I remember having to use a utility to explicitly switch to CGA mode before playing Digger (the game with the popcorn background music).

You probably don't have a codec that works, but I tried your video on my ZMBV64 build and it crashes it with an access violation, which means the problem is the video. Did you not close the video (stop capture) before closing/exiting dosbox? If you don't the video won't be saved properly. VLC does …

I think you should narrow down exactly what the differences in behaviour are with files created before/after r4314 before you start shouting about regressions, sounds to me like your VLC is just broken.

The posted file is broken and has not been written correctly, probably because your libc is not POSIX compliant: The fseek() function shall allow the file-position indicator to be set beyond the end of existing data in the file. If data is later written at this point, subsequent reads of data in the …

A GUI would be counter-intuitive as most options cannot be changed on-the-fly and require the program to be restarted to take effect.

Partitions don't have "sector sizes". It's a physical aspect of the disk which cannot be changed and there is no "legacy mode" which lets you select which size a drive uses. A drive has either 4KB sectors or 512 byte sectors, nothing to do with how it is partitioned will change that.

Re: Descent's 'demo' mode?
Posted on 2020-02-01, 13:44
Demo playback is like regular game mode but with all the AI, input and physics systems turned off - all events are read from the demo file instead. There's a few bugs that make things act different when they're "forced" actions instead of being triggered normally, and sometimes there's visual …
Re: Can't turn on DMA mode

If it has a 3.3/5V jumper on it, it likely needs to be set to 3.3V for DMA modes to work.

That would put you over the limit (and make MSDOS freeze), use 1023:255:63 instead.

Re: SCSI2SD - Configuration of SD Card to use multiple partitions
Posted on 2020-01-30, 08:50
Here's what's happening: You're putting an MBR/Partition table in sector 0, with the four 1GB partitions. The IBM can't see this partition table because of the way you've allocated the space to the virtual SCSI drives (and if it did it wouldn't be able to use it, since partitions can't span multiple …

Re: Wrong colors on BIG ENDIAN in games/apps which use 15,16 or 32bit video modes

Nearly everything in hardware.cpp is endian-unsafe. Do not listen to a wav/avi recorded on a big-endian system unless you want to blow your speakers. The AVI framework stuff was all rewritten before xmas so it will probably all get fixed at the same time.

The data going out is not the problem, it is the data being fed into the scalers. 8-bit mode still outputs as 16/32/multiple-byte words, the LUT isn't passed to SDL (even though the code is still present to do so). I can see at least 2 bugs in the PMAKE defs unrelated to endianness and the …

You don't know what you're talking about. The wii doesn't have any little-endian video modes. I already told you DOSBox doesn't output 8-bit - that means when the video mode is 8-bit, DOSBox is sending 16 or 32-bit output to SDL (depending on default desktop depth)... If it were the wrong format, …
