Re: Dosbox & Serial port problems

You say that it only worked on the older build because you increased the cycle rate. Do you mean decreasing? Have you tried the different DosBox cores/cycles in the latest CVS's?
DOS games with HDR (well sorta)
Posted on 2005-10-27, 04:21
Output=Opengl Shader=HDRish.pss modified Graphics Card=X800 5.8 drivers. Scaler=normal2x (Shaders can only be applied via Opengl and OpenGLNB runs like crap so don't blame me for the crappy quality) On most DOS games it pretty much has the same effect as increasing the gamma..... Monkey Island 1 …

User friendly DosBox.conf
Posted on 2005-10-26, 22:22
I decided to create a more user friendly dosbox.conf because some of the .conf entries do not make any sense from a user standpoint. Feel free to tell me how FUGLY it looks or to provide suggestions. NOTES Don't ask about supposed duplicate or unecessary entries. Ex: [****MEMORY****] # memsize -- …

Type in HELP and then it's FIXMBR or FIXBOOT IIRC. Been a long time since I played around with recovery console.

Well yeah, Opengl eats up more cycles than Surface/Overlay/Ddraw by alot. At least it does on my ATI. Simply load up DosBox and Task Manager and switch between different output methods and monitor DosBox processor usage to determine which output method has the least usage of processor cycles.

That does bring up a question I've been meaning to ask..... How far can Dynarec in DosBox go? I've been meaning to perform extensive benchmarking comparing NTVDM to DosBox but I haven't got around to it yet.

for Windows games that use DirectDraw yeah.....for DOS games it works well too but you'll get crappy sound. Better than nothing tho which is what we had before DosBox came along.....

Boulder Dash 1,2 (Booter) + Dynamic mode
Posted on 2005-10-24, 02:21
Obviously your not going to want to run this game in Dynamic mode but I was testing out Dynamic mode compatibility today and noticed that Boulder Dash wouldn't work in Dynamic mode (works fine in Normal). You have to press the SHIFT key to start the game. Under Normal core this functions properly, …

I've heard about that but it sounded odd since Ultima and FF don't even go together so I thought mabye someone stuck FF and Ultima on one CD/DVD or something. 😉

uhhh...2mb is plenty of memory. 1024x768x8/8=786,432 bytes. AFAIK, Magic Carpet 2 uses 256 colors which is 8bit. @ 16bit color it's 786,432x2=1,572,864....which as you can see is far less than 2mb. and MG2 only uses 640x480 so memory amount is of course not your problem. Magic Carpet 2 runs fine @ …
