Which version of DOSBox? How have you mounted the drives in DOSBox? How did you install it? How do you start it? What kind of mouse do you have?

I too installed DOSBox by using the installer from sourceforge, but I am pretty sure there was no 3install.bat inside my DOSBox when I was done. As I said, you must have a magic PC.

Yes. The DTD describes what tags are allowed, what kind of values are allowed in each tag (e.g. a list of predefined values for 'output'). The advantage is that you can build generic XML-validators that can take an XML document, the matching DTD, and check that it is syntactically correct and valid. …

Just as an example, here is the top section of this very HTML-page: As I read it, the DOCTYPE here tells me that yes, this is a form of HTML, more specifically, an extended version of XHTML version 1.1, extended with something that is described in an DTD available at http://www.zetafleet.com/ …

Again, just a quick look. I am not an XML-developer/designer, but I am being exposed to a lot of them in my work. I may be wrong, but the idea of embedding emulator-capabilities(?) inside the XML seems wrong. I believe the correct solution is to include a DOCTYPE attribute in the XML and let that …

Re: Issue with DosBox handling of looping batch-files?
Posted on 2007-11-25, 12:15
Sounds like that loop was simply executing like crazy, making DOSBox suck up all the CPU power of your PC. Guess the real "DOS VM" (NTVDM) was a bit more sensitive to your attempts at breaking out of the loop than DOSBox was. It is a hard thing to fix, except with some heuristic rule that tells …

I didn't really trust that the Commodore PET ROM was really read-only. Suspected that it was the BASIC interpreter that prevented my POKE-commands from changing data in certain areas of the address space. So that was the first thing I tested when learned how to write 6502 machine code. It was ROM 😀 …

Posted on 2007-11-23, 15:41
When I die, it needs to say on my head-stone: He played a lawyer on the 'net. Oh well... I think there is an issue here. No one but the original license holders can change the license terms. So all the stuff that PocketDOS has added to the DOSBox sources needs to stay under GPL. And worse (for …

Only had a cursory look - 2 comments: 1: If possible, add indentations to the XML. I know it adds a few extra bytes to the GPA, but I think it is worth it. 2: I think it is an error to include the dosbox.conf info as verbatim copy of the real config. It will be much easier to adapt to future …

Re: Individualized Shortcuts for Each DosBox Game?
Posted on 2007-11-22, 18:47
You don't put the shortcuts *IN* dosbox.conf. You make a copy of your dosbox.conf, and call it something like AdventuresOfZelda.conf. Next you right-click on your desktop, select New => Shortcut, and browse to your dosbox.exe. When you have selected dosbox.exe, you have to edit the path so it reads …

DBGL is Java-based, so if you can run Java-apps it should work. But I am not sure how well it work with the limited desktop area on a mobile device. Maybe you are better of with a simple menu in DOS to select and run your games?
