I am 60 today, and I still grin like a teen whilst playing my retro emulation, devices. I have seen, played and owned so many computers, consoles, handhelds etc, but I could have only dreamed in the 80s & 90s of pulling a handeld such as Miyoo Mini Plus from your pocket and have thousands of retro games to play in an instant. The main reasons that I love your channel is the humour and the way you capture what most of us feel today, about yesterday's games. Keep up the great work Dweeb. 👍 👌😊
Happy Birthday Steve!
Right on! Happy birthday! 🎉
Happy birthday bud!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday
My parents believed console games rotted your brains and computers were educational, so I was raised on wholesome games like Civ, SimCity, the Sierra Quest games.... and Wolfenstein, Doom, Alone in the Dark, etc. Just the really educational stuff.
Sierra Quest 😊 so many good memories
I learned what WW2 was like playing Wolfenstein and how to handle demons playing Doom. Got myself a good education.
To be fair there were a lot of educational DOS games. And probably on average the stuff on DOS was more educational than console games.
@@TechDweeb I kept trying to make my Nintendo friends jealous by showing them that I had three PC-exclusive Mario games. Somehow they never seemed to mind.
@@TechDweeb Setting up the sound configuration, in a game that had a bug in the sound configuration program, so that you had to set it incorrectly to make it working. That's the type of edication I got from DOS games.
I am a 40 year old nerdy woman who absolutely loves this. This takes me back to the simple times. I used to pick up old PC games at the flea markets and they were so cheap! Had a blast with a cup of coffee and playing these amazing and beautiful games. Can we all go back now? This world has lost it's damn mind.
Anyway, your videos cheer me up. Thanks TD!
I love your DOS mode. I am going to install this! And get that mini retro PC. Need that! That keyboard is perfection!
I did the same! Flea market games. There was a rack of them. Half of them were just shareware demos but who cares, you could go home with 10 games for $10!
@TechDweeb We really had the time of our lives back then. 💓☕️ Keep making these videos, my friend. You take me back. You have awesome taste. 🫂
OMG! Another nerdy woman! Just like me? ❤️🫂 "Cyber-Hug" for you dear Sista from another Mista..respectfully, if you don't mind bc for me this is like...uhm.."a rare pokémon appeared!" finding secret Mario Levels by yourself or..well..you understand. 🥹 So cool.
@leutnant1010 Hi!! *biggest hugs back* Nerds unite! 💪 We exist out there... somewhere. Haha. I been in love with games and tech since I was born. Retro tech has a place in my Nalstolgic heart. I love going back. Dweeb's vids make me happy. I love them all. 💗 I love games so much, I am also a game developer! I am here for it all. Nice to know there are other women out there nerding out and enjoying Dweeb's vids with me. *high five* 🙌😌
@@GingerAnne I feel exactly the same. Nothing to add. I also loved games since I took my first breath. And 34 years later my passion didn't die out. Collecting Comic Books, getting excited in toy sections in stores, almost had a heart attack when lately somebody told me "I threw away my old nintendo in the trash..you know it's old and I never really used it anyw.." Me:"Nooooooooo!!" (feeling like shouting in SloMo) Imagine that! A Gem in the trash💔 and yes I tried to save it but no chance. The trashman took it already.
A game developer? Wow! You have all my respect, Lady Anne. Fistbump🤜🏼
I'm 40 as well and I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
😢🌧️
@@zach_attakkbeat me to it
It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?
I thought of Drillbit Taylor at first, and then I realized that was a reference to Bladerunner as well lol.
Time... To die.... NOT!
I'm pushing 30, and you've been an inspiration for me starting content creation to share the things I grew up with to the next generation.
Love the videos, my man!
Also, I feel like an old man to this generation, so ima share my old man wisdom best I can.
Keep pushing it, I'm 45 and I'll stop gaming and sleep when I'm gone
We don't deserve creators like you, a full build of DOS, amazing my dude.
Don't be silly. You deserve all the nerdy goodness you can eat.
well, we don't deserve it and we don't have it because he's not sharing it
I'm always really grateful when you do this kind of thing. I would absolutely love to do it myself if I wasn't so short on room because of all the stuff I've already done, much of it because you showed us how. Rock on!
Bring DOS to us my good friend. I mostly go for the Nostalgia stuff now. Old stuff from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. Our childhood was Awesome.😎👍💯
It sure as hell was brother. I feel lucky to have been born in 79 and got to start on the 2600 and now up to ps5 and beyond.
I’m closing in on 60, Mr. Dweeb. You ain’t met old yet.
I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of this series. I love the idea of Deeeb_DOS!
Looking forward to this series! I miss the good ol days of DOS and Win 3.11
Great video! The painted monitor is such a cool upgrade.
