Re: How to run BAO Tower?

It is not safe to use disk utilities (such as scandisk or defrag) on the image in DOSBox emulation: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=117084#p117084 I would delete the disk image copy which was modified by any disk utility. It is also a good practice to keep a backup copy of the Tower disk …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

Thank you for the excellent recommendations. I think the nice advantage of FS4 and FS5 is that the propeller aircraft can be controlled with a keyboard. The jet aircraft in FS5 seem a bit more difficult to handle with the keyboard only. The use of flat textures also holds up better.

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

That is wonderful news! :) I am very glad that you have the sim working since it is one of a kind. I believe it also allows a connection to one fs5.1 client via the serial emulation, although it may not be an essential feature. I recall the sim has a readme about it and the use of share.exe to …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

I would make a copy of the Tower disk image as a backup. Then I would use the copy and imgmount it like done previously, but this time allow access to the Windows directory for W31 where the sound works (DOSBox would start in a local directory, along with a subdirectory for Windows). It should be …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

Glad to help. :) It is possible to transfer the files by OSFMount, given it is compatible with the host OS. I believe there is another software that has the transfer function, too. The other way is to start DOSBox by the mount command on a local directory with the sb2 files, along with mounting the …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

Does BAO Tower rely on the SB16 CSP device which is not emulated in DOSBox? The voice from the tower works from a bootable W31 image. I tested with ems=false, umb=true, xms=true, sbtype=sb2. Autoexec.bat is empty file. Config.sys has two lines only: device=c:\setver.exe device=c:\himem.sys The SB …

Re: DOSBox-X branch

Attached is code to implement a gamma level modifier in the 3dfx Voodoo emulation (non-opengl software path only), as in DOSBox-X. It likely requires manual application of the patch since it was formed in a modified build. It also has a feature that implements a gamma level for non-3dfx cases where …

Re: DOSBox-X branch

A multithreaded version of the software rendering path in the 3dfx Voodoo 1 emulation patch is compatible with DOSBox-X: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1099414#p1099414 It has different code for the PCI emulation, but it is not difficult to adapt. It requires moving lines of code while not …

Re: DOSBox-X branch

I am testing the recent patch for an increased baud rate on a serial port. Since it may affect the modem emulation: static Bitu INT14_Handler(void) { .. switch (reg_ah) { case 0x00: { ... Bitu baudrate = 9600; uint16_t baudresult; Bitu rawbaud=(Bitu)reg_al>>5; if (rawbaud==0){ baudrate=110;} ... …

Re: Good DosBox on tablets?
