Re: New user (Win. XP) need help with install and run

Posted on 2007-03-27, 16:56

I would suggest using a frontend like D.O.G. or DBGL, if your a newby to the whole DOSBox experiance. These are programs that provide a graphical interface for running games in DOSBox. If using D.O.G. then just download, extract the package, run DOG and configure the DOSBox version you have. Then …

Re: Enabled screensaver?

Posted on 2007-03-22, 21:17

Well thats easy to fix, here is a small app I compiled a few minutes ago. Just unzip and run. When started, it will set the screensaver to active every second. With active I mean let Windows know it is OK to run a screensaver, not run the screensaver itself. I added a small button to the app so that …

Re: D.O.G. 1.53 Released

I found two additional minor bugs. First, you seem to have written the word "Sure" as "Shure" in your front end. Also, all the languages in the languages.dat file are written in German, meaning that the list of languages display the languages in German. Woops, I didn't, stupid me. Sorry. Will …

Thanks rcBlanke, DBGL too has come along great, it even has already some features I'm only planning to add, like the configureable columns. You are right, Mabus has been silent for a while now. Pitty though, I would have loved to have worked with him as I too developed my frontend in Delphi. And …

Yup you're right, will fix it right away. Was a bug in the routine to add the exit to the conf file. I'll re-upload the official build right now. Edit : Updated the OShare Link, the link from Gadler will follow tomorow. Erik.

Well I always say to people with large databases (10+ profiles) that make the switch, Do not throw away your dfend profiles as they are. Write them to a CD-Rom or so, so that if something goes wrong you still have a backup. D.O.G. has Dfend profile importing capability for all Dfend versions so …

D.O.G. 1.53 Released

Posted on 2007-03-19, 19:53

Well, after a while of bugfixing and adding loads of new features and experimenting with very experimental ones, here is D.O.G. 1.53. The frontend is still available at the currently well known D.O.G. homepage. http://www.freewebs.com/erikgg New features : - USB Flash Drive Capable. - DOSBox 0.58 …

Re: New DOSBox launching application...

Posted on 2007-03-19, 19:38

Oh forgot about it sorry, too much to do. Few comments : - Good Interface - The "..." buttons don't work - There are games wich need a Gravis UltraSound and a SoundBlaster both configured to play Music and digital sounds. So don't generalize too much, you could add an option SB16&UltraSound to the …

Re: DOSBox 0.70 crashes on me

Posted on 2007-03-04, 21:48

wd : didn't DOSBox from 0.65 on do that automatically? I did have DOSBox 0.70 crash on me once by setting the windib value though. But that also happend to me with 0.65 though. Not on my desktop. D.O.G. currently removes that value if a DOSBox 0.65, 0.66 or 0.70 version is run. Erik.

Re: Warcraft 2

Posted on 2007-03-04, 21:42

Glad it works, One warning though if your using 1.53, don't use the music drive. It is built in the Experimental 1.53 version of D.O.G. but it is still in its alpha stage. If used with DOSBox 0.70 then the SDL.dll will be corrupted. By the end of next week I'll release the 1.53 version officially. …

Re: dosbox starter ?

Posted on 2007-03-04, 20:16

Tried 1.5 version of it. To check out the competitors, always do though. Works but isn't 'DFend'-like. I mean it doesn't show a complete list and is a kind of tabbed application. His update function is very interresting. One drawback is that its only available in German as I can remember. There are …

Re: Warcraft 2

Posted on 2007-03-04, 10:06

I don't need to set a label when playing Warcraft 2, i doo need a -ioctl though. And the mount c c:\war2 , change that to mount C C:\ as executing the previous mount-command causes the game to be directly in the base of the mounted virtual drive and some games really don't like it. The only problem …

Re: DOSBox 0.70 speed issue?

Posted on 2007-03-04, 09:49

The SDL.dll from 0.65 isn't compatible with 0.70 or 0.66 as it misses key functions it needs as you saw with the Entry Point Not Found. The SDL.dll from the SDL site is also quite buggy with some settings. The best thing to do is reinstall 0.70 or use the sdl.dll from ykhwongs DOSBox build. If you …

Re: Dosbox 0.7 is out!

Posted on 2007-03-02, 23:50

D.O.G. 1.53rc1 supports the 0.66 versions but the rc2 that will be released soon will be useable with 0.70. 0.70 is already useable with the current experimental D.O.G. build because it inherently uses the latest version of DOSBox if it detects an unknown version string, and this one is compatible …

Re: Tomb Raider 1

Posted on 2007-03-01, 22:51

Glide was an "old" standard for displaying 3D games, like DirectX and OpenGL are the standard now. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_API But using Glide and emulating it, by passing the Glide data to DirectX or OpenGL with some conversions, speeds up some games. Tomb Raider is one of those …
