Re: output=Opengl for nVIDIA cards ONLY?

Neither can I... anymore :sad: Both are taking close to 100% of CPU but I can run two copies of DOSBox at the same time and then each takes only 50%, both working fine. Before I could not even run one copy without frameskip and I have no idea what changed in the last four days. There was probably …

Re: output=Opengl for nVIDIA cards ONLY?

You know, something is very odd going on. After I tried it in RGBA mode I can run in BGRA. I don't understand this, I did not install anything new in the last few days, did not change any settings. It's almost like there is some state that was left hanging and it cleared up. EDIT: I even rebooted my …

Re: output=Opengl for nVIDIA cards ONLY?

Reopening this old thread. I've decided to take a look as I have ATI and I still remember a thing or two about OpenGL. It did not take long to find the culprit (sdlmain.cpp): #if C_OPENGL case SCREEN_OPENGL: glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, sdl.opengl.texture); glTexSubImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 0, 0, …

Re: Video folded over

The only catch is that you will not be able to print to your printer directly. Your program will print as it normally does but DosBox will output it to a .png file from which you can print to your printer. IMHO, that's better solution anyway. In DOS days a program had to support particular printer …

Re: Wanted - Roland LAPC-1

At least with the latest (0.8.0) version, when you start the game you get "SCUMMVM 0.8.0" on MT-32. I don't think you will get the very first message from LucasArts games which was "Lucasfilm Games" -- that was generated by the executable. Sierra used that display a lot. Legend Entertainment also …

HunterZ, you are absolutely right, I completely forgot about that. Pre-SB16 cards supported only "SB-MIDI" mode which allowed sending and receiving MIDI commands but was not compatible with MPU-401. Looks like some games supported that, many did not. Well, I did not have any MIDI devices then so I …

Re: Wanted - Roland LAPC-1

Pity that interface is ISA only. I don't think PCI or newer USB implementations are "old skool compatible." You might as well use Soundblaster. CM-32L may be better in some respects but if I am not mistaken you will be losing that cool display. IMHO, that's a required part of MT-32 experience. A lot …

Re: Wanted - Roland LAPC-1

MT-32 goes for $35 to $55 on eBay, and it seems that there are a few for sale at any given moment. Be careful to check the shipping -- there are a few Japanese sellers that charge some insane shipping amounts. Pretty much any Soundblaster will work as MPU-401. If you have one of the high-end models …

Re: Dosbox and windows xp stop error 0x0A

Stop 0x0a is "IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL." This is almost definitely a driver bug. One particular case is when driver is not multi-CPU safe -- I've learned this through hard experience with Aureal A3D chip. Try disabling hyperthreading and see if that helps. If it does, search for updated drivers for your …

Re: Dosbox and windows xp stop error 0x0A

I have fully patched XP/SP2, no problems here. It is most likely some device driver issue. Update your drivers to the latest version. In the order of likelihood to cause issues, graphics driver goes first, closely followed by sound. What do you have in your system?
