GTA1 - up arrow "stops" after a while

Posted on 2019-07-18, 15:53

I noticed this problem while playing GTA1 ("high color" version, installed from CD). If you walk forwards (or backwards) for some time, the character suddenly stops and you have to release the up arrow (or down arrow) key and press it again to continue. This only happens in fullscreen mode, and it …

ncurses-devel and pdcurses but it still complains about curses. Is there a solution for this? You only need pdcurses for native code. The header is installed as pdcurses.h in top level include that simply serves as the proxy into include/pdcurses, which you can copy or rename as curses.h. The …

MSYS2 is a surprisingly great tool. I managed to compile both 32 and 64-bit SVN versions of Dosbox on Windows. But I ran into problems when I tried to enable the debugger. How I did it: 0) Installed MSYS2 from the official site https://www.msys2.org/ 1) Start MSYS2, choose either 32-bit or 64-bit …

Another feature that would be useful, I think: Ability to declare variable sizes and arrays with the IV command. For example: IV [seg]:[off] [name] --- this is what we have now IV [seg]:[off] [name] [size] --- declare a variable with a specified size IVARR [seg]:[off] [name] [n_elems] [elem_size] …

the 64 bit version will be slower, but is it such a heavy game you are trying then ? Even my laptop in 64 bit mode on linux gives around Pentium 100 performance. (at least according to one speedtest, others might be different) Thanks guys- I just checked with the "file" command in the terminal The …

These are old posts, but I agree that such features would be highly useful. Especially the ability to set a memory read breakpoint. Would be really nice if debugger has ability to set breakpoint on *read* access on some memory fragment. Something like BPMR [segment]:[offset] [length] E.g. BMPR 0010: …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients Ah, I should have been much more specific! Sorry. I’m looking for a good client for Windows 95 and 98. So far I have found an old version of mIRC that does not require registration, and I can connect, but servers complain about …

Re: Cut & Paste in DOSBox (03-20-2019)

Copy/paste to and from a virtual system is probably not a trivial task to implement anyway... In order to do that, the host system must understand concepts like text fields or file managers inside the guest. In virtualization software like VirtualBox or VMWare, this is achieved with a special …

For example, when hq2x is used (even with the forced option), selecting video mode 800x600x16 in the original GTA causes Dosbox to print a message "Scaler can't handle this resolution, going back to normal" and the game is not scaled. Looks like an arbitrary constraint to me. The relevant constants …

Aren't those based on bilinear interpolation? Bicubic or Sinc should provide somewhat better results. Yes, and bicubic is indeed vastly better for photographic interpolation, whereas for pixel art I consider both methods equally useless. Bicubic interpolation is much slower and it may be difficult …
