Test Drive- Why can't I gas and turn at the same time?
I got Test Drive working on MSDOS Box. My issue is that you can't accelerate and turn at the same time. When you hold down the up button to accelerate, it does so, but the instant you press the left or right key, it interrupts the up key. I don't remember it originally being that way (of course, it was 1987 and I was seven years old, so...).

Another thing...

And finally, what games NEED to be played on MSDOS Box? Like, I know Test Drive needs it, but what about Doom? Duke Nukem 3d? |

Try changing the keys assigned to the gas and turning. Different keyboards have different combinations of keys that don't work at once.

Thanks. I'll check them out. Also, I downloaded "Car Builder" and every time I try to save something, it says "Disk Full". Am I unable to save stuff using DOSbox? Finally, on Test Drive, when I try to run it with EGA 16 colors, it asks me to insert a disk. Since I don't have a disk, what do I do? |

Thanks
Thanks, you've been a big help.
I DO have another set of problems I've been running into. Now, have some patience with me since it's been about ten years since I've fired up this game, and at the time, there was no real way to go multiplayer (well, there probably was, but nobody told me.) I'm trying to play Duke Nukem 3D as a multiplayer game between my to computers. My desktop is a Dell with Windows XP and my laptop is an HP with Windows 7. I have ATT UVerse, so I have the two computers wired to the router with ethernet cables. I tried connecting the two computers directly to each other. On the back of the desktop, there's a serial connect (multiple pins with the screws on each side, I assume thats what you call a serial cable) that is light blue in color and the icon above where it plugs into (right above the printer cable of the same type of cable) is "IOIIOI" but flipped on it's side. There's a cable that comes out of there, but the other end is an ethernet cable (I assume that's what you call it, it's like the male end of a phone jack but bigger). So, I even tried connecting that to my laptop's port. Same results, no connection. I set the desktop as a "host" and typed "serial1=nullmodem port: 12345" and set ipx=true. Then on the "slave" computer or "guest" (I guess Guest would be a better term, I'm thinking it terms of hydraulics. ) I typed "serial1=nullmodem server: ***:***:**:*** port 12345. (I actually typed in the numbers for my IP address (I googled "What's my IP Address") instead of the asterisks). I started dosbox on the host computer and in the C:\ (since I have it MOUNT automatically), I put in "ipxnet startserver 12345" and hit enter. it says "IPX tunneling utility for DOSBOX IPX tunneling server started" On the guest computer, after I fire up dosbox and after it mounts itself to c:\ I type "ipxnet connect ***:***:**:*** 12345" and it replies "IPX tunneling utility for DosBox IPX Tunneling failed to connect" somethingerother... Either way, it said it isn't connected. What am I doing wrong? Is connecting the two computers through ethernet cables even a viable option? what about through the ATT router? Help me out. My ultimate goal is to paly Duke Nukem 3D or Doom, Doom II, whatever between two different computers in the same room. |

All you need to multiplay D3D: http://eduke32.com/
Doom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_source_ports Take your pick ... My personal favs: Doomsday zDoom Skulltag .... etcetera ............ Also: http://www.doomworld.com/classicdoom/ports/?platform=2 For testdrive: use LAN between PCs, there is a howto in the tutorial section about LAN multiplay in dosbox.

Also, I've been trying to get the original Grand Theft Auto to hook up between the computers. Is there a difference between a serial cable and an ethernet cable? I thought I got close with using an ethernet cable from one computer to the other and setting up a modem game, but the guest computer wants me to dial a specific number. Should I just get a serial cable (the one that looks like a printer cable) and hook the computers up to each other and hope that works? |

First step: be sure networking is OK.
In your case I would say: 1) LAN cable in HP Win7, setup home network. 2) then hook up Dell XP on cable , setup connect to home network. Check if PCs see eachother, as long your LAN isn't correctly setup all efforts to multiplay are futile. Use HP W7 as duke server Use Dell XP as client. (setup a LAN server/client in eduke is self explanatory, follow menus) Be sure eduke is allowed to pass through firewall. LAN = ethernet in your case, do you need that router? (Can block, maybe you need port forwarding? try directly between PCs first if you can) [Edit] Has been a while, checked settings and eduke32 server/client To launch eduke32 server: eduke32 -server (easiest is to create shortcut and adapt command) All options for multiplay will be at your fingertips ( be sure to allow firewall access!!!!) -> Start game To connect client via LAN: eduke32 -connect *server ip* Same, easiest is to create extra shortcut and adapt launch command. Same again: firewall access, if you use a router between PCs maybe you'll have to forward ports (not sure ....., depends, read router manual) [Edit²] Networking OK (Win7 PC) Launching eduke32 server (Win7 PC) Game server launched (Win7 PC) Client connected to eduke32 server from XP PC shake them baby !!!

Just incase you still haven't solved the gas/steering interference problems: maybe your keyboard is ghosting? Try assigning the steering to something higher up on your keyboard than the gas and brakes; a semi-ideal situation would have the gas as Q, the brakes as A, and the steering as the arrow keys or comma and period keys.
