Dosbox works fine on sarge but upon exit it freezes the console. Applies to 0.63 debian package as well as a standard compile out of the 0.63 stock source package with SDL 1.2.8 and the latest released 1.2.9 What am I doing wrong here?

I want to learn KDevelop anyway. I just thought it was good to start out with something I did already on my old windows machine: Looking if some hacks needed by GameWiz are already incorporated in the standard CVS version and if not, adopt em. I'm gonna play around or actually work on code more as …

I'm not yet familiar with IPX and its relation to other protocols. What does IPX better than an UDP/TCP/IP implementation for tunneling dosboxed games through the network.

With this machine, Dosbox will not only run but also run smooth enough to play demanding games, win 3.x and apply graphics filters. Note that this applies only to software that has no general issues with current dosbox versions. You will be happy with this.

I had been thinking about a serial-over-tcp/ip-layer a while back. Though, I don't know what would be the best and most useful way to implement it: - as a host OS application - as a real DOS application and a TCP/IP interface in the dosbox - as a "pseudo app" as the ones on the z: drive, configured …

With both patches applied, Game Wizard 3a Pro did run and executed most functions properly. In some cases it did odd things to the display - that's just like it behaved on 286. Still, I'd prefer a built-in method but the thing I started is lost with my broken computer. It was ill-designed anyway. …

I know this isn't as elegant as the "official" version, but to me it worked. I can't post to the apropriote forum, move or delete as you find suitable. 1.)

A clean, processor-optimized compile might bring a performance gain of a few percent. The question is: Who does the make files for the several processor-optimized development tools? A third party AMD special compiler won't eat Visual Studio configuration files.
