Contrary to belief System Shock does support a joystick. I bought this game back in the DOS Days and had hours of fun playing it- with a joystick, a CH Flightstick Pro. Later I got the enhanced CD version & played it again. Now in my nostalgia & my new Linux System I am trying to play it in DOSBox. …

The example in the documentation does NOT work! Linux Mint - Ubuntu based /media/cdrom does not exist /dev/cdrom does not work /media/user accesses the mount point, then 'cd ' but this confuses programs expecting stuff in the root directory of the CD /media/user/ CD's are mounted in Ubuntu/Mint by …

What worked in DOS thru WinXP will not work in DOSBox. DOSBox has issues with the serial adapter. A single transfer then restart is unacceptable. I give up!

everything is working now the 'chmod' alone fixed things but there is more as mentioned in the previous post this all relates to the HP48GX & the DOS PDL Programmers Utility and KERMIT this has been a fun adventure as are all my Linux endeavours

this is also in the attachment: a bit problematic with some programs I am using one program works with another or both separately one can be a shell to the other PDL -> PDLKERM when one is run the other no longer can access the serial adapter one requires the 'mode' command to configure the port ' …

Found a fix... :happy: …

Been away for a while. Many other things to do... I'll give MSWAP a try. That link to another post was no use. DOSBox does what it wants regardless of what the window state is. I'm NOT touching anything SOURCEFORGE!!! I used to do them a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. But NOT now! …

I am using Linux Mint. I already have the system set to swap mouse buttons but DOS Box does what it wants to. I use a left-handed mouse/trackball.

Is there a way to swap the Mouse Buttons? I have not found any way to do this. I use a Left-Handed Mouse, always have, and have had no issues swapping the buttons all the way back to the real DOS.

So far it's good. :happy: Finally got the screen size to change in a window after much tweaking. Found a site that had what I needed. BIG ISSUE! :exclamation: Going full-screen the brightness goes FULL! Coming back to windowed mode it is still FULL until the system settings are adjusted. computer: …

The README is a bit vague as anything else I found. This right? serial1=directserial realport:ttyUSB0 How do you configure it to COM1? I went thru !@#$% getting it enabled in Linux. lsusb Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0c45:6321 Microdia Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 006 …
