Apart from not being useful for games I doubt there is sufficient documentation available on the display adapter. You could hack in a 80x66 VESA mode though if that is useful. An 80x66 text mode that used the full-size 8x14 fonts would be ideal. I'll try to teach myself enough to make the hack, but …
Patch to emulate 1980s full-page monitors?
Posted on 2010-12-12, 20:42
I realize that this may not have any relevance to games, so the answer may be simply "no," but here's the question anyway: In the 1980s and early 1990s there were a number of portrait-orientation full-page CRT monitors, the most popular being the Genius and Genius2 series from Micro Display Systems. …

On Linux and OsX you set environment variables through the command export. So, no not yet right, all of those in one line or an export in front of each line... So like this...?? export CFLAGS='-O2 -arch i386' export CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include' export CXXFLAGS='-O2 -mdynamic-no-pic -arch i386' …

yep, got it. you are missing an export and added to many linebreaks in step 3.... type "export Cflags=... CXXFlags=... That did it! Thank you for catching that. Just to be certain that what I'm doing is exactly what I should be doing, this is now the batch of commands that I paste into the terminal …

First, you're right: lipo -info reports that the architecture is 'x86_64'. Here are the steps I follow, written here as I performed them. For this test, by the way, I don't change anything in the makefiles, as I do when trying to compile statically. (Following your advice, I installed svnX and used …

When compiling, I used the environment vars that you specified in an earlier thread: CFLAGS='-O2 -arch i386' CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include' CXXFLAGS='-O2 -mdynamic-no-pic -arch i386' MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET='10.6' CXX='/usr/bin/g++-4.2' F90FLAGS='-O2 -m32' LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib' OBJC='/usr/bin …
After switching graphic/text mode, last keystroke repeats - any fix?
Posted on 2010-12-11, 05:32
This is a question about an application, not a game, so there may not be any solution to the problem I'm asking about. But if there is a setting in the conf file that might fix it, I would be very glad to hear about it. WordPerfect for DOS 6.x can switch between text mode and graphics mode for …
SVN on OS X - core=dynamic causes segfault
Posted on 2010-12-11, 04:51
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, and I hope it's of some use to someone. I built the latest SVN on OS X using the technique described by Dominus in another thread. When I run it with a conf file that includes [cpu] core=dynamic the app crashes with a segmentation fault. I've …
Re: How to create custom build for OS X?
Posted on 2010-12-11, 04:31
yes, the problem is that SDL is getting compiled with X11. If you want to make it cleaner: sudo port -f uninstall libsdl sudo port install libsdl +universal +no_x11 so best get rid of the other stuff sudo port uninstall dosbox sudo port uninstall libsdl_sound sudo port uninstall libsdl_net This …

That looks perfect. I'm away from my test machine for a few hours, but will try this when I get back. Thank you again - I now understand this whole process far better than I did. By the way, am I right in thinking that I will still need to make the replacement in the LIBS= line in the makefile to …

Yes, proper feedback would have been nice... (because there is asimple switch to force deactivation...) Now I see it: port -f deactivate whatever I mentioned the deactivation problem in an earlier post on this thread, but it seems to have got lost when I went on to report other problems. Here's …

If these files were still present in /opt/local/lib, then you didn't deactivate them as I wrote some posts ago... I think I forgot to report that MacPorts wouldn't allow me to deactivate those files without uninstalling DOSBox first, and I thought (mistakenly, I now see) that I shouldn't uninstall …

SUCCESS! By looking very closely at Dominus's instructions again, and by taking a few extra steps, I succeeded in compiling a statically linked copy of DOSBox SVN under OS X. The extra steps involved brute force methods rather than more elegant methods, but the authors' comments in various …

OK, understood. I didn't want to swap makefiles simply - just to see what I was missing. But I'll abandon this effort until I learn more about it. I've already learned a lot with the help of everyone here, and the next time I ask a question, I'll know how to make better use of the answers. Thanks …

I actually do have Dosbox configuring correctly with SDL_Sound/net not being installed. So you need to find out why that doesn't work for you. Then when you change the makefile in the "LIBS=" section exchange -lz with /opt/local/lib/libz.a and -lpng with /opt/local/lib/libpng.a... At the risk of …

Be very sure that you are not violating any IBM copyrights by using/distributing fonts. Good point. I've written quite a lot about typography in computer magazines, and it's clear that font designs can be copyrighted in some countries (e.g. Deutschland) but not in others (e.g. USA).

Thank you for those instructions. Will test them tonight. My goal is this: I've already created a system that uses the release version of DOSBox to run WordPerfect for DOS 5.1 or 6.2 under OS X, wrapped in an AppleScript application that installs a folder action script which makes it possible to …

Editing the portfile is a waste of time. As I discovered by further experiment. I also tried hex-editing the executable so that it pointed to libraries in the same directory (./libraryname) instead of /opt, but that didn't work either - the executable reported that it couldn't find the library. …
