Re: Ultima VII Earthquake effect (screen shaking)

Also sorry to dredge this up again, but as the first part of Ultima 7 got this fix, I wondered if the second part, Serpent Isle, needed/could receive this fix.

There are a few builds of DOSBox on the market, one of which is aDosBox. The others, if I remember right, are not free. AnDosBox and DosBox Turbo are available and work to some extent, depending on your device. If the keyboard you are referring to is physical, it may work, depending on the IME. If …

It hasn't been implemented in the official releases. It's probably just one of those little things that's taken a back-seat to more important work.
Re: Trying to connect to a BBS running in a dosbox
Posted on 2012-01-19, 08:23
DOSBox is currently limited to 4 serial ports. Users will experience busy signals like we used to. You could use some external port redirection program to direct incoming connections to an open port. Synchronet kinda does this by addressing clients by the TCP socket address. Any of the multi-line …

But if that's the case and the DOSBox emulated modem is taking care of everything doesn't that mean that the NE2000 emulation (which appears to require the Megabuild, if I'm not mistaken) is not necessary?[/quote] The NE2000 emulation is a TCP/IP passthrough for applications and games that look for …

And does ProComm also allow URLs in the "phone number" field? The fact that you have to tinker with DOSBox's emulated NIC at all very strongly suggests that both of these programs are using some kind of TCP/IP networking (yes, they had that in the early 1990's) rather than the Hayes modem commands …
Re: which original dos apps are "no-no's"
Posted on 2011-07-11, 01:33
You'll find any program in there that would be "dangerous" to use on a live system (like FDISK) will have no effect on DOSBox, unless you're working off of a disk image. DOSBox does not emulate a whole computer, just the parts that make games run. Since it's self-contained, except for the mounted …
Re: WIN 7 & DOSBOX & USB-SERIAL Port
Posted on 2011-07-11, 01:07
Looking at the dosbox.conf I generated, when you specify a serial port, you can address it as COM#. The adapter you have should either have software or Windows may have it already that will give it a COM# address. When you specify the serial port in DOSBox's config file, you just put that in there, …

Thanks, hal, but that version exhibited the same behavior. However, 0.73 stock works! Something broke in 0.74.
Re: Socket inheritance

Yeah, that was a reply to you, Tark. As far as that patch goes, it was merged into the current code a version or two back. It was the socket inheritance itself that was included in that patch. I'm not sure if something happened that is interfering with it, or if there was other patches involved, but …

Care to swap notes? Like, OS, DOSBox version, command line? TechGurl appears to be attempting this or, from the sounds of it, may already have it working, but is attempting to keep DOSBox from drawing a window. I have Windows Server 2003 R2 x64, and I've tried both stock 0.74 and the Megabuild …
Re: telnet > linux > dosbox > l.o.r.d.
Posted on 2011-07-05, 03:51
I'm kinda working in a remotely similar situation. You can set the SDL renderer to null in the command line, so it doesn't spawn a new window. If by session, you mean have DOSBox output text directly to the executing shell, then I'm pretty sure you can't as DOSBox renders graphically, even when it's …
Re: Socket inheritance
Posted on 2011-06-29, 21:31
This looks to be old, as it references your patch, which was incorporated into DOSBox and is mentioned in the documentation for 0.74. The rest details how to get the BBS/telnet host to execute a DOSBox session with the socket inheritance, but does not detail anything involving the FOSSIL settings or …
Socket inheritance
Posted on 2011-06-29, 12:01
I've been toying with using DOSBox to run the door games my GameSrv system has. Originally, I have a 32-bit Windows running on my server, but have since switched to a 64-bit version for the extra RAM. This, of course, alienated all the 16-bit software. Using the socket inheritance of DOSBox and a …
Re: Virtual COM ports from virtual machines for a BBS?
Posted on 2010-09-25, 08:39
Just thought I'd let you all know, after some testing with Virtualbox, I came to the conclusion that the program is a bit too much for my little P4 1.8Ghz/2GB DDR server. Dual DOSBox sessions(on top of everything else it does...) is pretty taxing, but working. I thought I'd tried this before and …
Virtual COM ports from virtual machines for a BBS?
Posted on 2010-09-08, 00:43
I run a WWIV 4.30 BBS off of an old laptop with a null-modem cable to my server which in-turn runs Telnet BBS server which is not intended for this use, but works as a modem emulator/telnet interpreter. The BBS has no idea the data being fed to it is not from an actual modem, nor does it care. I …

Mechwarrior in 0.74

I know a fix was listed for Mech Warrior for Tandy, but even using that video mode, it still crashes after the 3D portion of the game is finished(BTECH in the window title). It just switches to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. The window title lists MW_MAIN as the program running when this …
Re: Serial modems

***UPDATE*** The 2 modems I was dealing with are officially dead. I received a Creative Modem Blaster and it responds as I thought it should. After playing around with it, I attempted to make a direct connection between it and the other computer modem (no phone line, no dial tone, just "&c0" on …
Re: Serial modems
Posted on 2008-05-30, 05:43
The laptop I used had no additional hardware attached and was running in DOS 6.22. As for the handshake, I don't follow. I thought the handshake process was done on before data could pass between modems, not before the modem would feed back text to the local terminal. I did some tests involving a …
