This sounds like some app running in background, thinkink that your system is idle at the moment. Most likely - antivirus software, disk defragmenter, windows internal drive indexing, a shared computing or something. It may also be some memory managemnt app, asking windows to dump active memory to …

in config.sys you should load emm386.exe with some paramethers DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM I=D000-EFFF FRAME=E000 this should do the trick. There has been a discussion on this some moths ago, it may be helpfull. dosbox VCPI emulation and MEGAEM (gm/mt32 sound with gus)

gravis have released their software now (ater gravis closed) for free. However I just want to be able to load patches with loadpats myself, since gravis mt32 emulation ignores patches uploaded to it. And games sound strange because that think thay put their patch, but the one that is actually been …

Hi, i want to extract patched from sysex dumps (these are the patches that games or programs put in). Could you suggest a program that would to that and extract them to some acceptable format. I also want to know the instument number they were uploaded to. I want to convert these patches to GUS …

Well, yes a distribution issue actually. I'm with suse now. 10 years ago slackware had only 3 virtual consoles by default.

IMHO the info should not be in a file which is hard to find. Better be in the manpage (well it is technically a file also), but the man i usually the fist place to look at. CTRL-ALT-FX are always reserved by the X server/virtual consoles so I believe the configure should detect linux/unix and change …

Thanks, me stupid. I just expected to see it on the man or on the info page, then on the faqs, forum posts, not in a file. BTW althoug i configured with --prefix=/usr docs did not get installed on my system in /usr/share/doc/dosbox as stated in tha man.

Hi I may be totally dump but was unable to find the replacement for the CTRL-ALT-FX shortcuts in linux, for example CTRL-ALT-F5 is capture to video, but in linux these type of shortcuts are reserved for other things. I've tryed CTRL-ALT-5 and CTRL-SHIFT-F5, even CTRL-ALT-ESC-5 but neither was with …

Since the game is VESA I would suggest getting used to QEMU. It is a pc virtualizer/emulator, and in some cases runs better than DOSBOX, but you need a bunch of things like disk images and installing a real os. Not too much work - 30-40 minutes from download to useful state. Also - install dosidle …

Many thanks, it's runnig fine now 😀 In realdos (6.22) megaem sees ems memory, so I suspect the dos implementation of dosbox is not fully complete yet 😀 Also extender games not compainig for procesor mode (exatly that way it was with real hardware). Only having an image is a minor discomfort.

Megaem works to the extend where it cannot find ems and loads in conventional (it finds vcpi services and no ems). In fact no other program (beside the ems manger and dos's mem) cannot see there is EMS mem.

Using device.com to load microsofts emm386.exe with noframe. It happuly says: emm386 successfully installed. available expanded memory 7104kb lim/ems version 4.0 total expanded memory pages 486 available expanded memory pages 444 total handles 64 active handles 1 page frame segment NONE total upper …

ms dos FRAME=e000 is ok or M9 is the same, however it allows runnig without frame with NOFRAME, and when running EMM386 it says everything is fine and it provides ems ram and services, but dosbox's mem does not see it ems. Also megaem does not see ems memory but sees vcpi and is happy. Problem is …

Did all three things but when trying to run megaem "Exit to error: IRET from pmode to v86 with CPL!=0" in dynamic, normal and full core (if it there is full now, but dosbox is not complaining) Also other things seem to be broken (like that parlap extender, with error "Paging requested without PE …

Yes, on linux I've build from cources (0.70 stable) myself, but was unable to find any configure switch to enable or disable support. And it does not provide vcpi (to megaem). I cannot find any refence to VCPI except in files ChangeLog, NEWS and src/ints/ems.cpp which look fine and I cannot seem to …

Last couple of days, after 0.70 was released I've been trying everything I could think of to make megaem work. I need a gm/mt32 emulation, with virtualy zero cpu consumption. 0.70 works like a charm in general - 10k cycles with 44100 hz on all sound mixers, super2xsai, and no frameskip is using just …

IMHO the best card for pure dos, on ISA systems is WD90C30 (wonderfull drivers - can turn the card to cga, herculer, mcga in full hardware mode) with at least 512KB (1MB is better) or later of the same series Western Digital/Paradise. For dos games on PCI systems - some of ATI Wonder series cards …
