Re: Game saving?

Posted on 2008-12-18, 14:13

I'm confused. What was that supposed to tell me? I assume it means: Please say which game you're having this problem with. Hard to say what's wrong without that information. Please tell us exactly, and completely, all the commands you used to mount, start the game. Again this is vital for …

Re: Fifa International Soccer 1994, first fifa

First try if setting IRQ to 7 from CONFIG.EXE really won't work. Leave all other settings alone, they are already correct. I'd suggest quitting and restarting CONFIG.EXE afterwards to check that the new value was really accepted. If that really doesn't help, go to the [sblaster] section of dosbox. …

Re: Weird resolution

Posted on 2008-12-06, 13:13

Just a wild guess, have you tried fullresolution=1400x1050? 1680x1050 is not a 4:3 resolution, so unless your physical screen pixels are non-square (very unlikely on a modern LCD display), black bars on the left and right would be expected. 640x350 is the EGA highest resolution mode and was retained …

Re: Numlock problem

Posted on 2008-11-12, 06:09

You could try ykhwong's build: http://ykhwong.x-y.net/page.htm This build integrates several experimental patches, however, which might or might not work. There used to be a straight CVS build offered by AEP but that doesn't seem to exist any more. It is pretty easy to compile DOSBox yourself if …

Re: Numlock problem

Try using a build that uses source code from after the 10th of September. I just saw that a patch "fix numlock/capslock status on focus loss" was checked in on that day. EDIT: Just to make this clear, I'm not a DOSBox developer myself. I just checked the CVS logs.

Re: Keyboard/Sound Problems with amd64 Ubuntu 8.10

I've not checked Ubuntu 8.04 yet, but I've distilled down the difference between the two keycode sets. Since we're talking DOS here I've removed all the keys that don't exist on the 101/102 key MF-II. Here's the old XFree86 set: = 109; = 113; = 111; = 92; = 110; = 114; = 106; = 97; = 99; = 107; = …

Re: Keyboard/Sound Problems with amd64 Ubuntu 8.10

Alright, seems like evdev on Ubuntu 8.10 uses the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev to map evdev key names to X scancodes. I'm attaching the file here. Does this look like a likely culprit? Especially, UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT are mapped to 111 116 113 114. By the way, the keypad keys are not …

Re: Keyboard/Sound Problems with amd64 Ubuntu 8.10

Posted on 2008-11-03, 01:59

Setting usescancodes=false is not really an option if you don't use a U.S. English keybord layout in Linux. Arrow keys work, but a lot of the rest of the layout gets screwed up then. Any idea on how to get to the root of the problem? (beyond "don't use Ubuntu" or "switch your Linux to U.S. English …

Re: Old games + macs = playable?

Posted on 2008-10-15, 22:34

Not with DOSBox I fear. DOSBox is made for DOS games, not Windows games. It can run some Windows 3.1 games with a copy of Windows 3.1 and some tweaking, but it's simply not the tool for running Windows 95 or newer games. Most Windows 95 and newer Windows games run well enough in Windows XP. I'm not …

Re: Question about joysticks

Posted on 2008-09-26, 01:08

To get back on topic: As long as your old joystick has no more then two functionally different buttons, the type you select on the adapter should be the most basic one, no matter which company made it. All those old sticks are compatible with each other. The special types are for special joysticks …

Re: DOSBox 10 million downloads compared to..

Posted on 2008-09-23, 06:10

What's interesting to me is how small the counts are for the first machines that loomed so large in my mind. In 1986-1988 there were only three kids in my middle school class of about 27 who had access to a computer at home - all of them C64s. And that was at a fairly upscale Catholic school here …
