Re: Windows 8 + DOSBox + GeForce 660 = DDraw Won't Filter?

I think that was Gulikoza's reason for doing the D3D patch...I have a Radeon card and OpenGL wasn't all that slow, but I use D3D nowadays.

In my case, a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion; as for hardware synths, I'm not sure, though you can use it as a MIDI controller (if the synth has the connections) to drive software that can use SoundFonts, such as FL Studio and Reason.

why DirectDraw was better for you? On my old XP system, OpenGL mode crashed all the time with DOSBox. :P No problems yet with it on my new Win8 system though. :) Do you have DirectX 9 installed, and does it make a difference? I don't think DirectX 9 properly installs if DirectX 10+ is present, …
Re: Strange error when trying to install games from mounted cd drive
Posted on 2013-05-09, 04:35
The error does not originate from DosBox but from... a) Really poor mountings and/or b) From what I gather in your post...a lack of permissions. Here's for a: If you only mount a CD-Rom (as C, nonetheless) the install program won't find a hard drive to install to... So mount c c:\somedir mount d d:\ …

If placed in the autoexec section put it in it's own line and without the dash. I.e Copy code to clipboard 1 [autoexec] 2 mount c c:\mydosgames 3 c: 4 cd somegame 5 somegame.exe 6 exit

I don't know where you got joya.dat from, it's not part of DosBox... Fine tune the cycles...though it sounds weird it isn't recognized with timed=false, what does the DosBox console say with that setting? What's they joystick type set in dosbox.conf?

The link for the soundfont in overclockers is no longer working :(. I have a ChoriumRevA soundfont, but I'm not sure it's the same you used. The MD5 hash of the one I have is 3b3ccb921d9bf29992a174a3315ff723 Oh yes that reminds me: It was removed one day and I received an email about copyright or …

Re: Which is the fastest dos DPMI extender in dosbox?
Posted on 2013-05-02, 21:24
It's way better to program, just for dosbox, instead of all those different mobile devices. I'd say the big players are either Android based or iOs based...and at least Android can use NDK...iOs programming is some form of C. This could probably lead to: -Develop your application properly …

Re: P4 and Core 2 in DOSBox

That P4 probably has an AC'97 "codec" audio card...in reality, that's the CPU working, also, on a multicore system when only one core gets extremely loaded the total CPU usage won't reach 100% (look at the attached pic. I'm using ~100% of one core).

The game was perfectly playable on a 286... Other than that, you don't have an MT-32, do you? Maybe that wavetable chip doesn't like the game or the other way around?
