Re: Console Screen with DOSBox on WinXP

Posted on 2005-06-15, 15:13

Well, let's see here: I created a batch file consisting of "dosbox.exe -noconsole", but then I had a console window titled "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" that spawned the dosbox program. As an alternative, I opened the command prompt and manually executed the dosbox program, but I was still left with …

Console Screen with DOSBox on WinXP

Posted on 2005-06-15, 14:26

When I run DOSBox on my system, Windows XP throws up a console screen (command prompt). The descriptive title is "C:\Program Files\DOSBox\0.63\dosbox.exe" and it displays messages as the dosbox.exe program runs in a separate window. Is there a way to turn off this console screen that XP uses? Maybe …

Got these errors: Serial port: line error. Serial port: line error. Serial port at 0x3f8: RX Overrun! Serial port at 0x3f8: Write to reserved register, value 0x0, register 2 Serial port: line error. Software is a kind of datalogger which requires authentication/adapter dongle connected to COM1. …

To further enhance your debugging experience, I have noticed that this version of DOSBox (dosbox_serialRT.exe) works when cycles=36000 in the [CPU] section of dosbox.conf but not when cycles>=50000. Interesting... I'll investigate further into this tomorrow. Have a good evening, everyone!

Q. About "extern Bitu cycle_count"

Hey hal9000, I am trying to get your serial port mod to work with orz's realtime clock mod (see http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=5418&highlight=real+clock+dosbox). I started with a successful version of orz's realtime clock mod and applied the changes to allow your serial port mod to work. I …

[log] section in dosbox.conf help

Posted on 2005-06-08, 19:54

I have been unable to find any documentation on the [log] section in the dosbox.conf file (DOSBox 0.63). The closest explanation was found in the ChangeLog file. There are several settings that I am curious about: int10 dma (direct memory access?) fpu (floating point unit?) paging fcb (file control …

I wanted to post my results for those of you that might be interested in them: I built 4 versions of dosbox: the original from the 0.63 CVS; a version from *orz*'s realtime clock patch http://home.amis.net/lkslavi/ ; a version from hal9000's serial port patch http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p= …

Re: diff and patch for win32

Posted on 2005-06-03, 15:08

hal9000: Your files have #include "serialport.h" , like the rest of the dosbox project. Your code is referring to your custom header file ..\src\serialport.h - the rest of the dosbox code still requires the include\serialport.h header. This is causing some compiler confusion. I'd like to rename your …

h-a-l-9000, I downloaded dosboxserial2.zip from your thread. When I tried to compile, I got that a few things were missing. On bios.h, I had to add BIOS_COM3_TIMEOUT and BIOS_COM4_TIMEOUT; I added the contents of the dosbox\src\hardware\serialport folder to my project There must be something else …

I downloaded serialport_patch2.diff from SourceForge, as it had a newer date on it than serialport_patch.diff did. Is there something else I should have used? …

Re: diff and patch for win32

Posted on 2005-06-01, 16:31

Uh oh! I'm beginning to see new problems. Previously, I applied the realtime clock patch, and now I am trying to apply the serial port patch. Unfortunately, the realtime clock patch seems to have modified some of the same code that the serial port patch needs to modify. The serial port patch says to …

I really appreciate all the help. Now I seem to be having another problem: When I enter the patch command, I get errors. C:\>patch -p0 < c:\dosbox\serialport_patch2.diff can't find file to patch at input line 6 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: …

This is getting frusterating, but how do I "apply" a .diff file? Specifically, I am wanting to apply the "serialport_patch2.diff" file. diff is for getting the difference between two files or folders, so I don't see how this file is used. I apologize for my ignorance.

Re: diff and patch for win32

I installed both diff and patch from the sourceforge download page, then updated my path so that my command line terminal (eh... DOS window?) would know where the new diff.exe and patch.exe files were. Expecting fabulous results, I typed in "coreswitch.patch" at the prompt. Windows brought up a …

diff and patch for win32

Posted on 2005-05-31, 16:20

I have some patches I want to try on my version of DosBox, but they are diff or patch files. I am having a terrible time trying to do all of this manually using Notepad. I did a Google on "diff patch win32." That pulled up half the pages on the Internet, and the relivant links were no longer active. …