I'd watch your videos no matter how long they were. All the way, front to back and again and again.
As an old Mac fan, my eye is twitching seeing a Mac Classic with a DOS prompt on it.
As a former graphic designer, I love seeing that everything matches.
I love all the peripherals in this video
❤ do not stop your content it's awesome! I'm a fan, and hopefully, you blow up in whatever space you prefer!
Thanks buddy!
Hi from France! Thank you very much for your work and your super comforting videos.
I always have a great time :)
Omggg, I love this!! The first PC that I played around with was an old 286 that a neighbour had. You brought back so many memories, I love you, dweeb king. ❤️
Also, your monitor makeover looks awesome as heck! I have no idea where you find the energy for all of this, but you're a real inspiration!
Niiice! My first PC was a monochrome 286. That was the start of TechDweeb to be honest.
Thanks buddy, more to come!
@@TechDweeb btw, curiosity-induced question: why didn't you go with a good, old fashioned CRT instead of the LCD?
I'd trade my kingdom for proper, natural scanlines. I even put a subtle scanline effect in my videos but I low-key hate those ones because I can't get them to feel authentic enough. 😄
I remember DOS... Thank you TD for making such interesting videos
Thanks buddy! More to come!
As a DOS gamer when I was young it was wild ! Pretty much my best memories. I played thousand of sharewares.
This is cool. I grew up on the VIC-20 and enjoy my dedicated setup with a full size Commodore keyboard, but with save states and a nice TFT.
Great video series! I started my PC gaming life with DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.11. It wasn't plug and play back then obviously, you had to know how to use a memory manager in order to free up as much conventional memory to run the games in. You also had to manage IRQs, DMAs and I/O ports for various hardware. On top of that, understanding the various commands within DOS to get the most out of it. Most games didn't actually run in Windows back then, so there was plenty to learn for someone just getting into PC gaming. Anyways, looking forward to the rest of this series!
Absolute shout out for featuring Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Great game!
Loved it…
YES! Such a great game. Love the point & click games from that era.
This and Monkey Island stole hours of any free time I may have been graciously given by my parents after homework and before dinner.
Point and click games were revolutionary graphic wise, story wise, and gameplay wise
Amazing! I can't wait for the upcoming videos. 😊
OMG thanks TD this is going to be a sick series
I missed a lot of the DOS era as we were too poor for a PC until Windows 98ish. But now I have a mini 3" ATOM based pc that runs my old favs excellent and sips power doing so.
So grateful that so much of the golden days of PC gaming is now free (shareware).
I've played Indiana Jones: Atlantis many times in my life. It's brutally cryptic at times, but man... I have nothing but great memories (and frustration) with that game!
damn those 2 video descriptions for the next vid has me sold. Great stuff!
Really cool setup, DOS is my favorite retro platform. I'm your age and currently building my own cozy retro corner and got a lot of inspiration from this, can't wait for the sequels.
This got me so hyped. Thanks again Tech Dweeb!!!
Oh man, I love this. I remember playing ROTT with my friend over a 14.4 late at night. “Where arrrrre youuu”?
YES! I did the same. My main modem games were Duke 3D and Starcraft 2. And then someone would call during the game and disconnect us and wreck my streak!
@@TechDweeb Man, those were the days. Yes my friend and I got into level editing with Duke3D and played. Also, endless Warcraft 2. Didn’t you ever do *70, to disable call-waiting?
I neither hate myself nor you. I just enjoy learning about gaming and tech (even if I never played any dos games nor have any history with old-school PC gaming).
Tech info for programmer:
Download pdf file Intel developer manual for 80386/80387 CPU/FPU with instruction set and take look at a table of interrupt numbers based on Ralph Browns Interrup List online html version.
Words cannot describe how excited I am to learn more about Dweeb_DOS! I had just decided that was going to see about putting together a DOS/C64/Amiga emulation machine, but DOS games are what I really grew up on and love.
I can't wait for the next video in this series, thank you so much!
Man, that "I'm 40 and I'm old" thing plus that voice is hilarious.
"If you're old".... damn, none warned about the dangers. I'd like to add the homecomputer scene with notably the Commodore 64 and the Amiga also pushed game development a lot; currently running "exoDOS" on an ~2005 Shuttle XPC, will be interesting to have a look at what the Dweeb has to offer
Started with DOS, played everything i could get my dirty little hands on in the day. It was a blast.
LOL, when new PC's were coming out we used to sit there comparing how fast they could list the HDD content using the DIR command.... good times.
Great channel MrDweeb, Love your setup!.
Such a nostalgia trip, thanks !
I feel spoiled already! 😂
Love the paintjob on that monitor!
My goodness this brings back memories. I may have to try to go this route at some point.
Kindred Spirit. You have some great ideas on display here.

