Title: I need some help
Post by: Commander Maxillius on February 16, 2005, 10:06:13 pm

I just downloaded Bochs windows emulator, but it seems that I need Unix skills in order to get it to work.  Trouble is, I don't have any, so I have a Windows emulator and I don't know how to make it work.

Soo, I need some Unix skills!!  At least basic instruction to get cool stuff to work.  I've got SFC withdrawls!!!!!!!
