Well then let me rephrase: authenticity without having to set up another system :wink: My original question probably drowned in my long post, but it was: how does DOSBox know to correct the aspect ratio to letterboxed 4:3 within my display's full 5:4, even if the desktop resolution is at a 4:3 ratio …

I have some incertainties concerning the functionality of aspect correction. I know what it is supposed to do, but was confused as to some of the effects the option was having while trying to best configure Gabriel Knight for play. I am playing on a (fairly small) LCD monitor with a native …

Let's hope that gog.com contacts you when they release the Sierra adventures (through their Activision deal). I thought the Sierra assets were still fully owned by VU, so how does Activision figure into that picture? Obviously it does somehow, as they already released Phantasmagoria and Space Quest …

Not all DOSBox games on Steam are released like this. It seems to depend on the publisher that supplies them. I got a few DOS games when I purchased the "LucasArts Premier Pack" during a special sale, and they are actually organised very well: Within the usual "Steam\steamapps\common\ " subdirectoy …

I agree. DOS games are much too diverse and complicated for general solutions, that's inherent to computer games in contrast to console games. If you lose the manual aspects, you will lose its configurability and have a lot of titles cease working. Really the only way to automate things/make stuff …

Hi, I have a weird problem with DOSBox on my Linux System. I am using Ubuntu Linux 7.04 Gutsy with the GNOME Window Manager. My notebook has an ATI Mobility X600 graphics card, for which I have installed the proprietary drivers. I also have Compiz-Fusion installed and running, on top of XGL, because …

Thanks, I tried, but with no luck. I then decided to try out the CD-Rip version from Home of the Underdogs. And guess what, I had commentary (it even played the music from my BRR-CD). I noticed that the executable wasn't the same version, so I just copied the one from the rip over, and it worked …

Hi I have trouble activating audio commentary in Big Red Racing, and I have no clue why :disapproving: I am using DOSBox 0.70 on an Athlon XP 3000+ with 1GB RAM, Athlon X800 GTO, Realtek AC97 Onboard, Windows XP SP-2. The game installed correctly and although my system is too lame to run it fluently …

No, I don't have any joystick at all attached, and there are no joystick drivers installed in Windows.

I used the standard dosbox.conf that comes with the official download, and tried different settings for output, cycles, core and some other options, but none of the changes affected the problem. None of the output settings prevents it from happening, and neither 'auto' cycles nor any of the …

Hello I encountered a problem when trying to use DOSBox today, for the first time on my new system. Whenever I fire up the application, it runs fine for about 20 seconds, and then it starts to stutter, meaning that about every 2 seconds, the program freezes for about 1 second, and then continues …
