I am new!
I found this board when I was searching the web for anybody who could explain me how to slow down my pc for playing old dos games. Well, I found nobody who could, but I think this board is gold, so I joined you! I hope I am not the oldest here  I started gaming in 1983 on an Apple ][ and never got rid of this curse *g*  CU |

Hallo?
Are you from Scandinavia? Anyways... WELCOME! (Why do you want to slow down your DOS? Just download DOSBox, and you have complete control over the speed).

@ Tom: No sry
 I tried Abandonloader, but nothing happened when i used that "slow-down-scroll-thingie". I will check this DosBox tool next. Never heard of it *blush* :blink: |

Welcome!
Don't worry, you're not the oldest member (I think that would be Romano - he's about twice your age). Don't worry about not knowing the DosBox programme. It's really useful and if you're still comfortable with DOS then it's a real treat. Typeing instead of clicking - I love it! |

Thanks alot for that link, i just tried it out.
Uhm... i still know DOS, but... I have to figure out how this tool works. I think i like it, though EDIT:  I do not have an american keyboard. This DOSBOX seems to have it as default. Where do I find the backslash? Desperately searching for Mr. Backslash :blink: |

If you have a good (or average) DOS knowledge, you should manage to help yourself by typing INTRO and HELP....
As for the keyboard, the program comes with a mapping utility so that you can customize your own keyboard. Never used it though. For me the backslash is right above the right CTRL key.
