Re: problems with fullscreen (0.65)

Posted on 2006-05-09, 09:22

Qbix, i can't see why my monitor is the problem, it runs everything else without problems (other emulators like scummv, etc) at all resolutions, only dosbox has the above problems. To me it seems like X can't set the resolution properly. I tried output=openglnb / fullresolution=800x600 but i had the …

Should the developers of an experimental engine put a premium on newbie friendliness? You hint that DOSBox is defective because it doesn't also wipe the noses of newbies that are too lazy to read a small README. premium? we are talking about basic user friendliness here! we didn't ask for a …

I've said it many times before, others have said it as well. This thread is 5 pages long of people giving suggestions. Ofcourse the first suggestion we made was to include (or generate) a default configuration with the distribution. Make dosbox full screen by default so it acts in a way that most …

And why is it so difficult to read the README? If you ask here, you have to search the forums - and read. If you don't find your answer, you are going to ask - and read again. So there is no way around the "reading" part. Why on earth must other people repeat things for you that have been written …

I'm already using 1.0.10rc1 (1.0.10 final is the latest one) which is as new as it gets under Fedora Core 4. I'm also using a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1. Based on my tests, games with have high latency (delays) in audio are games with heavy requirements or special needs. Not necessarily CPU …

At least EOB2 had a better ending that EOB1. The first just said something like Congratulations, you have beaten the game... then you are sitting there staring at a DOS Prompt. It was a big letdown after spending 20-30 hours playing it. oh my god.... i was ready to smash my monitor with the …

. . . This isn't about a default configuration file, or if the default driver letter will be C: or Z:, or even a default mounted directory... I think, what it comes down to, is that the developers just hate people who don't read the readme file. Thats plain racism :happyhappy: . . . i've got an idea …

augnober , i think you've explained what i'm trying to say in much better english. Indeed, if the developers could invest some work on those little changes then it would make dosbox a bit friendlier to new users. neowolf , i think we just have conflicting ideas about software development. Thats not …

I'd like to point out that while most users don't read the readme file, dosbox is indeed badly "packaged" for new users. There is no config file initialy, the user tries and tries looks around and eventualy has to read the readme. Why not just give them a config file during the installation? is it …

Linux vs. Windoze dosbox versions

I'm running both Linux (Fedora Core 4) and WindozeXT Pro on the same computer. I noticed that the windoze version of dosbox has a much better audio responce than the Linux version. Both versions have working audio, with just a slight difference in responce timing. The Linux version seems to have …

PS: does this version support any new …
