From the Karateka notes: Start DosBox with the directory path containing the Karateka game files. Then, once running, mount that same directory as your floppy drive A:\. Finally run the Karateka.exe file. Otherwise the game will not find the files it normally looks for on a floppy diskette (i.e. …

I tried messing with the scaler options, the game runs really fast, just the sound gets lagged. I think it must be a KDE thing. Anyway I just set up my icon to run dosbox as root, and this seems to fix all the sound problems ive been having so I'm satisfied. 😎

Okay, I tried running dosbox as root, and this fixes the problem. Very strange. I guess I'll just suid root the dosbox executable for a work-around. Anyone else have this problem and know what could be causing it. Strange that it works for root but not a normal user.

The sound in wolfenstein 3d is fine until you open a few doors or just play for a few minutes then the sound starts getting jumpy. Anyone else notice this behavior?

I tried compiling with the above configure options and I still get the error. I even tried compiling with g++296 to see if it was a compiler bug and that didn't help either. Below is a list of libraries its linked against. Perhaps its an SDL bug? What version of SDL are you using? $ ldd ./dosbox …

This is a wierd bug, when I compile dosbox with debugging enabled the bug goes away. Compiling normally the bug shows up again. setting memsize to anything less than 32 works, setting it to 32 or greater causes the crash.

Okay, I started adding option one section at a time and found out the specific option on where it crashes. When I have: memsize=32 enabled under the [dosbox] section, dosbox will crash. All other options seem to work fine.

dosbox crashes every time I run it with a .conf file. I'm not sure what the deal is, I tried just creating a simple .conf file with "foo" in it and it crashes. The dosbox source code does not come with a default dosbox.conf file either. I tried using one from a windows box and it still crashes. I …
