Ah, I see you have:

09/10/02 I chatted with the DosBox guys, but they don't seem too interested in feature contributions; they said if I noticed bugs I could of course give them fixes. What kind of OpenSource community project is that! 😀

Heh... personally I'd love to see some features from DodGE integrated into DosBox. That is, if they aren't there already. 😉

What features would that be then?

Not entirely certain of ALL the abilities of DosBox, since the Status page is sparse on details, but these are some of the things I'm almost CERTAIN DosBox doesn't have:

• Full emulation of Intel x86 real mode/16bit processor
• DOS COM,EXE,BAT program load and run (esp. BAT files)
• Moderate Dos services emulation

Besides, he says he approached you (on the main page) and you didn't want him helping? What's that about?

Yeah, but, uh, they're working on that? DOSBOX will do all three of those eventually...

I liked the debugger of DodGE, there... *cough*

And notice how Harakiet hasn't responded since...😉
Hopefully this is a good sign that he's coding in that new stuff so vigorously that he can't stop and chat 😁

First of all dodge doesn't do these features perfectly yet, i think dosbox handles them quite a bit more accurate. More cpu opcodes, more dos functions and better bat handling. Dodge does have an excellent debugger and a nice win32 gui, also has a very nifty pcspeaker emulation using midi instruments. Sound s quite nice for some titles 😀
Although dosbox's debugger has been improved quite nicely lately too though, just not available in the normal release. You'll need to compile your own debugger enabled version.

And haven't been that busy implementing new stuff, lot's of work done on rewriting and debugging. Oh well more and more games working that's much better than new features. Did add a few new functions like a config file and new pcspeaker sound with realsound.

and new pcspeaker sound with realsound

Hehe meanstreets still seems to crash at startup so no luck there for you 😀

Someone remove the CTRL and V keys from DosFreak's keyboard.

Odd, it runs (albeit slowly) in NT4/2K/XP without sound....does it work in your build of DosBox without sound? So I suppose it's the "RealSound" that's fuxoring it up?

Hmmm no not the realsound little bug in dosbox i found out, but it
starts up now. Although i have no idea if it runs correctly or not and i can't really understand wtf the game is about 😀

Basically it's a clone of the NARC arcade game.

Try "Life or Death 2" (available at HotU) for testing. It uses pretty minimal RealSound stuff.

Hmm narc looks a lot more like Crime Wave not meanstreets, although crime wave has realsound too, which doesn't half bad neither.

MeanStreets is a tex murphy game, you seem to be flying around in some town and you can probably do shit in there. Oh well dunno, not really my kinda game i think 😀

Dude, Tex Murphy games rule.
Gimme those binaries now or I'll ... I'll ... I'll do something really mean!

And, manual!

Heh, you know what I just realised by reading the story portion of that manual? Overseer is *the* *same* *story*! (Of course, it doesn't work either without a hardware DVD decoder, but...)

D'oh! The one time I rely on memory and don't double-check....

Here's a quick-and-dirty RealSound list:
Companions of Xanth
Countdown
Crime Wave
Echelon (1988 version)
Eric the Unready
Life & Death 2
Links (not sure which version, obviously an old one)
Mean Streets
Spellcasting 301: Spring Break
World Class Leaderboard Golf

BTW, here's an nice article about computer audio:
http://www.avault.com/articles/getarticle.asp?name=lastnote

Imagine my shock when they not only cataloged the PC's audio history, but other machines as well (obviously they all influenced each other in time). I was especially stunned when they gave the Amiga proper credit in that it "blew away" the computer audio that came before it.

Oh, and while I was at MobyGames I see the finally added the Amiga section. About stinkin' time.

That article seemed rushed near the end, seeing as how it mentioned nothing about the various gradations of the Sound Blaster series of cards, any environmental or EQ effects, the removal of the FM synthesiser in the most recent cards, surround sound, et cetera.

Was kind of in a hurry. Still, compared to the other article that said that RealSound on the PC was about equal to the Atari ST's audio output... Phbbt!
