The Major BBS Forums

While Microsoft gives you absolutely ZERO warning about this, I recommend you DO NOT install the Power Toys app if you are running Win10-32. It works fine on all my 64-bit Windows computers that I tested it on, but installing it on the Win10-32 VM caused a BSOD. :( Oh well...I'll keep looking for ot...

Yes, this has been a known bug for a while now. The same thing happens whether it's the GALxxx or the ELWxxx versions.

You can use GameSrv (https://www.gamesrv.ca/) which does the same thing. GHost/2 was never finished/released.

Any chance of adding an "always on top" option for the console window? With my single VM setup, DOSBox doors will open in normal windows on top of the console and suck up system resources unnecessarily. If I pull the console back to the front manually, the problem is solved. Would love to ...

And it's a real pain in the ass trying to get a modern version of Windows to open those files. You'll likely end up with a virus if yo...

If you downloaded a ZIP containing a bunch of files, but not a SETUP.EXE, then it's likely the extracted files from the old installer. In that case, you just copy all of those files into your BBSV10 directory and add MajorMUD to your menu tree. If you have the actual old installer with a setup.exe f...