Great first video! Sooo exited about this. If your tutorial is good Im def gonna try this out ❤ looking forward to warcraft 1 and 2, duke nukem 3d, quake... ,commander keen come on!! Thats awesome!
I like that set up it looks cool can’t wait for the next video
Coming VERY soon!
Heroes of might and magic 2 in the thumbnail... Yeah I'm watching!
As another 40 year old dude on death's door, I am super excited for all this. I'm loving this setup. It takes me back to being a little little child sitting on the table at my dad's college while he was drinking coffee and running software on the DOS machines in the lab. Can't wait to try all this out.
That's half the fun of retro games - the memories.
You sir, are brilliant! Thank you!
The intro is so good!
Certain DOS games in the 90's-Y2K era really had such a uniquely interesting design and aesthetic to them.
I got this thing called Exodos that has over 7,000 DOS games on it, tons of old PC magazines, and other stuff. I think you’d love it.
I do love it! I had a bit about exodos and freedos in this video, but I cut them to reduce the length. I'll probably discuss exodos in the next vid when I show how to find games.
I see it's up to version 6, going by what he's selling on Etsy, I'm assuming it needs a 2TB hard drive to hold all the games (Installed/Uncompressed) and the media files.
@@lmcgregoruk Selling on Etsy? I got this for FREE, my guy. I guess it's good if you don't want to make your ISP mad with all the data downloaded.
2 TB sounds about right but you don't have to install EVERY game, they are just all there for your convenience to install at any time. My current exodos directory is taking up a little over 1 TB right now, and I downloaded the ultimate package that has all the manuals, game magazines, newsletters, CD music tracks, etc.
3 days late to this video but damn brotha man if this isn't the cleanest retro DOS looking setup with nostalgia that hits harder than having back pain in your early 20's, I don't know what is!
Damn, are you really 40? keep gaming, Playah.
Absolutely love DOS era gaming to this day!
Always fantastic to see more DOS love.
Can we maybe see your DOS fork added as a core to RetorArch, I think that would be cool
Oh my dos build is just standard dosbox but with my own customizations added (CRT filter, amber monochrome colour scheme, and the file manager apps and extras that I added). You could pretty easily add all this stuff to any dosbox build including the retroarch cores (even on android!)
I saw Duke, Catabyss, and Jazzjack one there 👀 Solid choices! Loved me some Chex Quest as well
I just set up Wing Commander. This video came at the right time.
Listen, man. I don’t know what your channels growth rate is, but I hope it’s really high. The quality and overall vibe of your videos is really impressive. The only downside is it makes me want to buy a bunch of tech that my wife would probably not appreciate. Keep it up!!
Thanks for saying so! And give my apologies to your wallet 🥺
That brings back some real memories - Prince of Persia, Kings Quest(s) and Command and Conquer were some of my favourite games of that era.
Wow man, that's awesome! So many of us forty-year-olds clearly relate. Connected 👍
As an old who did his high school computing in DOS. I love this idea, and going look into setting it on my retro pc ( it’s retro because it was wood grain vinyl on it)
My retro setup is sorely lacking some wood green electronics
I totally love dweebdos. Thank you sir.
Loved this video!! Now I have to dig up an old machine to turn into a dos box..
Thanks buddy! You can run this on any PC, but a can of beige spray paint goes a long way!
I both love you and hate myself. You make this stuff really entertaining and enjoyable for someone who doesn't fully understand it. Lol
Those were the days. When nerds were nerds, and computers were for nerds (only)
0:17 Out of anything you could've put on this recap you put the Adore era Smashing Pumpkins? That's it, I love this channel, first video I've ever seen and I already love this channel
I'm glad someone noticed that :P
@@TechDweeb I was watching the video while doing something else and just caught it with my peripheral vision, that's how ingrained that image is in my brain lol, loved that inclusion
2:39 ... that is what good grandpas are doing 😄
This is so awesome. I have some parts kicking around to build a socket 775 PC. I never did, because it would be so underpowered by today's standards, but this project would be perfect. I bet you could fit a ton of games on a 500 GB hard drive.
BTW if that crack in your monitor bothers you, just sand the area so it is a little rough, then apply some JB Weld plastic weld that comes in a putty form. Apply it, let it dry overnight, sand it, and paint it. You won't even know there was a crack at all. Great series, thanks!
So awesome!
The first 10 seconds was the funniest thing I've heard in weeks.
The intro is gold.
Another very successful project, congratulations . Thanks to you, many people got inspiration, I'm going to configure my system for retro games, and indie games. However, in this case I'm going to use Linux, because this is the system I use every day. BWT my favorite childhood DOS game is Simon the Sorcerer 2. I remember this game the most, apart from that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis are great too.
Loving the thumbnail. I love Heroes of Might and Magic so much
Same!
