Nods, indeed. Microsoft lately has said how these are highly restricted as it is made for beginners and a more advanced OS will be made for those that know what they are doing. Then that latter one is never made...

Indeed we did. My XP got constant blue screens, crashes, instabilities. It wasn't until 7 that I got a computer environment where I didn't have to be afraid of the computer blowing up on me. 8.1 is even better.

Nods, and thus why I can change my PCem resolution to more of the options than DOSBox. But, oddly enough, it maxes out at 800x600 when I have a higher resolution set (and that is severely laggy like Daum). The only thing that doesn't give me lag on higher options would be normal DOSBox, but then my recorder doesn't work with it...

Daum really does. I have no idea why I cannot get Enhanced Edition DOSBox with Direct3d to be recognized, but Direct3d in Daum works perfectly fine. Sadly, Daum stopped updating in 2014 and is known to be broken in "dynamic" cores, meaning it crashes on startup. It probably is also broken in general in regards to cycles. I could really use a svn like Daum, except that it is being updated to the latest svns. I just don't know where to find one. Enhanced Edition also tends to have a massive delay upon closing and starting up, while Daum just works beyond these core issues.

Audio CDs...DOSBox... I can't wait to be done with this all just so things work. OpenGL, Direct3d, forget the older stuff exists. I can accept tinkering, but I expect an actual solution to the problem, not just a bunch of dead ends like I keep getting. I could always record in a window, but I really don't want to do that as it would kill the gameplay experience for me.

Yeah, I doubted you bothered. It isn't something you generally go out and do. All I have learned is that I have zero idea and the internet leads to more questions than answers.

I am either really terrible at finding solutions, or the internet isn't the resource to finding all information that it is praised to be. Really, the best solution seems to be just to handle things in the way I am handling them, in a 300x200 window. If I keep going, I shall soon hit GLQuake anyway, I just need to close out 1996. A lower resolution isn't the end of the world.

Truthfully, DOS is a dying breed for me, something I shall be moving on from and using source ports when I reach it. PCem on the other hand... I would like to figure that out, if only to ensure I don't run into any issues if I run into 16 bit programs. I need to get Windows 98 set up at some point, just to test my Korean fishing game and see if it can actually function in PCem.
