There's also this small Windows program called MIDI File Converter that changes between MIDI file types: http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/progs/software.htm
Re: Resolution/Aspect Ratio settings for a widescreen

Use the following: fullscreen=true fullresolution=1920x1200 fulldouble=true output=ddraw # apparently doesn't work in Vista - try opengl, overlay or openglnb instead aspect=true scaler=none
Re: Is it true the newer video cards do not support 640 by 480 resolution ?

I could set my XP desktop to 320x200 with my NVidia card if I wanted to. XP hides modes under 800x600 from the basic display settings menu. Use the advanced menu for better control.

127.0.0.1 always refers to "this computer". If you have two computers, PC1 and PC2, on PC1, 127.0.0.1 means PC1, and on PC2, 127.0.0.1 means PC2 - obviously you cannot connect to another computer with that address. You have to find out the IP address of the host computer (the one where you run …

The following settings give me what you describe (I'm on Windows XP with an NVidia gfx card). fullscreen=true fullresolution=1680x1050 # this is important output=opengl # opengl,openglnb,ddraw all work, surface will give you a small image surrounded by black aspect=true # this is important for games …
Re: Scaling, aspect ratios and Normal4x revisited
Posted on 2008-05-22, 15:55
Besides, openglnb doesn't do the aspect correction properly (i.e. with bilinear scaling, the "nb" standing for "no bilinear" after all) which is why the screenshot you linked to looks pretty horrible to me. Nearest Neighbour MUST be done with the aspect ratio intact (like MAME does it with the …
Re: Scaling, aspect ratios and Normal4x revisited
Posted on 2008-05-22, 15:38
output=openglnb _should_* give you nearest neighbor scaling to an arbitrary resolution (defined by fullresolution and windowresolution), so if you want "normal4x" for a 320x200 game, use aspect=true, fullresolution=1280x960, output=openglnb, scaler=none and you'll get your game scaled to 1280x960 …
Re: Upgrading Terminator: Future Shock to SVGA, need HELP
Posted on 2008-05-22, 15:05
12th bit or bit12? Sorry for the ambiguity. The installer ANDs the result with 0x0800 (so I guess it's bit 12 instead of 12th bit) and checks if the result is 0 and jumps accordingly. Here's the disassembly, if you're interested: 0180:1A3C25 CD21 int 21 0180:1A3C27 7218 jc 001A3C41 ($+18) 0180: …

Took me a while to figure out how to run MS-DOS inside DosBox to get access to the nice debugger :^) MS-DOS 6.22 returns 0x8C2 in EDX, i.e. the 12th bit is set. CF is cleared - no error.
Re: Upgrading Terminator: Future Shock to SVGA, need HELP

I managed to upgrade Future Shock to SVGA using Skynet's installer in Dosbox with the debugger enabled. The reason the installer doesn't work is that it thinks "C:" is a remote drive*. Here's how to do it. Start up the debugger version of Dosbox and start the Skynet installer. Go up to the point …
Re: Virtual PC?
Posted on 2008-05-12, 18:17
I had to resort to VirtualPC once since I couldn't get past one difficult place in Prince of Persia 2 and I needed the "save state" feature of VirtualPC ;) The sound was bad and performance worse than Dosbox. I've also tried other, performance hungry dos games (such as Network Q RAC Rally) in …
Re: How to get a sharp full screen without black border?
Posted on 2008-05-12, 18:03
"No I think it is something to do with "no buffering"." Perhaps, but at least for me the difference between opengl and openglnb is that opengl uses bilinear interpolation for resizing and openglnb uses nearest neighbor (=blocky and sharp). edit: sdlmain.cpp: 1073-1079 #if C_OPENGL } else if (! …
Re: How to get a sharp full screen without black border?
Posted on 2008-05-12, 17:53
Try: fullresolution=1280x800 output=openglnb aspect=false scaler=none It stretches the image to 1280x800 without blurring and applying aspect ratio correction. I just tried it in Wolf3d and it worked fine (i.e. Dosbox didn't add any borders and the picture was 16:10 and sharp both in fullscreen and …

Re: Connecting MT-32 with a MIDI-USB cable for DosBox?
Posted on 2008-04-07, 09:20
The USB MIDI interface will be of more use because it will work on any computer with a USB port, not just one with a Sound Blaster. It should work fine with Dosbox as long as you set the Microsoft MIDI Mapper to the USB MIDI Interface instead of SB Live! Synth or MS Software Synth. You can do this …

Ctrl-alt-f8 records MIDI. If the game music is OPL (adlib, sound blaster) or digital audio (gus, sound blaster), it won't be recorded with Ctrl-alt-f8. Ctrl-alt-f7 records OPL commands (you can play them back later with adplug for example) and ctrl-f6 records digital audio (including synthesized OPL …

I don't think Crusader uses the OPL chip at all. The music is tracker instead of MIDI.
Re: Privateer music glitch
Posted on 2008-03-20, 03:45
I just had the same problem and apparently it's a Privateer bug. It happens if you don't have a joystick plugged in, so the Dosbox solution is to not use joystick=none (i.e. joystick=2axis is fine). Privateer also requires timed=false (otherwise your cursor will drift and you can't calibrate your …