Yes, exactly what I have been looking for.
Bring on the next video and tell me of a way I can play pc retro games without a setup like this please.
The orange command prompt reminds me of the Apple][ my school had. Makes me want to play Aztec again.
I've been looking forward to this! Always happy to see some LucasArts adventures like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on my favorite channels. Btw, would totally watch an hour long TechDweeb vid
Not quite ready yet, but if you're impatient, here's a link to the current DWB_DOS. I still want to add a readme and some easy to toggle options, but if you wanted to try it out this build is working and has a few full abandonware games ready to rock.
bit.ly/3Jqkqys
I really hope you do a video about what joysticks/flight controls work well with DOS games! I miss playing Top Gun: Fire At Will and X-Wing vs Tie Fighter with my old Thurstmaster and would love to be able to play the campaigns for these again.
Oh pretty much any joystick will work well. The emulation takes care of the compatibility. As long as it's recognized by windows with modern drivers you'll probably have no issues just setting up the joystick the way you would in DOS normally.
I'd def watch an hour long Dweeb video! 👀👀
I would too. But he was smart to keep it as a series. I think the majority of TH-cam viewers like TH-cam for its shorter videos.
Cool and nice idea as good job
good job on that monitor! I really hope someone will rip out some of those OLED Laptop 4:3 screens and put it in an old Monitor case... But this would also work for me
I'm totes excited
I have a similar DOS setup with a lot of the same peripherals, especially the amazing 8BitDo keyboard.
There's a company called Checkmate that makes retro-style PC cases that support modern components. They're pretty pricey but the build quality is very solid and the power button is configured with safe shutdown so that it functions like old school PC cases. I did a sleeper mini-ITX build in one for my DOS setup (though I also have that Aya Neo mini PC and it is a great budget option). They also recently did a Kickstarter for a retro-looking monitor that I can't wait to get my hands on.
For games, I highly recommend Exodos for new users. It has basically every dos game ever made and runs in Launchbox.
Good work.❤
This is really awesome 😢
I'm almost 44. I loved the Simcity games, Conan the Cimmerian, Wolfenstein, Doom, Age of Empires II, etcetera. Now, I love the emulators for classic systems.
Now I want to see your list of recomended dos games
I mean too cool a concept and thumbnail to not click immediately? I am here so yes.
Too freakin cool!
Dawn of time DOS I’ve seen all from 1980-Now what a life
Me @40 when I was freelancing: I'm not old.
Me @40 working 9to5 and interacting with 20 yr olds: God I'm old!
Subs are picking up, my friend!
Yes! I'm blown away at how fast they're coming now. I feel very lucky :)
Amazing build.
I had so much fun making this. I'm surrounded by gaming PCs and yet here I am playing Heroes of Might and Magic 2 :P
@TechDweeb Yeah, I can tell this took hours to put together, and it's really a labor of love. The dweeb in me is super jelly. I'm definitely going to follow this to see how to do it myself. Thanks for sharing this, and I look forward to the rest of the series.
I've had an old Dell Netbook from 2009 kicking around my house without a purpose. I think it just found it. Also, some of us WISH we were as young as 40.
It's the 1st one of an incredible serie 🤩 !
you got skills oldman, thanks for sharing your images dweebie
Appreciate you watchin'
I love Warcraft 2, HoMM 2 and SimCity 2000. My best memories of DOS were using ARJ to compact files. I had the command lines written behind a picture on my wall 😂
This is a great, and well thought out build. It is extremely inspiring.
I wonder if there could be a way to integrate some 3.5 floppy disks for loading games.
42 and rolling ... yeah man good old DOS games!
More to come!
hiding the cables behind a goomba is hilarious definitely better than just using straps
This video brings be back to the old days when I used to buy PC games from compUSA. I miss those days. :(
I can see doing this one day, granted my 1st PC had Windows 95. Granted I booted into dos and made some room in the Windows directory to free up some space (week 2 of having it) and then was stuck in Dos-Land for a little while! I am doing a similar thing with the Atari 400 mini hooked up to a monitor with a keyboard and a usb stick loaded up. Lots of games I have never heard of before!
I would love to see a video where you gut the Nintendo Mouse and put the guts of a quality mouse inside it with it's own scroll wheel.
Started out with a Commodore PC10-III XT.
At 45,I still enjoy DOS games more than the modern stuff.
I have Dosbox running on my main PC, even with an MT32,Roland SC-88 and a Yamaha MU80 but I much more prefer to play it on the hardware from back then.
Damn these were good days!
I feel that the "authentic DOS experience" would involve a lot of time spent crafting boot disks to get the precise combo of drivers and extended/expanded memory needed for your specific game...
Haha true! Not to mention the waiting. Lots and lots of waiting.
