Re: CVS build on Mac OS X

Posted on 2008-04-21, 13:01

Many thanks to everybody, who replied to my posts. Again, the idea of my original post was, to notify the dosbox developers that there are some problems with the CVS build of dosbox and Mac OS X, so that there is a chance to iron that out before the next stable release. My posts were not meant to be …

You should probably take the time to run "config -writeconf" from within DOSBox and examine the new file format and adjusting it appropriately. Many thanks for your response. I checked the output of "config -writeconf" and the syntax does not deviate from my config file. I replaced my config file …

CVS build on Mac OS X

Some few month ago I had to use DOSBox a lot for a special project. At that time direct serial modem support did not work out of the (dos)box and I need to enable it by compiling it myself from CVS sources. Sometimes later, DOSBox 0.72 was released and it came with modem support for Mac OS X enabled …

Re: DOSBOX - Help! I'm getting framing errors

I have tired to change the CPU cycles from 1000 to 4000 and no changes...same errors. Is there any reason why you want to stick with that low number of cycles? Hal suggested already to use 10000. If you are using a recent PC, then you can easily use: core=dynamic cycles=30000 If you need to stick …

Have also a look in the Dashbord & Exposé Settings, those also used to occupy F-Keys. The mapper as suggested by wd helps only to map F10 to another function key. For example you can map F6 to have the function of F10 within dosbox. This would be of course only useful for you if there is an unused …

IIGS_User im Klimawandel! You have to find out the device name of your modem. For this open as an admin user the Terminal.app and enter the following: ls -l /dev/cu* This will list all devices (3 or 4) which starts with cu. Change the device name to cu.something in the serial setup in your DOSBox …

Hal, "Compiling from source" sounds more difficult than it is. Providing a stand alone binary package would mean a lot of work for me, because, I need to prepare an .app-package which includes all the dependent libraries. Possibly we can meet in the middle. If you would be able to install Apples …

Hal, Directserial (modem) support is deactivated in the current distribution of DOSBox for Mac OS X. I compiled for my own use a DOSBox with activated directserial support, and I reported success in the forum: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=16377 Do you think, you will be able to compile …

You might want to create the file DOSBox Preferences yourself. Use the app TextEdit for it, which you will find in /Applications. Save the file in pure text format, not as .rtf. Add the sections that you need, e.g. those as outlined in my previous post. Once you are ready with it, copy it to your …

AFAIK, there was a new keyboard introduced together with the iMac. Do some of the function keys to exhibit a second function as those of the notebook keyboards, like screen brightness etc? In this case there might be a key at the lower left end of the keyboard. Then hold this down together with the …

I'm not real technically oriented, but I can follow directions. But I might not purchase the iMac if I can't run my favorite contact manager called TeleMagic on the machine. I currently run it in a dos window in Windows XP. Hal, reading your message again, I finally ask myself, whether it won't be …
