Re: best build of dosbox and frontend?
Posted on 2020-11-28, 21:32
dosbox-x has support for savestates, and while it has been enhanced recently, it is not perfect. Better test if it works with your game of choice before relying on it.

FYI, for dosbox-x a few fixes had to be made to SDL1 itself for bigsur and audio support. https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/co … 38ccdf728851f36
Re: Nullmodem server doesn't initialize
Posted on 2020-11-11, 21:17
The lower 1024 ports are restricted on Unix (and hence Linux) to root. A regular user cannot use them. For the nullmodem server, specify something like: Copy code to clipboard 1 serial1 nullmodem port:5000 For the client, you then specify: Copy code to clipboard 1 serial1 nullmodem server:
Re: DOSBox: mount CD image to use in boot
Posted on 2020-11-06, 22:24
As jmarsh mentioned, DOSBox does not support CD-ROMs once you boot an OS in DOSBox. This is due to missing IDE emulation. If you need this function, have a look at DOSBox-X instead.

Hello: What about the config settings dosbox-x.conf? in version 0.83.6 the file was 177kb, and in 0.83.7 only 44kb. In version 0.83.6 you could specify the MAC address of the network card, but in 0.83.7 you can´t. Ethernet passthrough in 0.83.7 does not work well, after loading lsl.com and ODI …
Re: Papyrus Nascar 2 high resolution?
Posted on 2020-10-29, 13:05
3dfx emulation and glide wrapper/pass-through are not the same thing. - 3dfx emulation typically refers to low-level emulation of the 3dfx voodoo adapter. A disadvantage of this mode is that it is slow and limited to the original cards limits - glide wrapper (or pass-through) instead replaces the …

So after upgrading to Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon, DOSBox ECE breaks because of FluidSynth.

Re: Resolution Issue with Dosbox using a VGA monitor
Posted on 2020-10-21, 06:17
You don't mention which OS your running. For instance with Linux using Wayland (which is the default for most modern Linux distributions), there is no way for a program to change resolution. So fullscreen=original will not work. When you look at the list of available resolutions when you run …
Re: How do you deal with multiple dosbox configurations ?
Posted on 2020-10-19, 15:49
I would suggest you ignore D-Fend, since it is unmaintained, and has been for a long time. Instead look for DBGL.

I would suggest you post this issue either in the dosbox-x github issues page, or in the dosbox-x development thread here on vogons. Typically the admins here don't like posts about other dosbox forks, outside their development thread. DOSBox-X branch
Re: Long File Name (LFN) support (SDL1)
Posted on 2020-09-28, 06:28
@j022 also with DOSBox-X the LFN support is disabled by default. The two ways to activate it in DOSBox-X are to either set your reported DOS version to 7.0+ which corresponds to Win95. Or set [DOS] LNF=TRUE (defaults to AUTO, which means to activate when dos ver >= 7.0). I would imagine that a …
Re: DOSBox ECE (for Windows & Linux)
Posted on 2020-09-25, 13:27
@Yesterplay80 just a heads up. As I'm sure you know, dosbox-ece for Linux is currently compiled against libfluidsynth.so.1. However the upcoming Fedora 33 instead ships with libfluidsynth.so.2 and as such dosbox-ece no longer works. The user will get something like: dosbox: error while loading …

Re: Mouse copy/paste support (Windows)
Posted on 2020-09-20, 09:54
Your DEBUG probably came from a real MS-DOS, and those original MS-DOS utilities specifically check the DOS version to see if it matches the DOS version they originally shipped with. So to get it to run you need to set your DOS version to the same version as expected by DEBUG To find out which DOS …
