Hello, 😀

Could it be possible to run the capture thread of DOSBox on the second CPU on dual core systems ?

This isn't a request for multithreaded emulation, nor running video output on a second thread (wich would be, as I read it "a big pain"), but only for running the ZMBV + PCM capture thread of DOSBox on the second CPU, if the system has one.

I've downloaded the source code of DOSBox v0.73, but I can't see wich files of code would have to be modified ?

An alternative question would be : where in the code, does the Ctrl+Alt+F5 keys combination is catch ?

Bye. 😉

PS : I'm not sure this is the right forum. Tried first the 'DOSBox patches' forum but only moderators can post new threads there.
PPS : I'm a fan of DOSBox since ages ago, but this is my first post on Vogons.
My only previous coding related to DOSBox is a .NET front-end.

Thank you very much. =)

I'm sorry I didn't see this thread when I searched multiple times if it had been already discussed.

Was there some advance by the OP of the other thread since ?

Anyway, I downloaded the OP's version of hardware.cpp, that makes it a starting point. 😁

Thank you again. 😉
