Guide for Retro Gaming on a modern 0S - (YouTube)

Hi again...

I didn't know where to put this so i just put it in here as my other reviews are in here....

Well this time I thought I would try something a bit different to the normal reviews. I have always planned to address other areas of the adventure game scene and as my YouTube Chan gets a LOT of emails asking how I play these old games in windows vista or win7.. I thought I would do a video talking about scumVM, DosBox and Virtual PC.

Now most you you guys will prob not be into this one I guess as, well you probably all know about DosBox and scumVM and stuff... but you may be interested in it anyways.

This video discusses scumVM + Usage, DosBox + Usage and how to create ISO files from your original disks to use as virtual DVDs in your emulation

Some of our members have used these programs quite successfully while others, like me, hesitate to start fiddling. Hopefully, this will help

Games did used to ship on lots of disks, didn't they?

Thanks A4L!

How long does it take you to actually record one of these?

I dunno... not very long. I just record the games as I play them.. in the case of the tutorial video... i took mabey a 1 or 2 takes .. so lets say 30 mins to do both.. then say.. 1-2 hours to edit... Lets say 2 and 1/2 hours for both of these ones.

Wow! You're fast!
Good speaking voice too.
Do you do something like this professionally?

I was wondering the same thing.

narr. I do a bit of teaching, so i guess the way i present it comes from there.. but that is about it. I use Adobe Premier to edit them.

This is just a great resource. A4L, I'm not so sure you didn't miss your true calling!

Thank you Thank you!!, I have worked a little bit with Dos Box, but still have alot of things to learn, this will be great as I plug along with it
