DOSBox only supports games, try to use the DOSBox-X fork instead. It also has some niceties for text-mode DOS programs, such as support for TTF output.

Hi Guys, I am a woman, not guy. I really don't like it when people think that all programmers and all electronics are boys. "Hi colleagues" or "Hi to all" will be more appropriate... But it is completely unnecessary on forums and chats. "Guys" in English is commonly used as a gender-neutral term. …

Is it possible that DBGL is setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER= environment setting on windows that is causing problems, as SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib does not appear to be valid for SDL2?
Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

Don't know why your getting that windib error, but that seems to be an sdl videodriver. From what I found, is that for an SDL1 program directx is the default SDL_VIDEODRIVER, while for an SDL2 version the only option appears to be SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windows https://wiki.libsdl.org/FAQUsingSDL Since …

Re: Does DOSBox support changing the code page? (EDIT: nope not by using int 0x21 - The KeyB command does work however)

That is why I said it works on -x and -staging. Typing it on -x gives: Z:\>keyb us 850 Keyboard layout us loaded for codepage 850
Re: Is there a good text editor for Windows that can handle MS-DOS code pages correctly?

That is because Oracle is being Oracle, and made things very convoluted in attempts to cash in on Java. They want you to use the Oracle branded version. e.g., https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk17-archive-downloads.html See here for an alternative to Oracle: https://adoptium.net/ …

https://jdk.java.net/archive/ has the old versions. Note that Java 17 is considered the current LTS (Long-Term-Support) release, and unless jedit really needs JDK11, I would use JDK17 instead.

JDK11 is just the Java JDK. Go to https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/11/ to get it.

The colour of the terminal output by default is indeed grey. But you can set it to green or amber using e.g., dosbox-x -display2 amber And then type in dosbox-x: mode mono And you should see a dos prompt in amber on the terminal. Be sure to set your terminal to 80x25 (most default to 80x24), or you …

You may want to try DOSBox-X 0r -staging (the later compiled from git). Both have better support for codepage switching and support loading CPI or CPX files. In fact, both of them now include the FreeDOS EGA*.CPX files.

Re: How to enable gravis ultrasound music within DosBox Game Launcher?

I had a GUS back in the day, and yes while it sounded great, it was a pain with regular SB/Adlib games. But games that directly supported the GUS would be fine. You have to remember that you need to have a ULTRASND directory in the root of your emulated C: drive with the ultrasound patches and such. …

It's pretty easy. You need to have a github account, and then you go to the https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues tab and create a new issue. You can drag-and-drop images into the text box to add them to explain things.

@Neville. It may be better to open an issue on the DOSBox-X github page. I suspect the box around the mouse cursor in Maupiti Island may also be related to this.
Re: Accessing the parallel port registers - DOSBox-X

You should really post this in the DOSBox-X forum thread. In any case, what Linux device does this adapter show up as? e.g. a traditional parallel port is normally /dev/parport0 while a USB adapter may show as /dev/usblp0. What does "ls -l" of the device show? What are the permissions and ownership? …
