To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I think it's bundled with dosbox, so CTRL+F11 slows down the game.

I will respectfully disagree. If you configure DosBox right, it plays better than the real thing (IMHO). Besides I recompiling the games for a new enviroment (Dos ---> Windows) will introduce new bugs, and would need a LOT of testing.

Personally though if anyone is re-releasing any games to work on Win7 and above OS (when it comes out) it should work or they should provide all of the configuration steps or config files to get it to run on the latest OS. It should never be up to the customer to get the game running on DOSBox. I have used this successfully in the past but it took some tinkering on my part to game games to run right on Win7.

I'm sure a developer (EA) could code something in a day or so to make it happen and add it to the package.
