Did you set up IPX in DOSBox?

You'd think DOSBox isn't needed on Win9x 😉

The official DOSBox does not access the parallel port. Have a look at my homepage.

I just tested it in real hardware before reading your update - vsync.com doesn't work there. My suggested fix is to write 0x20 to 3c0 after you are done updating the PEL. Writing 0x33 is illegal I think.

Change #define SERIAL_DEBUG to 1 in serialport.h. After recompiling DOSBox you can add debugging parameters to the serial port config string i.e. serial1=modem dbgtr. The output will be captured as file in the CAPTURE directory.

Installers might be real-mode and thus crawl along at 3000 cycles with the default settings.

Should this be in the DosBox patches section? As you like. or perhaps make it into cvs). too hackish at some places

Maybe try with my experimental VGA patch an play with the ibmtiming option... VIDEO - Experimental VGA patch (vgaonly commited) Win32 build only though

127.0.0.1 is the local loopback, not the IP address of your computer.

Is there some strange entry in device manager -> multimedia -> [audio/video]codecs -> properties?

It uses the Porttalk driver to make holes in NT's abstraction. On Win9x it works right away. http://home.arcor.de/h-a-l-9000/test/dosbox_hardwareopl.zip Config options: oplmode=hardware hardwarebase=220 (Hardware I/O-address of your real soundblaster)

> I'd be happy if DOSBox would allow me to use true OPL & CMS chips. Is this a general request or would you like to try out the patch? I've sent the S3 bios to wd. Got a lot more computer waste too 😉

d) get a low latency connection 😉 Those games were not made for the Internet lags. Depends on how they are implemented.

a) check if the game is the same version on all sides. b) make sure the cycles are not set too high on either side.

> You need to run at the same cycles=##### as each other to stop de-sync in many older network games. No. Computers had different speed in DOS era too. But if the sound skips it means the time base (CPU speed independent) desyncs and games may respond badly (depends on how they're programmed).

I got the impression now that games using the non-linear VGA memory modes do get a noticeable speed-up. It's also a nice debugging data source since the S3 BIOS and Windows 95 Trio64V+ work with it. We can see all the port and memory access (if somebody decides to finish the DOSBox S3 implementation …
