But the arm32 ("armhf") build unfortunately now lacks a dynamic CPU core. I will need to fix that. The issue is that configure.ac only recognizes armv6l, armv7l and aarch64. However, host_cpu in this case is armv8l. That's still 32-bit ARM and the ARMV7LE dynamic core should be used. I fixed it …

Yep, thanks. TSR works exactly as you described. Even with the 3D choppiness, It's an improvement overall, I think.

I've tested the following with a few games and it seems to work great (i.e. the same) and with the same configuration file I already had. dosbox-ece-x86_64.AppImage dosbox-ece-aarch64.AppImage Thanks for testing! There was a problem with the 32-bit builds. They would crash when using the dynamic …

I just noticed that the game does actually do something related to vblank. If you increase vertical total in src/hardware/vga_draw.cpp, like force it to a fixed value with: - fps=(double)clock/(vtotal*htotal); + fps=50; The game behaves a bit more normal. For example the animation speed in the start …

The game works for me with default settings (auto-switch to dynamic core in protected mode), and with the core=dynamic setting, in DOSBox 0.74-3 and SVN. Tested with installed game version 16.0 and 17.0e patch. I am using Windows, so perhaps any issue with dynamic core is specific to certain …

I know this thread is from the stone age, but it comes up when I searched for a solution for this game not running in dosbox, and now that I found the solution I thought I'd post it here in case anyone else also lands here through a web search: The dynamic core does not work with this game, even …

Builds for x86 and ARM, both 32-bit and 64-bit are here: https://github.com/realnc/dosbox-ece/releases/tag/latest_build The builds are performed on CircleCI (because they offer ARM build machines, not just x86.)

Wouldn't linking with static libraries be easier? To do that you'd need to manually build all the libraries first. With this approach, you just bundle the libraries provided by Ubuntu 16.04. I might still do that (I already do manual static library builds for dosbox-core.) But for now, let's just …

Yeah, you'll probably have to rename them locally, delete them in gdrive and reupload.

Hello! Sorry if this is an old question (i tried to search it on the forums but i found no answer to it). I have just started to use DOSBox ECE, previously i only used DosBox bundled with steam and gog-games. My question is, is the normal5x scaler completely gone from the latest version of ECE? …

Is BS2 remastered playable? The Steam version crashed to desktop every couple minutes. Completely unplayable. Searching for the issue reveals that apparently it's just how it is on modern systems and nobody bothered fixing it. But they still sell it...

I have noticed that on my screenshot the song title is missing. Apparently it's not a screenshot glitch but my Wine version cannot handle properly GetCharacterPlacement/GetTextExtentPoint32 Win32 functions that the new version is using.

Thank you for the update! I just updated to 6.1 on Linux (running it in Wine.) Works just as well as the previous versions. I wanted to try out the included SimpleGain VST, but I get an error dialog saying I can't load 32-bit VSTs. So it seems the 64-bit download ships with a 32-bit VST. Edit: …

Why don't you just mount track 1? It's usually an ISO file anyway. You can rename the extension from bin to iso, and then edit the cue file to change it there as well (cue files are just text files you can edit with notepad.) This won't give you the audio tracks, but if you only need access to the …
