If it wasn’t for GoodOldGames.com, I would never, ever, have posted this bit of helpful information. Do you want to play Tyrian 2000 through DOSBox on your NetBSD-powered toaster oven? Do you want to run it from that USB port you just had installed in your arm? If so, please, follow me, I’ll enter the third door to the right.
Now, on my desktop, it runs swimmingly in DOSBox, and it does okay on my netbook, unless I play in hard, with this setup. It’s quite simple, without a frontend in Linux, using WINE for some initial setup, but allowing you to dispose of anything you don’t want.
The first thing you’ll have to do is download Tyrian 2000. I recommend getting it from GoodOldGames.com.
If you have Windows, just run the installer, and it’ll work. If you have Linux, install it via WINE, and copy the ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/Tyrian 2000 directory into a folder of your choosing, and remove all the DOSBox files from it.
Nov 28, 2017 Install Windows 2000 In Dosbox Fullscreen' title='Install Windows 2000 In Dosbox Fullscreen' /Parmetros de la Lnea de Comandos. Guide: installing Windows 95 on DOSBox. This guide is for those who want to get Windows 95 working on DOSBox but don't want to go through the trouble of looking up all the scattered pieces of information that need to be known. It took me a bit of fiddling around, but it turns out it's actually quite easy. Free download page for Project DOSBox's DOSBox0.74-win32-installer.exe.DOSBox emulates a full x86 pc with sound and DOS. Its main use is to run old DOS games on platforms which don't have DOS (Windows 7 / Windows Vista / Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Linux / FreeBSD. A frontend for DOSBox is a program that lets you configure DOSBox and start games with DOSBox within a grapical user interface (GUI) that runs on Windows. You can also maintain a list of your favorite DOS games and start them with a simple mouse click! We have reviewed a lot of these programs and two were selected. In 1995 I purchased the LINKS 386 PRO MS-DOS Version produced by ACCESS SOFTWARE INC. It is a computer GOLF program designed to be played on a computer. My question is can I install this program on my Dell Latitude E6530 Laptop computer with Windows OS 7? I have plenty of memory and hard disk capacity.
The simple part here is acknowledging all of the .EXEs in the folder. There is a Graphic Mode.exe which is a Windows binary, for setting up DOSBox, that can be deleted (it changes a graphics setting in your .conf for graphics settings). What we need to pay attention to are “tyrian.exe” and “setup.exe”. tyrian.exe is the game’s executable, and setup.exe is the setup program to change the settings, and enable proper sound.
I have a conf whipped up here: http://www.truimagz.com/host/poguemahon/confs/t2kconf.zip
Only pay attention the [autoexec] section of it.
mount C “~/DOSBox/Tyrian2000”
C:
cd TYRIAN~1
TYRIAN.EXE
exit
I have a directory ~/DOSBox, where I store everything. I put my game’s folder in yet another to make an independent C drive for each, so that I don’t mess up any other games if I mess up one. So, change my directory to where Tyrian/Tyrian 2000 resides on your harddrive. The rest is simple. It cds into C:, and then the Tyrian 2000 directory (dosbox uses “~1” in place of spaces and everything after). It then loads the .EXE, and then exits when Tyrian is closed.
To get the setup application, change “TYRIAN.EXE” to “SETUP.EXE” in a new .conf file (I named mine “t2k_setup.conf”). I recommend running the setup program first, so run “dosbox -conf /path/to/t2k_setup.conf” and change the MUSIC setting to FM SOUND. The music should start up. If it isn’t there already, also change the “Sound Effects” setting to “SoundBlaster,” then navigate to “Exit and Save.” Once done, launch Tyrian with “dosbox -conf /path/to/t2k.conf” and play with full music and sound!
If there is something I didn’t make clear enough, please, feel free to post any questions regarding this. The sound issue is merely a problem in Tyrian’s default settings.
Windows 2000 was a modernization of Windows NT 4.0 which brought many of the desktop changes, including Active Desktop, to Microsoft's Windows NT line. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released, Professional, Server, Advanced Server, Datacenter Server. Improvements over NT 4.0 include new Accessibility Options, increased language and locale support, NTFS 3.0, the Encrypting File System and Active Directory. Windows 2000 was first planned to replace both Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 although using the NT kernel for consumer and professional editions would not happen until Windows 2000's successor, Windows XP.

Release notes
The final RTM build of Windows 2000 is 5.0.2195 which arrived with new NTFS 3.0 support, an on-the-fly Encrypting File System, new Accessibility tools and the Active Desktop, additional language and locale settings. Dynamic disks were introduced as well which allowed Windows to join disks together in a software RAID array. Plug-and-play support was improved compared to Windows NT 4.0.

One noticeable fact right off the bat is that features from Windows 98 have made it into the Windows NT line, like the Active Desktop update, Internet Explorer 5, Windows Driver Model, Internet Connection Sharing, Windows Media Player and WebDAV support. Windows File Protection also arrived with 2000 which protected critical system files by not allowing anything other than Microsoft's Windows Installer or Windows Update package installer modify system files. The System File Checker utility allowed users to preform a manual scan of protected system files (and optionally repair them). Windows 2000 also supported ACPI S4 hibernation, which unlike Windows 98, does not require specific vendor drivers.
For system management Windows 2000 introduced the Microsoft Management Console and a vast majority of system administration tools from Windows NT 4.0 were moved to MMC 'snap-ins'. This includes the the Event Viewer, Task Scheduler, COM+ management, group policy configuration, disk defragmenter, device manager, service control, and if installed, .NET Framework. Two versions of the registry editor exist in Windows 2000. The classic MDI-style editor capable of manipulating Windows NT permissions exists as regedt32.exe and the Windows 98 registry editor exists as regedit.exe. This is a straight port and is incapable of editing a remote registry or changing permissions. This was later updated in Windows XP. A new recovery console was introduced which can be launched from the CD-ROM (or optionally installed to disk and made available through NTLDR by running WinNT32.exe /cmdcons in Windows). This is a text-mode Windows NT (and not MS-DOS as it may look) environment. Most of what is built into cmd.exe, along with a set of NT native mode utilities may be launched from the recovery console.
Features on the fun consumer side (or further brought over from 98) is support for DirectX 7.0, which is able to be upgraded up to DirectX 9.0c (Shader 3.0) with support remaining in DirectX up to the June 2010 SDK. Windows 2000 included no new stock games, including only FreeCell, Minesweeper, Pinball and Solitaire. Windows 2000 included the Accessibility tools (which NT 4.0 did not) and also included some new tools. Ported over was StickyKeys, FilterKeys, ToggleKeys, SoundSentry, MouseKeys, high contrast themes, and Magnifier. Windows 2000 introduced the Narrator, which reads aloud GUI objects with the Speech API, and an on screen keyboard which works with mouse or joystick. Windows 2000 introduced a multilingual user interface and can support Arabic, Armenian, Baltic, Central European, Cyrillic, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Indic, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkic, Vietnamese and Western European languages. Numerous locale settings are supported.
