Thanks to Rob I got the ntvdm64 to work and some of the door games on my bbs
now work, but some of them when i try to play local only show control codes. I
remember there was a program called nansi.sys i used WAY back when to to see
the games locally in ANSI through DOS mode. I think I had to load them in
something called an autoexec.bat file that started when the pc started. Is that
still such a thing and if so, How do i load nansi.sys into the system so i can
see these local graphics? Is there something better than nansi.sys? I just
remember using this a LONG time ago. i can make out a few words in the local
mode but 95 percent is just control code gibberish to my eyes. I was not sure
if nansi.sys could be loaded anymore or not but since i can now run old 16 bit
doors on pc and local i wanted to see some of my favorites local before i put
them on bbs. in particular one called lasso! from T&J software 1995. Any ideas,
thank you.
