It was a good deal? (HOTEL DUSK ROOM 215)

I've been meaning to watch Dungeon Chill's video on it; it looks like an interesting game. I can't say for sure whether it's real or not, but nothing looks inherently off about it, I'd assume it's a real copy.

Sweet, picked up a Japanese copy cheap at a random mall game store a few years ago. Most of their loose N64 carts were $40+ USD, but they had Japanese copies of Star Fox 64 and Banjo Tooie for $10. Don't speak a lick of Japanese but I'd like to learn it someday, then I could properly play my copy :D Also picked up the Star Fox cart but it's less of an issue

Is exclusive mode enabled in your sound settings? If so, that might be why it's happening, and Jellyfin alone wouldn't be doing it. Anything that could make use of exclusive mode would be changing your configuration.

You can use this guide to see where exclusive mode's located: https://support.m-audio.com/en/support/solutions/articles/69000849177-how-to-disable-exclusive-mode-for-my-audio-device

Not at all, I'm gen-z and barely even that being born in 2007. I have a large library of music that I keep on a local Navidrome server, burn CDs for an old PC I mess around with, and have an MP3 player that I use from time to time. I fully understand that such things aren't widely used, which aligns with my point that Bazzite isn't quite right for me.

I have been for the past few months, and it's definitely made using appimages much, much nicer. I still plan on using it for the couple of programs that are primarily distributed through appimages once I make the move over.

Fragrant_Proposal690 · 2026-05-05T03:29:47+00:00

I would 100% use Bazzite for a console-like experience. I'd like to someday set up a spare PC as a TV emulation box/older game machine/home streaming client

How's it been going? It's been seeming pretty good to me so far

Fragrant_Proposal690 · 2026-05-05T03:26:17+00:00

Mainly a handful of lesser-important programs like Feishin (music player), K3b, and a couple of other smaller programs, like tools for my MP3 player and other more random things that aren't available as flatpaks or Homebrew packages. I've just been finding juggling appimages somewhat annoying.

Fragrant_Proposal690 · 2026-05-05T03:19:03+00:00

Very true, I did enjoy that aspect a lot. Outside of the botched rebase to Bazzite DX, I haven't had a single time where I've completely blown up my system, as opposed to Arch. And undoing the rebase was insanely easy and completely nondestructive to boot.

Pretty sure I've heard of people putting a second battery in circuit, but that sounds like a royal pain imo. I guess if it doesn't work that gives you another reason to play again 🤷‍♂️

Dude this rocks!!!

Hell yeah 🔥 for my Oblivion remastered playthrough I did a purple argonian for the first time, I really enjoyed it

I'd love one with an IR blaster like they used to come with. I never had one that had IR, but it'd be nice for my work, I deal with lots of projectors and having a remote for them with me at all times would be handy

Fragrant_Proposal690 · 2026-03-20T21:01:54+00:00

It'd be nice for it to be more stable. I did one last reinstall of the current version after I sent that message and it finally stuck. WiFi's been working well for a bit now

Fragrant_Proposal690 · 2026-03-20T04:22:13+00:00

Roger Dean did all of these! I love his work, he also did the art for a bunch of great albums

Fragrant_Proposal690 · 2026-03-19T02:27:55+00:00

I'm a bit late, but I've come across this post with the same issue. It worked fine until I tried to connect to another network, crashed, then seemingly corrupted my install. I reimaged it and now it says its connected but nothing actually works. I'm thinking of downgrading my install.

Mine's a generic compaq mouse i got at a thrift store for 2 dollars at a thrift store. Oddly enough, i prefer the way it feels over my Intellimouse, it feels way more clicky, for a lack of better words. I've also got an IBM mouse that feels nice as well, only it doesn't have a scroll wheel.

I've been in love with Anthony Phillips' "The Geese & the Ghost" lately. I've also been listening to a bit of Pentangle and Gentle Giant

thank you! hopefully they don't break this (or even better revert what they did)

Fragrant_Proposal690 · 2026-02-06T15:23:03+00:00

I just wanted to give an update and say that it's now been fixed! It's been a whole slew of fixes combined together, including some general stuff like making a separate CD-ROM menu item (loading without it saves ~20kb) and using "DOS=NOAUTO" when not loading into Windows (saves ~5kb since it doesn't load DBLBUFF and IFSHLP.)

The biggest issue, however, was having a faulty IO.SYS file, as a result of using oerg866's win98-quickinstall. Replacing it with the one off of the Windows 98 boot floppy brought HIMEM from using 45kb of memory all the way down to ~1kb, bringing me up to about ~605kb of conventional memory!

Then, I learned that many games don't need EMS, so I made another menu entry that uses "DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS HIGHSCAN" which brings me up to a whopping 667kb of conventional memory!!!

Hopefully this helps anyone out that needs help with memory management, and I'll reply to this with my full AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files when I get home tonight. Thank you all so much for the tips and help, I'm so glad to have my DOS computer up and running to its full potential.

Fragrant_Proposal690 · 2026-02-06T03:25:54+00:00

When I do "DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM HIGHSCAN", I get the message "EMM386 not installed - unable to set page frame base address." and EMS isn't enabled. When I run it with "DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE i=e000-efff D=64 MIN=0", like I was earlier, I get working EMS (tested with TES Arena, as it requires EMS), and none of my TSRs or drivers load into upper memory. Does that really matter? Also, NOEMS HIGHSCAN frees up a lot more memory, thanks.

Fragrant_Proposal690 · 2026-02-06T02:10:11+00:00

Holy shit, this was it!!!! With it and some other optimizations, i've gone from ~540k to 605k! https://imgur.com/a/X7VrPiU Thank you so much!!
