Just finished uploading 13 videos (many contain several short videos) and I put them all in a playlist.

I'm a big fan of GOG.com and DOSBox. However many games come pre-set with non-optimal settings and this is what this tutorial is for.

It explains the ins-and outs of DOSBox, explaining all the main settings and comes with plenty of video and sound footage as examples.

The main topics:

- How to install a Game from GOG.com
- How to run a Game that you have installed
- Where to look for help and support if a game doesn't run
- (Not) using the Graphics Mode Setup Utility
- Finding the DOSBox config file for each game
- Tweaking the graphics settings so that the game fills the max. area of the screen AND has the correct aspect ratio
- Detailed explanation of the opengl, openglnb and ddraw output modes
- Tweaking the sample rates for optimal audio
- Accessing the SETUP or INSTALL programs of many games in order to change the default Sound Card
- Running games in Tandy or PCJr mode for 3 Voice sound
- Tweaking the speed settings of DOSBox to slow-down or speed-up games
- An overview of Roland MIDI Sound Modules
- Connecting a MT-32 or Sound Canvas using a USB MIDI cable
- Configuring DOSBox to use the USB MIDI cable
- Workaround for missing INSTALL.EXE for Sierra games
- Configuring the Windows mixer in order to use Roland MIDI modules
- Installing BASSMIDI driver and loading sountfonts for better General MIDI music

The videos are quite raw / on-the-fly but I hope the information comes across. I hope it is helpful and avoids someone getting frustrated or giving up on GOG.com or DOSBox.

I know GOG.com games aren't perfect but I am just happy that we are able to purchase these classics legally and with minimal fuss.

Let me know what you think and post some comments!

+1 rep for you .
But first fix your link .

OOOoops :)

Fixed!

I've only watched a few seconds, but the concept looks good! Hopefully this will get stickied or promoted somehow. :)

Awesome! I downloaded these through YTD so I've them for offline keep in case I ever lose internet when I want to bust open a classic or two. :)

Many of the things in the tutorial get asked again and again. I am really hoping people out there find it useful :)

In fact, after installation, I take the games files and put in a personal DosBox collection, where I configure DosBox myself.

Yes that makes a lot of sense for large collections! I also built a USB stick with D-Fend Reloaded and all my DOSBox games on it. I will definitely make a tutorial on this in the future.

But for starters I want to help those who might be intimidated by DOS and config files but have a passion for games.

Very nice videos, +1.

Very helpful videos, great job

Excellent idea! +1 rep!

Very cool.

I just use D-Fend Reloaded myself. For ALL my GOGs.

Watched the first 3 so far, and while you do a very good job, you didn't mention anything about UAC and Program Files installations. Easiest way to fix 90% of the "Run as Administrator" problems is solved by installing it in another folder. While I would have included that in the "Installing a game", you could also mention it at the "Troubleshooting a game" video.
Good work so far though, will continue watching it.

Added this to the sticky.

Good tip! I will try to include it somehow...
