dosbox config: fullscreen=true fullresolution=1366x768 output=opengl aspect=true Should do the trick. You can also try fullresolution=0x0 (picks your desktop resolution) and output=ddraw (uses directdraw instead of opengl).

it was almost exactly half way around the world from me and as my sub arrived it vanished That's weird. Terror sites shouldn't disappear if a sub is heading for one. I used that to coax the missions into daylight. Send a Barracuda at them to delay for a few hours until it's daytime and then send …

The user agent string is provided by the web browser. You can make your windows web browser tell the web server it's an Apple II computer. Or you could make your DOS web browser identify itself as Windows.

Wild guess, but you might have to press the button on your keyboard where the plus key would be on an American keyboard. Try the key next to backspace (and minus would then be the key to the left of that). If that doesn't work, set keyboardlayout=none in the dosbox config and try again.

I don't think you can make Dosbox distort the image into the wrong aspect ratio.

With a text editor like pico or nano - I don't know what's installed on N900 by default. You can also edit the config file outside xterminal by using some non-terminal text editor like gedit.

So I make the directory in xterminal? I type in mkdir dosbox and press return and nothing happens ( presuming this is correct ) Mkdir doesn't output anything if it succesfully creates a directory. If you try it again, it should complain that the directory already exists. So now you have the …

I don't have a Linux installation at hand but I'll try to walk you through anyway. You've probably installed dosbox from some repository. Ideally it should have installed 0.74, but you seem to have 0.73. When you start xterminal, it probably starts in your home directory. Make a directory called …

Why cant there be a front end for this like Scumm? Or D-Fend on the PC. No one's made one 😉 The problem is when I enter cd ./dosbox I get the folowing error in xterminal - can't cd to ./dosbox Did you create that directory before trying to chdir to it?

I don't think Blake Stone has "proper" quicksave. Loading a game puts you at the start of a floor. edit: oops, manual p26: F8 = quick save and F9 = quick load

Another solution is to install Windows 95 or 3.1 in Dosbox. You can then use the Windows MIDI player to play back MIDI with FM synth. I tried it and e.g., Age of Empires sounds just like in the 90s! Windows 3.1 is easier to install because it doesn't need a hard drive image, but it needs additional …

I can think of one prominent abandonware site that rather openly argued in favor of redistributing their DRM-free offerings. A change in position would be quite understandable. I don't see how adding DRM is going to change anything. Someone's going to crack the releases and distribute them anyway. …
