Thanks... I've been able to determine that the problem does not exist in 0.73 as well... So that narrows it down some. I'm pretty sure it is not CDDA because if I do not mount the CD drive the problem still exists. I'm pretty sure that the CD code is not called when no disc (MSCDEX) is mounted.

I know that 0.72 and 0.74 are older code bases. But I'm just trying to understand from a core point of view what may be the cause of an issue I've noticed with Humans 3. The game is set to use soundblaster 16, 220, 7, 1 and to play CD Audio because the CD contains CDDA. In dosxbox 0.72 after you …

Moving along and back on topic.... :P I got PCJR speed corrected and since I updated the code and have access to machine type of EGA I can run EGA mode (for games like Gauntlet). However I have a similar issue with Gauntlet in EGA mode. It is running too fast. The clock (gamers health) counts down …

ok thanks for the input guys. I was able to figure out where I went wrong when updating the code based on what you told me about how the PCJR works.

ok. Thanks for the response. I suspected that was the case regarding the s3 memory configs. It has just been a long time and I kinda forget some of these things. It's been years since I messed with old DOS games and my S3 video cards. As for the PCJR. It was too fast relative to the speed these …

Been working on updating some dosbox code and I'm having a weird issue where games run to fast when setting the machine type to PCJR. I'm currently updating from some post v0.74 code where the small TLB code was re-worked. I don't have the exact revision number on me at the moment. Does anyone know …

Thanks but that post seems to mostly focus on the AWE32 and OPL3... Whereas I was thinking of the normal Sound Blaster 16 and OPL2.. The changelog says this.. - Add two new opl2+opl3 emulators. (better speed, different implementation approach) Which implies that the new code is just faster. I …

The sound blaster OPL code was updated between I think version .072 and .074 with claims of being faster and more accurate. It would be nice to have a list of games where the improvement is noticeable.

OK... So it is supposed to be more accurate and sound better. Can anyone give a list of games that there is a noticeable difference? I would like to compare just to hear the differences. Thanks

ok I will. The only other oddities that I have seen that could possibly be related is strange behavior with install scripts for several games. However in those cases I found it easier to do the install process on my PC and then copy the files over to the xbox. I'll just assume that Crystal Caves is …

That though crossed my mind.. however it does not negate two things... 1) The game works fine on an original PC 2) The game works fine running under dosbox on a windows XP machine. Thus it is running "incorrectly" in the xbox environment. Even if the game is doing a no no. :D That being said.. if it …

I think you should look at how the xbox port is handling a file create on a file that is already open. Shouldn't matter if the file was opened in read or read/write mode. It's actually a bug in Crystal Caves that it opens the file twice and only closes the second handle. The handle table will ( …

I've been tinkering around with dosxbox (version of dosbox for the xbox) and I ran into this weird little issue where if you "r"eload a save game and then attempt to 's'ave back to the same slot it gives a file error. Almost like it is leaving the file open so that "save" attempt fails. The 's'aves …
