Re: Simmconn AWE64 Adapter

Posted on 2021-12-02, 17:50

Got my SIMMConn yesterday. I had some random 32MB SIMMs left so it was a bit of a shot in the dark, but so far I couldn't spot any issues with this SIMM - but I only tested it with Imago Orpheus, only using a fraction of the memory (as it's an AWE64 Value, most tracks previously didn't play properly …

Updated version of the patch, this time as a patch file, against current trunk, and with some small fixes (/OD wasn't sorting correctly, /A-D was missing). Maybe this can be moved to the development/patch forum?

I didn't do a svn checkout so here's a full copy instead of a diff of my modified shell_cmds.cpp, with support for all /O switches (including reverse sorting).

If it really uses that switch it would break because your suggestion is to *ignore* that switch. No. At the moment, all DOSBox returns to the game is "Illegal Switch: /ON". This is written to a file (using something like "DIR /B /ON > foo.txt") and the game expects to find a list of file names in …

I somehow must have stranded in the wrong forum, I guess. I can somehow understand if you don't want to support demos or other applications that are not games, but games ? I am very sure that there are more games than just mine that make use of the /ON switch for the DIR command. It's one damn line …

So either modify your games or modify DOSBox. Those are games that were made aeons ago in a language I don't program in anymore, that doesn't even come with its own directory listing facilities (QBasic), so I will certainly not rewrite all of them. And I have even given instructions on how to …

Did you set the COMSPEC environment variable to point to the 4DOS program? Of course not, I was not told that this would have to be done. Anyway, this seems to be quite an overkill solution as opposed to adding a single line of code to the DOSBox code base, especially since I want to make my old …

Bump... It would be nice if DOSBox would at least scan for valid parameters, even if it doesn't apply them. So for example to make /ON work (which I used in various games back then), one would simply have to add Copy code to clipboard 1 ScanCMDBool(args,"ON"); To shell_cmds.cpp in void DOS_Shell:: …

I just checked this again and even programmed my own version of DIR. However, even this doesn't work because DOSBox apparently interprets "DIR.exe" (when accessing it from the shell) as "DIR .exe", and is thus listing all exe files in the current directory. I wouldn't mind the lack of accepted …

CLI - DIR switches?

Posted on 2008-03-18, 22:08

Hi, I have several apps (old qbasic programs) that use "DIR /B /AD /ON" to get the content of the current directory. however, DOSBox does not support additional DIR parameters. is there any hope those will be included in future versions? I'd really like to run those apps in DOSBox...

I don't know if I was able to fix the XP-Style Problem yet (i modified the source code a bit, but did not upload the changes because many other things are not ready yet), but i think that i will not use the xp style in future version. i want to redesign the whole program and i am currently working …

it seems he has not updated his frontend for a while and i dont know if the problem with different xp-styles are fixed. It's true that I am quite busy these days and i am happy that i found this thread by browsing my site statistics so i can give a statement. as version 0.70 of dosbox was released …
