Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

I get it now. The "Reload Settings" changes the settings of the profile that is selected. Oah I see. Perhaps "Apply Settings" or "Apply Template Settings" Would be a better phrase than "Reload Settings". I would also suggest a dialoug box warning that custom settings will be deleted. Can you take …

Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

While, I can't seem to figure out how to get the templates working. I now have games that no loner work. It does not work just "setting" them back to the right template. I also don't see the settings changing according to the template I choose. When I enter the config file, memory is set to 1. Even …

Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

I like the new build Some things I have noticed- The new icons are GREAT, also is the new "add profile, edit profile" etc. Could they be grayed out when unavailable? I really like the new MobyGames support. I did notice this though: when searching for "Dungeon Keeper" it found 3 results, none of …

Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

I have another suggestion, It would be nice if there was some sort of help for using DBGL. Often I find some of the options cryptic, not knowing if or when I should be using it, or even what it does for that matter. Is there a way to give "hints" when the most hovers over this or that? If there was …

Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

Some bugs- 1. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like in Mac- You can see the "Add Profile Edit Profile etc." is not well distinguished. Could these be made into buttons or something so its clear what the options are? 2. When I select a template from within a profile, it does not "stick" I don't …

Re: IPX over Internet

Hi Rcblanke, do you have a nightly build for me to download? I would happily make suggestions on things that are not-quite-working, or that I feel could be improved upon. However the current one I have is half broken. I think its because I tried updating it myself but didn't quite get it right.

Re: IPX over Internet

I updated mine to .73 you can configure the autoexe in the doxbox versions tab. Hit the "edit version" button and then "edit configuration file using external editor" Do you know of a better frontend ? I tied a bunch and found this one to be the best despite its fallbacks. I would be happy for …

Re: IPX over Internet

I am using DBGL. not sure if there is options for it in there or not. I will look. I found the frontend nice for loading games, but don't like it for some configuring. There is a large lack of documentation on what this and that does. The config file has some comments and such that helps me along …

Re: Game Config Files

in DOS
Is there a way to have an append config file, so you can list only a couple configurations that will override the default one? If so, users could submit these files to a website (where nobody except for the less lazy dos freaks & unsupported enthusiasts) would browse through. They could all be …

Re: Game Config Files

in DOS
I think you misunderstood my post. Its all there if read carefully. I have not brought up the case of personal preference. Sometimes games need tweaking to work. They need tweaking because the DEFAULT PREFERANCES do not produce a game that is nice to play. I suppose you are right, one person could …

Re: Game Config Files

in DOS
While, I just read this article: http://ipggi.wordpress.com/2008/03/16/dosbox-graphic-and-machine-emulation-cga-vga-tandy-pcjr-hercules/ It seems to suggest (or really out right states) that some games can only be played with different graphic cards, something that is consistent from one PC to …

Game Config Files

in DOS
To start off, I want to declare that I don't know too much about configuring DOXBOX games to work well. but I have done a couple reasonably well. My Question Would it be possible to attach configuration options (or perhaps overrides) on the website so someone could just download the config options …

Re: Bullfrog games and lag

Is it ipxnet that is used for multilayer? Would it be possible to implement a .bz2 compression or some other compression algorithm to reduce the size of the information being transported? So, games meant for LAN play could be more easily played over the Internet? Dr. Sassafras

IPX over Internet

I have tried to find an IPX tutorial on how to set up my machine to work over the internet. I have found a couple of tutorials on how to setup a ipx network on a LAN, and it has worked well. Does anyone know of a good tutorial on how to set up my dosbox ipx to work over the internet? I am running …
