<p>KarenN: /* VGA compatiblity */</p> <hr /> <div>==Windows==<br /> Please clarify that under Windows, the configuration file is searched for in the following order:<br /> # as specified by the -conf startup option if any.<br /> # dosbox.conf, if it exists in the current working directory <br /> # dosbox.conf in the program binary directory<br /> &lt;small&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;autosigned&quot;&gt;—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jdmarch|Jdmarch]] ([[User talk:Jdmarch|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jdmarch|contribs]]) 00:26, 5 June 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> :As of 0.73, 2 new steps were added:<br /> :# As specified by a -conf command line parameter<br /> :# dosbox.conf, if it exists in the current working folder<br /> :# dosbox-version.conf, if it exists in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\DOSBox\<br /> :# As last resort, it creates it on the spot in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\DOSBox\ and then uses it<br /> :-[[User:Lwc|Lwc]] 22:49, 28 May 2009 (UTC) <br /> <br /> ::The 0.73 order is the correct order.<br /> ::for older versions it didn't look specifically in the program binary directory. That one just happened to be the same as the working/startup directory. [[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 19:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Command Window compatibility== <br /> 1. Good password for logging in, thanks. I tracked the wikibandits years ago.<br /> ( try Rot-13 as a joke maybe )<br /> <br /> 2. When I was using the first VGA adapters,<br /> I noticed that it had two more video modes that you could access from the command line mode command:<br /> <br /> A. a 43-80 character mode, and a 50x80 mode, and<br /> B. Eventually they added a 43x132 mode.<br /> <br /> These were accessed by typing the mode con: ( for console configuration ) Lines=50.<br /> This works in the command promopt of All versions of windows. ALL,<br /> and worked as far back as the PS2/50, and the IBM VGA adapter:<br /> <br /> More documentation as follows:<br /> <br /> Topic covered in discussion:<br /> http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=27665<br /> <br /> So, Ill reply there... and THANKS! for a great program. excessively compatible.</div>
