Re: Blood no intro

Posted on 2018-10-24, 12:53

Is this the GoG release or version 1.21? It seems the video's are disabled for these versions :( No, it's a version I've created with a portable DosBox. The latest GOG version shows the intro video and i've tried comparing both conf files to see if I missed something. Maybe I'm missing some files, …

Blood no intro

Posted on 2018-10-24, 12:42

Any idea why I can't get Blood to play the intro video? Audio tracks are working fine, therefore the cdrom path is correct. But why can't I see the intro video? Do I have to add or replace some files, or a command in dosbox.conf?

Re: Need help with Full Screen

Posted on 2018-03-02, 22:23

That's just how the games were designed. They're running in fullscreen; they're just not using all of it, at least not all of the time. By using only a portion of the screen, games could use less memory, artists didn't have to draw as much and it gave a widescreen cinematic look. That was …

Need help with Full Screen

Posted on 2018-03-02, 21:08

I'd like some help to make some games work on full screen mode. I know that those old Dos games were designed for 4:3 aspect ratio and that forcing them to a 16:9 aspect ratio will skew the picture and ruin the overall gaming experience. Even though I managed to make Rebel Assault II , Hardline , …

How am I supposed to know that my solution wasn't suitable for you? Since I took the time to even give you one, you could've at least said, "Thanks, but I'd rather try to solve it without changing anything about DOSBox because I have a large GOG and illegal 300+ game collection that I can't modify …

As I said earlier in the thread, I've had the same graphical issues as you in the past, but I've found ways to avoid them. Right now, I'm using the latest plain SVN build of DOSBox with output=overlay. Try that. And how am I supposed to rip the DosBox from all the GOG games that I have and put this …

I've tried everything, including what DosFreak suggested but the problem persists. I even tried updating Windows 10 to version 1709 hoping that they'll recover the old "disabe desktop composition" option in compatibility mode, but nothing. Why is it doing that? Why did DOS games ran so seamless in …

Re: Dune CD version ?

It's not even the CD version! Some guy took HD scenes from the movie and added them to the Floppy Disk version of the game. You can tell it's the Floppy version from the way you're traveling between points. In the CD version there was a beautifully made rendered cinematic. http://www.mobygames.com/ …

Something on your system (videocard drivers ?) on windows 10 isn't very compatible with DOSBox. This is not a common problem, as most of us use DOSBox on windows 10 without a problem. I've tried compatibility mode with every available Windows, but the result is still the same. And I don't think …

I was under the impression that Direct3D is no longer supported in DosBox and from what I can remember, setting a game to Direct3D made the cutscene videos really small. Like a small square in the center of the screen. And no matter what resolution I'd put, it would stay like this unless I'd switch …

I get the same issues. Switching to DOSBox SVN Daum and setting output=direct3d eliminates them. Try that. I was under the impression that Direct3D is no longer supported in DosBox and from what I can remember, setting a game to Direct3D made the cutscene videos really small. Like a small square in …

It works perfectly for me in Windows 10. Try downloading DOSBox again. I never said it doesn't work. It works perfectly, but it has this small issue. I don't see why I should replace DosBox. It's not corrupted or anything. It worked just fine in Vista 32bit , without small pauses in switch mode or …

In my experience, Dosbox doesn't play nice with the DDraw renderer in Windows 10 and can cause problems like this. I see from another thread that you say that the OpenGL renderer doesn't work in Win10. That's not my experience at all, and it's pretty bulletproof for me. What graphics card are you …

Re: Atlantis: The Lost Tales

Posted on 2017-07-12, 05:05

You don't call atldos, ATLCUT does it for you (it creates a new process, think of that exe as a bat file). When you exited the game it started again because you called it again. Remove @atldos. Ripsaw explained better what the 11 does (it can be any number from 0 to 99 i think). It's not that it …

Re: Windows 95 Games

Posted on 2017-07-11, 21:31

Well I don't know about Windows '95 (maybe the first Age of Empires , HyperBlade , Krazy Ivan , Dark Earth , Rocket Jockey , or SimCopter ) but I'd love to see Starshot: Space Circus again. It was one of the first games that required a Voodoo 3dfx card in order to play. That, Forsaken and Star Wars: …

Re: Atlantis: The Lost Tales

I've tried that already, i've replaced the original ALTCUT with this one, I even tried executing it, but it says that it can't find the drive it was supposed to look for. And even if I don't execute ALTCUT, just replace and play, there is no apparent change with the mouse speed. It's still stuck …

Re: Star Trek Final Unity - Window Size

Posted on 2017-07-09, 21:31

The actual game also had the semi-annoying video mode switches, which were more annoying on hardware since they involved a display card and monitor switching modes. The mode switches are doubly annoying because those two VESA modes should have the same timings and not require a monitor switch. But …

By the way, OpenGL doesn't work well with DosBox. Most games will crash if you set them to OpenGL. The only game I know that didn't crash and had it's graphics greatly improved with OpenGL was Darklight Conflict . Personally I prefer using either Ddraw or Overlay . I use Overlay with games that have …

Re: Star Trek Final Unity - Window Size

Posted on 2017-07-09, 08:51

Why would you want to play it in Window mode? Try this dosbox.conf, it works like a charm in full screen and it looks better with the SuperEagle scaler. Just don't set the cycles to auto or max because in tactical mode the game will go really fast and the buttons won't respond.
