Re: "Master of Magic" cannot get install started

FYI, if you mount with the "-t floppy" switch then you won't need to reset the directory cache with Ctrl-F4 on disk changes, even with drive letter C: and above.

The issue with the installer is that it uses INT 13h to read sectors when the source drive is A: or B: (the drive letter is what matters to the installer, not the type of drive). Mounting multiple floppy images on a single drive letter is only supported in SVN; however, low-level access (INT 13h) is …

The glitch you describe is not happening for me. I am using the output=opengl setting; which output are you using?

Things like pointer drawing glitches are often related to cycles, so try more or less. A DOS game made in 1997 will likely work best with a lot of cycles, so maybe max cycles with or without a limit.

Re: Is it possible to deactivate Dosbox's own internal mouse driver emulation and use a TSR instead?
Posted on 2021-01-03, 17:41
Win3 uses DOSBox's emulation of the BIOS PS/2 mouse interface; so the driver, internal or otherwise, is not involved. Perhaps that's only the default when Win3 is installed in DOSBox; not sure if other options can be selected.

AFAICT, there's no PCM sound in the intro, and only a little during gameplay. At the start of the game, when the shuttle lands at the spaceport there is some hiss of thrusters, and if you go out the front door of the spaceport and wait awhile a taxi will go by and honk its horn.
Re: Name of CD-ROM drive
Posted on 2020-12-15, 09:53
DOSBox uses MSCD001 for the name of the emulated CD-ROM device driver, presumably because it was historically a sort of default. However, it is usually not necessary for users to concern themselves with such details, as the emulated device driver and MSCDEX interface is automatically activated when …

Re: ANSI.SYS support cannot be detected using multiplex interrupt int 2F
Posted on 2020-11-30, 10:08
Since you are the developer, you could use a configuration option or command line switch to enable ANSI coloration. I see you've already made this request of DOSBox-X: https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/1430
Re: ANSI.SYS support cannot be detected using multiplex interrupt int 2F
Posted on 2020-11-30, 09:44
Example of an application that uses this check? DOSBox emulates only part of the ANSI.SYS driver, specifically the processing of escape codes in console output, so it is important to make sure that implementing the install check won't actually cause problems when applications try to use other parts …

The info in the Compatibility List is provided by users and not verified in any way, so take it with a grain of salt, particularly those entries that claim a given game is broken with no information given. That said, the Zork Anthology should work in DOSBox. Do you have the floppy or CD-ROM version? …

Re: CHiLL XL enclosure

A grille of ventilation holes above the voltage regulator on the interface would be great, as it can get quite hot. Even better would be standoff feet and a lower grille as well. With that kind of passive convective cooling you could stack multiple enclosures with less concern, but it may be asking …

Can probably use more common mnemonic instead of array: inc word ds:[bx+data], or possibly: inc word ds:[bx+offset data], just make sure the generated machine code references the correct memory. BTW, for a topic that isn't specific to DOSBox, such as this one, please post it in Milliways. That you …
Re: City Beneath the Surface

The full freeware version of the game has a bug where SETSOUND.EXE produces a SETSOUND.DAT file that is 85 bytes long, but CBS.EXE expects the file to be 86 bytes long and will not enable sound if the file is smaller. I can only guess how this situation came to be, but in any case there appear to be …
