Hi Thanks for the answers. Bret, if we talk about real hardware with FreeDOS (or even DOS), using your USB drivers. Is there any way to attach an USB gamepad and have some kind of program that maps that USB gamepad as a game port gamepad, so old games that use the gameport can work with a USB

While MKEYB is small, there's a lot of things it doesn't do that the larger KEYB program does that you may find you need or at least be useful. One of them is the manipulation and correct handling of different Code Pages as Aitor indicated. Another one is that MKEYB doesn't report itself

Hi Harry, you do not rename any files with mkeyb, you simply run the command with the name of the layout as the command line option after a space: MKEYB space SG enter :-) I have no experience with modifications of the ISO, but I would expect it to be mainly for install and live CD purposes and

Hi Thomas, You can use FDAPM APMDOS to save energy while there is low CPU load, which is most of the time in DOS. You can use FDAPM SUSPEND or FDAPM STANDBY to put the system in a low power state, if your BIOS does support that. You can use FDAPM SPEEDn with N being a digit from 1 to 8 to

Thank's a lot Eric! 1. Does that mean I could rename MKYB.de to MKYB.ch and replace "Language: de, 858" with "Language: sg, 850" and remaster the ISO? 2. And putting the following line to autoexec.bat (but can only find autoexec.drf and autoexec.dbx in the FD13LGCY.iso) install=MKEYB SG

t might be healthier (?) for the computer to halt it, also in FreeDOS. Bootup time from USB stick is around 10 secs or so, but too long to always switch on and off the machine. I remember there is a power-saver by Eric and others again, maybe this would suffice or do the trick? > On Wed,20210929-
