Those who want to maintain their patches/think they're useful for other people use the sf patches page. It would be nicer to have this information on the DOSBox home page. But anyway, I know your point of view, and I can appriciate your train of thought. I'm thinking of things like the SVGA patch, …

Huh? Just because something isn't committed to the official sources does't mean it's useless or the work isn't appreciated. Still don't get your point. These are called 'non-reconcilable differences' I think :). In short, ih8-whats-his-name wants an official procedure by which patches are included …

Well then add it to your source tree. It's not about adding something to anyone's personal source tree, it's about adding stuff to the official DOSBox tree. And, like commented on here and before in various other threads, it's usually a bit vague what is and what isn't included in DOSBox the …

I can type according to my german keyboard layout just fine - even in the game I can see every "ä" I type correctly. Its the data the game reads from (text?)-files that gets "lost in translation". Are we talking about this Stonekeep? Since it uses graphics for output, code pages and such should not …

Mode 6 seems to offer an incredible number of colors available, if you could change the palette on a per-line basis. Somehow I doubt that it would be possible to do this at 4.77MHz and make a playable game too. I think that would be almost impossible indeed. On the other hand, we don't know until …

that's a problem. the machine communicates via a parallel port. I use a pcmcia/parallel converter.... but guess what. my PC recognizes it, but dosbox obviously doesn't see it..... you think it cannot work with dosbox?? No, it cannot. DOSbox can only use COM ports for direct communication, not …

Well I do agree that "Hostile" towards including an unneeded printer feature for gaming is the wrong word. Indifferent would be a better word I'm tempted to say that 'hostile' is the better word, as though it started as indifference, asking them currently about printer support works like a red flag …
