It used to run under W8.1, but it now seems broken. This is as far as it gets:
and that is all that seems to get written to the log file. The DOS window is unresponsive - i.e. keys typed when it has focus have no effect. The "X" on the window title bay closes the window works, as does typing ^C.
Any pointers on how I can troubleshoot this?
Try changing the output= option in the config file. Maybe some of the video output drivers don't work on Windows 10.
edit: and if that doesn't work, build Dosbox yourself, execute it in debug mode, and break and get the stack trace when it seems to be stuck. That should give a clue what's causing the problem.
Doesn't run for me either, gives me this error message. I've tried all the available outputs. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.
I think I was confused. The window that is displaying is the status window, and for some reason the main DOSBox window wasn't displaying at all. I had just looked at the window displayed, couldn't see a ">" prompt, and assumed it had snagged during startup. Other edits I had made to the batch file that starts DosBox have fixed the problem of it not showing at all.
So, all good now. 😜
