Disk images should be of the standard type, where the file size matches the capacity. Perhaps you created a sparse image, one that dynamically resizes, which is not supported by DOSBox. The BXIMAGE tool from Bochs is what I've used, and you should be able to find suitable empty images via search …

If you use IMGMOUNT with the HDD image and BOOT with the floppy images as I wrote in the example, it works for me in 0.74(-3) and SVN. It's actually the same method recommended to FORMAT a blank HDD image and install DOS on it. Perhaps you use IMGMOUNT with the floppy images and then use "BOOT -l a" …

As I mentioned, if you disable XMS and EMS in DOSBox settings then you won't get the XMS error with RAC. I'm unaware of anyone else with problems creating an account on SourceForge, but perhaps you can contact the admins there to see what the issue is. There is a section of the forum named "DOSBox …

In vga_memory.cpp you can find the MMIO handler that turns memory writes into port writes as part of the XGA emulation.

Changing CP with the DOS function is indeed not supported, but you can use the KEYB program on the Z: drive to change CP. It appears DOSBox-X supports changing CP via the DOS function only with TTF output, which I suppose is okay if you don't need graphics modes.

You are apparently concerned less with aspect ratio than with the appearance of the text , because the first screenshot has corrected 4:3 aspect and the second does not. At the risk of repeating myself: In 0.74(-3) the pixel aspect ratio of text modes is intentionally forced to 1.0 in order to avoid …

Hmm, windowed does have corrected aspect, unless some strange setting gets in the way. Maybe look at your windowresolution= setting, or try default settings.

What machine= and output= setting are you using with SVN? There is an issue with the aspect correction of 350-line modes, which includes text modes, with machine=ega, but other machine types are not affected. Try the output=opengl with glshader=sharp settings for sharper aspect-corrected text.

You could make an IRQ 1 (INT 9) handler, taking control of it away from BIOS, and put keys into the BIOS key buffer according to your own design. I guess you'd only write a cursor key into the buffer when it is first pressed, not if it repeats, thus disabling auto-repeat; and then write a center …

You have to *execute* an alternate shell (command interpreter) in order to replace DOSBox's internal shell, and I don't see you doing that in your example. You can use the COMMAND.COM from MS-DOS 5.0 or 6.22, but to use the one from 6.22 you must first use the command "VER SET 6 22" to change the …

In 0.74(-3) the pixel aspect ratio of text modes is intentionally forced to 1.0 in order to avoid interpolation, because the interpolated symbols can look quite ugly on lower host resolutions depending on output method. However, with the prevalence of higher host resolutions now, SVN does correct …
