That depends on what the output/render settings are, which you didn't mention at all. Right. I should have done so. I tried Surface, Overlay and OpenGl; vgaonly and svga_s3; Aspect=true, Aspect=false. All possible permutations of those options, plus: I started with a baseline of Resolution=Original …

I downloaded the most recent build of SVN dosbox, and I discovered that I cannot run things properly on my monitor anymore. If I play something VGA, for example, DARK Forces, Dosbox improperly displays the picture with giant letterboxed borders. I tried to max out the vertical stretch, but it's …

why would someone need to run dosbox as root?

Wow! A DMCA takedown request... for Gravis drivers? That's a new one on me! I wonder what specifically it was about that bundle that triggered them. I would assume that the IP is owned by a patent-troll company. They make money off of trolling things out of ubiquity. It's a disease in this country.

We use the term "stand-alone munt" to refer to running mt32emuqt or mt32emualsadrv or mt32emuwin32drv and then configuring dosbox to output to that through a MIDI port. "Built-in munt" on the other hand refers to using a patched version of dosbox (like dosbox-ece) that can directly emulate the MT- …

If you're on a very slow CPU (I'm thinking of like 2GHz CPUs fron the 2000's), then stand-alone Munt is better, yes. Just for reference, I use mt32emuqt with a debian varient on a Raspberry Pi, and it's absolutely no problem on a RPi3 or above. I think they say the CPU is equivalent to a 2GHz …

So what exactly does the fix do? Is it applicable to other games? I don't think so. In it's current form, it's a replacement .exe for the one packaged with Discworld Noir. As for what it does, I'm not totally sure. Usual candidate would be a 32 bit replacement to make it compatible with 64 bit …

You should be able to make a custom 4:3 resolution. On a 1080p display, you can add a 1440x1080 mode, which is 4:3 but still native (meaning no blurring.) You can then select the "keep aspect ratio" setting in the video driver. I just wanted to add that I did this and it works fine. I use a …

Ok. Thanks. I was afraid of that. I have an original copy of the EGA version I got when it came out, but the disks are FUBAR. RN, the only copies I have are the two CD versions (OG & Monkey Madness) and the LA classics VGA version. Is there anyway for me to play the correct EGA version? Thanks

So, I booted up the 256 version of MI1 in dosbox and set it to EGA. It "worked" but the graphics are all weird and there is obvious corruption all over the place. Is this expected because it just shouldn't work at all, or maybe is it just dosbox that is having trouble with the EGA dithering in …

For Munt on the console only, you can add it to rc.local or create a service file (Debian style sysvinit, openrc, systemd unit file, etc). It's not split into client/server, so if you want to use the qt or X11 interface, you'll need to start it interactively. You can use tools like tmux and logger …
