I want you to ask sth. If I buy blood from this website, is it somehow better optimalized for Windows?

Yes, the gog version has cutscenes, ingame music and the expansion pack
for me its worth 6 bucks

It's not particularly optimized, you could replicate what GoG has done with your Blood CD, DOSBox and NSIS, you could even tailor your Blood installer to your own liking by including a custom build of DOSBox and BMouse and key bindings. However consider the following:

1. If you buy from GoG, you would be supporting GoG and DRM free gaming.
2. GoG offers future re-downloads at no charge. If you buy Blood from Atari.com, they have an additional fee of $3.95 for an "Extended Download Service" If you role your own you will have to keep track of it or redo it at a later date.
3. You would be sending the message that there is still an interest in Blood. Jason Hall expressed interest recently about doing a new Blood game, but it fell through (most likely due to Atari's bankruptcy).

Ok. How does it work in Windows? Is it as well working through emulator? What fps do you have?

Heh, I don't think that really buying blood from here will increase the probability of Jason's Hall project :)

DOSbox doesn´t run the game perfectly, the framerate drops sometime, it´s an emulator after all. But it does a good job,
Almost perfect in lower resolutions

Any news around the modernized blood port?

Last time I heard, Jason Hall project was turned down by stuff surrounding Atari's bankrupcy.

To do it yourself, you run DOSBox and point it to a directory that has the Blood files and then you run Blood. GoG does the leg work through config files and DOS batch scripting. You can find a writeup of the specifics here: Rolling your own

In addition Styxmaster submitted a few links to custom DOSBox builds and config file settings here and here. Probably not, who knows what will be the fallout of the most recent Atari bankruptcy. He has talked about doing stuff with Blood in a HomeLAN Fed interview back in 2004 and nothing came of it then either. But "hope springs eternal" and all that. I haven't heard anything. But I haven't been hounding after it either.

This is pretty much the same as the original DOS Blood with the CD Audio and cutscenes intact. The only difference is that GOG's download has everything configured to run with DOSBox out of the package.

I still feel sick to my stomach thinking of the canned project and how AMAZING an honest-to-god source port would be. Yeah, yeah. I know. The version we have isn't half bad. And I can still play the game again and again. But being able to play at 1440x900 with Vidcard support, WITH CD audio and the ability to load in mods?

Ugh....

Now I'm upset again...

*pats your back*
We know, man. We know.

I remember that in 2002, I got a price buster CD of this game and that thing worked at something more than 800x600 on a newer LCD display. As far as I remember, and my memory is pretty bad, the mouse wheel also worked.
That was, though, an XP machine that was formatted by a joker.
Try as hard as I do, I cannot get those settings to work on this 8.

Now, my Blood leach is tickling my anus and I am going to try to get all those settings back. BEtngU.

Fixed, thanks for flagging that. Not sure what happened. Adding an extra space between the brackets seemed to fix it, but otherwise the formatting was fine.

I too am struggling to see why I would buy the GOG version. I got the dos version running with BloodGDX, full game with no problems (although no cutescenes).

You dug up a post that is 5 years old and was made before BloodGDX was a thing. Point 3 is still valid IMHO.
