Re: Specific VGA chipset support?

Posted on 2003-12-27, 21:47

"Virtual pool" would be a good candidate for trying to implement specific modes for various vga cards. It has at least 10 drivers. I had an S3 805 VLB card which worked very well with it in a special 640x480 mode in which game looks much better than standard 320x240. Besides, game supports even …

Re: DOSBox MT-32 screech

It's because SB & Adlib emu send their data to midi device, which is mt32 by default. I thing midi.cpp should be changed to allow more midi devices at the same time and then route port 330 (MPU401) to mt32 and the rest to default system midi device.

I have demo from an old shareware CD and it freezes at the beginning of the first level (executes nop instructions ). Full version (found on the web) works fine. I doesn't have movies though. Maybe your old hardware wasn't fully compatible with game or it simply is very buggy.

Re: Eight Ball Deluxe (1994 Pinball Game)

So, If the processor is fast enough, game has enough time to draw things correctly during the vertical retrace. If not, it uses time during screen drawing. That explains why raising cpu cycles helps. Hmm, wouldn't it, in some cases, help to draw complete screen at the end of the drawing period? ( …

Pinball Illusions works with CVS !! Both GUS, SB and PC speaker sound are working, but with a lag (emulation probably isn't fast enough for that). Only problem in fact are higher resolutions: If i select 360x350, game runs 336x350 mode(??), but it has scalew=2 and scaleh=1, while they should be both …

Re: Great Courts 2 (CVS)

update #2: I've found it. current version contains this code in vga_draw.cpp (~ line 367): /* Check for pixel doubling, master clock/2 */ if (vga.seq.clocking_mode & 0x8) { clock/=2; htotal*=2; } If I comment this: //htotal*=2; game works normally again. The change was introduced 8.11.2003. Btw, …

Great Courts 2 (CVS)

Posted on 2003-11-16, 23:41

This game works with both 0.58 and 0.60 normally, but with current CVS it's much slower (even unplayable). What could have gone wrong? update: I tried the game with various versions of the CVS and it seems that problem is with the new renderer (files updated between 8.11.2003 at 10:30 and 8.111 at …

Re: Life and Death 2

Sorry for linking, I wasn't aware of the rule. Maybe you should try combining files from both versions (i.e exe & config.dat from no-surgery version with the rest). It may be possible to create a complete working game. And I actually managed to install and get working full version with vdmsound & XP …

some of mine non-working games(CVS): (EDIT 20.12.03) Alien trilogy - dosbox stops responding FIFA - pagefault not corrected Alone in the Dark Daugter of serpents - black screen Dawn Patrol - ems handle error, a very strange bug Overlord - same as Dawn Patrol if core_full used Digitrakker 3.2 - (real …

Re: GUS and MT32 support.

Impulse tracker still has pitch problems, but it's better now. I've made a small module which demonstrates problems: http://student.fizika.org/~smorovic/gustst.zip I tried digitrakker 3.2 too but it gives CPU error in dosbox (a real mode EMS program:( ) Also, Death rally doesn't load with gus driver …

Re: GUS and MT32 support.

Posted on 2003-11-07, 13:28

Hi The emulator works great. I've tested few programs and games and here are those that don't work perfectly. First, the Fast Tracker 2: It uses some unhandled stuff so playback mostly doesn't sound well. This wonderful program can switch between soundblaster & GUS output on the fly, and it has …

Re: Aspect ratio

Posted on 2003-11-04, 13:45

It's not that simple. Some resolutions (320x400?) have totally wrong aspect ratio in both full screen and windowed mode. There should be customizable aspect ratio, or dosbox should handle all resolutions' aspect ratio correctly. Example, Pinball Fantasies in i "high res" mode

Re: Pinball Dreams 2 - odd?

Posted on 2003-11-04, 00:05

yes, I have the same problem. This also appears in games Pinball Fantasies & Pinball 4000. Problem arises only when sound blaster (or pro,sb16) is selected in setup, so the sound driver causes this. I think there may be uncleared allocated buffer in dosbox, because I was actually able to run Pinball …
