution 1280x800), Windows XP Home SP2. Fractint's built-in video modes up to 1024 x 768 work fine and you can use the color map editor and color cycle. Cheers, - Sylvie

Am I correct in remembering that these are the modes for accessing video cards that Fractint uses and that not all current graphics cards implement these modes completely? Or have I 'misremembered myself' (as they said in Watergate)? - Hal Lane (Fellow Windows 98 user) ######################### # hallane@earthlink.net <mailto:hallane@earthlink.net> # #########################

I have not tried it, but I've been informed that DOS Fractint runs fun under DOSBox on Linux. I've also been informed that QEMU is faster. Don't know if there's a QEMU for Windows, though. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
