A downside is the device driver availability in OS/2 2.x (versus Microsoft Windows 3.x).

It may not be reproducible, but where a large time delay occurs at startup (such as loading cd audio), then sometimes movement of the parent window before the shell loads will lead to a sudden exit.

MinGW and gcc versions for Windows are not fully C++11 compliant. For example, here is a separate project to work toward fully working threads on that platform: https://github.com/lhmouse/mcfgthread. This and other efforts are ongoing for a long time. The common suggestion is then to use a closed …

That's exactly what I tried. I tested your code with DEBUG lines active. It is thorough and allowed for evaluation of End of File for a non-file based cue/bin pair (along with eof versus general fail bit error checking). I hope to eventually test your emulation with cd audio at a lower rate on the …

I wonder if there is a list of redbook audio DOS games with any playback by redbook offset instead of by track. Is it also possible to efficiently log the event as a warning along with some data? I've also been testing and logging on the redbook audio functions - thank you for the continued …

I do not have a different result from the latest build, but I will continue to test if it helps.

Your above commit seems good. However, I am unable to test it alongside the commit that moved the CD volume code from the callback. The CD volume and related commits appeared under active development, so I was not surprised that there were some issues in CD audio playback that were resolved by …

Thank you. In DOSBox-SVN, GetAudioSub() only returns false if (cur_track < 1). However, the latest dosbox-staging commit also returns false if (player.remainingTrackFrames <= 0). The return values should follow the SVN method.

Your commit restores the track position counter in open cubic player. However, the Windows 3.1 media player does not support CD audio playback. Haven't tested this issue in other dosbox builds yet.

The CD-DA improvements allow for playback of CD audio in DOS, but the position on any audio track is not updated while playing. Tested with open cubic player that displays the track position and a cue/bin pair for the music.

One problem of supporting several compilers is the vast amounts of regression testing. Every version is different.

The ideal solution has the least dependencies on a particular platform while having sufficient performance. The DOSBox method fits this better than the alternatives, although boxedwine has potential if it ports easily to non-sdl2 platforms and the interpreter cpu emulation is sufficient. For Windows …

It is from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hx-dos/files/2.17/ May start with that version 2.17. The file is archived in HXRT217.zip as HDPMI32.EXE. (I previously pasted the name incorrectly as HDMI.)
