Re: linux in dosbox

Running anything except DOS (which includes old Windowses by definition) first fails because of non-emulated disk hardware. By the time someone implements an IDE emulation that no game ever needs, you'd hit CPU inaccuracies (often delliberate ones, to improve game speed). And then you'd probably …

Re: Changing screen color, and other questions

Eric: The current working directory of DOSBox depends on how it was started. If it was via an icon on your desktop, it's properties should allow you to set that. In any case, there is no "right" or "wrong" working directory, it should simply be where you want it to be. MiniMax: The rc postfix …

Re: Next question: Midi configuration

DOSBox doesn't process the volume instructions in the game's MIDI output at all, so there is no place where you could edit anything. The real reason is probably that your Linux MIDI player sends a higher-volume instruction to the card than the game. Even though I do a little MIDI on Linux (in the " …

Re: Demo application crashing.

That it crashes DOSBox should be considered a bug though! Executing a bad program shouldn't crash it imo... Well, it doesn't crash DOSBox. Crashing is something else than "Intentionally aborting". While I'm all with you, nothing ever should crash DOSBox, I think it's fine if the CPU gurus choose to …

Re: IS CD-ROM/HD Image booting in the work?

[...] This is kinda hacky but it would work on DOS. For Win95 well.... maybe a hacked Windows driver? Which is why I said "it's quite hard", not impossible. Intercepting DOS interrupts in a running true MS-DOS is asking for all sorts of compatibility problems. IIRC, someone somewhere once posted a …

Re: 3 bugs in 0.72 on Mac OS X

Thanks for such a detailed bug report. Way too few people thake time to find out that much before reporting :) As for 3), did you check that other Ctrl-F? key combos work? IIRC, the mac keyboard on a macbook pro is a bit strange regarding F-keys. "dosbox -startmapper" might be a help to you as well …

Re: IS CD-ROM/HD Image booting in the work?

loading code. It's so simple that I'm still seraching why it hasn't yet been done. So, more to follow tomorrow :) Because there is no IDE hardware emulation: As soon as you boot from CD, the built-in MSCDEX won't work anymore (obviously, since DOSBox is no longer in control of DOS interrupts), and …

Re: VFX1 emulation

I don't see why you need to move on to the scaler level, that's completely independent from the graphics hardware emulation and rendering. I guess that was in reply to my post. The TFT screen in that link is 3D capable: Both images are displayed at the same time, interlaced, and the screen has a …
