I've set up Megarace with Dosbox, it works pretty well, however, the 2 places which require text entry just don't respond to the keyboard, which is the highscore table, and more importantly, saving the game! Eg. at the car selection screen I choose the orange button in the middle with the arrow keys …

You will also need to tell dosbox when you change disks, it wont know just by physically changing the disks. That is not the case when mounting with the "-t floppy" switch. DOSBox resets its disk cache automatically for floppy mounts instead of the user having to press Ctrl-F4. Thanks for replying …

I'm running Windows XP and would like to run DosBox and pretend the computer is actually running DOS. Hence I want to have access to my real floppy drive from within DosBox. In my [autoexec] section I have; mount a A:\ -t floppy When I start DosBox, the moment it tries to mount the floppy - with no …

I was struggling with similar problems after getting a video projector, so I had already implemented that auto-framedrop feature. Your idea about forcing a specific refresh rate was interesting, and I was curious about how it would affect games. Implementing it was a fun exercise since it it was …

"Older, wiser, and more mature" person here :) You're in luck as I have the time right now and am in a bit of a mood to impart some lengthy advice. I'm mostly responding to what your first post says, even though it may appear to jump around a bit. The "Just do it" advice is good, but you're looking …

Beleive it or not, I want this on my home made arcade cabinet, and so I need it to be as "hands off" as possible. The game menu is easy to navigate with the arrow keys etc., and those are mapped to the arcade panel's IPAC joystick interface, so that's not a problem. It's those darn setup questions …

Mysteriously, Jill 1 and 3 sound fine. But Jill 2 has digital sounds only, no music. I've watched YouTube videos of it being played, and it has music right from the opening screen! It's so strange - they are configured using "C" on the startup screen, all the same way - Use music track, Use digital …

Thread might be old but looks like a good resource for Lemmings music - thanks for uploading that file leerok! It's also worth mentioning that as well as the standard songs it plays if you play levels consecutively, it has special music for special levels, which will play even if you code-jump there …

Recently bought an old DOS game, DarkLight Conflict, for 65 cents AUD! It needs the CD to run. Runs through XP fine - except stuttery sound and no joystick detected, so I want to use VDM Sound Run with VDM, sounds great, can't test the joystick because when I get to the menu, it starts asking for …

The new DMPI emulation in the latest DosBox (U8 is a DMPI game) needs a 1gig processor for a decent frame rate for a 386-486 game. So I'm sticking with VDM Sound, and just having the sound off. For now. Till my upgrade, or when VDM Sound is updated to work with U8 digital audio. Whichever comes …
