hmm.....could try that...

Thank you. The advice really helps. I'll let everyone know if it all goes well. However, just under an hour ago, I found a box in my shed and when I opened it, I found a shoebox full of 3.5" floppies with old QBasic projects...one of which I want to start up again, now that I have some nice tools …

hmmmm.......good point on the SDL. I'll give it another go...see what happens. However, I also didn't spend my money on M$ Visual Studio 6 Enterprise for nothing.... do you think that is also good enough to compile with? Anyway, I'll give it another go and see what happens. Oh, and one little thing. …

That's where I think my problem is, or part of it atleast. I downloaded the SDL 1.2.8 source, and './configure', 'make', and 'make install' It all seemed to work okay there. Do I need to find the new dlls and move them to some directory somewhere?

Compiled. But not working. I start to run a game and it crashes...shuts down. I noticed it couldn't find the SDL libraries during the ./configure command....my PATH statement is broken. But, do you think this will go away when I get the PATH statement right? during make command fmopl.c:375: warning: …

uhm....nope.....I downloaded mine from the CVS-compile website from the AEP website.....the link from the dosbox website. I think that may be the problem. I'm going to try a different zip....

file.txt is the DOS dir dump...d

I can't figure this out. I install MinGW-3.2.0-rc-3.exe on d:\ then install MSYS-1.0.9.exe. So, final structure looks like: d:\MinGW d:\MSys\1.0\MinGW (I copied all the MinGW files here...don't know why) d:\Msys\1.0\home\James\newcvs\ This is where I have the SDL (1.2.8) and the latest CVS with my …

heh. So much for the wiki saying to just copy some of those things.....maybe I could get someone else to do it for me ;) ??? I tried recompiling the CVS build....I wanted to keep the functionality I had, and just knock off the mouse, but oh well. Maybe some other time after I finish reading up on …

Just tried the wiki.......got everything installed, got my thinking cap on how to navigate directories in a *nix environ.....and that's it. When I try to run the make command, it keeps throwing garbage at me......at the same time I'm surfing through the forums here, I'm reading up on the beginning …

I know it doesn't. I saw it could be done, I tried it, and voila, a non working game in vanilla dosbox, is a working game. I thought I'd keep going with it and make a couple other games that don't work, work. I did look to see if someone had a fix for it, or a trick, an example here, Earth 2140 does …

what, what? Why do you need VirtualPC? DOSBox already has an internal mouse driver... uhmmm...hmmm... Well, I found it easy to use Virtual PC to install MS-DOS and the few games I've tried...some that didn't work before using VPC, work now. The only problem I'm seeing is mouse support when the …

First off....Cool work guys, especially mirekluza for his guide on virtual drives. I have a 2.0 Ghz machine with XP pro, and Dosbox .63....uhm...CVS actually, and I am able to play my old games again. Reason I use dosbox? I found an old box in my trunk filled with old games. I used VirtualPC and …
