Microsoft has released early MS-DOS versions as open source on GitHub

It happened just recently. Do you think it can assist DOSBox' code?

This forum has been ported to phpBB, but DOSBox's home page still links to the old link. Please fix this to DOSBox.

The tool (not tools) is only good for its own texts. Anyway (assuming that's the case), can you add the statement "no bidi support" to readme.txt's language section?

I take your word that the sources also ignore keybrd4.sys. I just wonder why.

No, I meant if no KL files are around does it look for UZ inside keyboard.sys, then in keybrd2.sys, then in keybrd3.sys and finally in keybrd4.sys? wd wrote: the .sys (keyboard/keybrd2/keybrd3) over the internal-compiled (.sys import) ones. What's the latter?

If I put all four sys files, does DOSBox just look for UZ in all of them until it finds it?

FreeDOS's KPDOS project states: kpdos.htm wrote: (13) FreeDOS does not handle bidi scripts natively. A proper bidi text editor is required. I've tried a certain bidi script in DOSBox and experienced the same problem. Can you make it official in DOSBox too whether it handles bidi scripts natively or …

I want, for example, the command keyb uz to require keybrd3.sys and not uz.kl.

However, I've got my hands on HEBEGA.CPI (it was also previously attached in this topic) For those who need this file, you no longer need to hope it's still available in some ancient sites. FreeDOS' CPIDOS project has released their own ega17.cpx which covers Hebrew 862 (and ega18.cpx which covers …

Example: For the file UZ.KL (keyboard layout for Uzbekistan) specify "keyboardlayout=uz" in the DOSBox configuration file. The integration of keyboard layout packages (like keybrd2.sys) works similar. Alas, keyboardlayout=keybrd2 fails and keyboardlayout=keybrd2.sys gets DOSBox stuck. keyb.com …

I don't understand your cynicism. If you provided any information here, I'd be happy to write a page about it in the Wiki, like I did many times in the past.

you are using a bit different from most people :) I just run the defaults. How are the defaults not the default way? maybe read up on the -userconf parameter The manual neither defines "user's specific configuration file" (it originally misses a ') nor explains what happens without it. In actuality …

where is/what is profile's folder? Also, it sometimes insists on putting mapper-0.74.map in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\DOSBox\ - it did not happen in older versions with the same games. where is dosbox? %programfiles%\dosbox\ how do you start dosbox? %programfiles%\dosbox\dosbox. …

I use XP SP3. My games look like %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\games\DOS\gameX\ If the GameX folder itself contains just mapper-0.74.map (or no DOSBox files at all), then DOSBox ignores it, and saves changes to the profile's folder. If it contains dosbox.conf (even a dummy one), then it saves changes …
Re: 0.74's keymapping
Posted on 2010-05-12, 14:53
Ok, here's the trick. You must use a local dosbox.conf file - even a dummy (i.e. empty) one - in order to save the mapping locally. Having a dummy dosbox.conf around is a special requirement that wasn't needed in previous versions. But another problem is that once you do this and exit, using CTRL-F1 …

But, using the default config, how come Game X saves it in its own folder, while Game Y saves it in the profile's folder?
0.74's keymapping
Posted on 2010-05-12, 13:38
v0.74 ignores old mapper.txt files. I've had to re-define my entire archive manually. The new files are called mapper-0.74.map which mean they too may not work in newer versions. Also, it sometimes insists on putting mapper-0.74.map in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\DOSBox\ - it did …
