Re: NE2000 Patch on OS X ?

Using Network interface: en1 (no description) Unable to open the interface: BIOCSRTIMEOUT: Invalid argument. This is caused by an issue inside libpcap. The code of pcap-bpf.c needs to be revised to suit modern OS X kernel data structures. Anyways.. H-A-L-9000s NE2k patch now works on OSX/INTeL too. …

Re: Dosbox 0.73 OSX and OpenGL Vsync

Tried to add it but it didn't work (that doesn't mean much, though - I didn't try hard!). I then googled a bit and it seems like libSDL 1.2.x for OSX is missing essential code to make it work. :-( An old posting of Sam Lantinga was proposing it for 1.3.x: http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl …

Re: DOSBox performance on Mac OS X

Without fixing the SDL configure script you won't be able to create different static binaries for all 3 PowerPC targets and lipo them together in a final stage. The tool will bail out in error telling you that the 3 binaries are of the same platform. It was just a general hint for those that want to …

Re: DOSBox performance on Mac OS X

Apple ships a modified version of GCC with their Xcode development kit. This one is able to produce binaries that run on both major OSX target platforms (i386 and powerpc). Although its possible to create a universal binary directly (by adding the compiler switches -arch i386 -arch ppc ) I do not …

Re: Peculiar Graphic Error

Oh that's an OSX problem.. no DOSBox problem. I had this with other applications as well. 😀 A quick google search on "genie effect minimizing glitch" will offer a few links with information about the issue.

Re: Please help with quickstart (OSX)

My problem is that there is no dosbox.conf file in my DOSBox folder. :s-face: There is a file called "DOSBox Preferences" that ships with the 0.72 distribution. Copy that one into your personal "Library/Preferences/" folder and edit it to your needs. The preferences file is pretty much self- …

Re: MacOS X Slow Video Performance

Build your SDL library like this: cd SDL-1.2.12/ make distclean ./configure --prefix=/opt/dosbox --enable-static --enable-video-opengl \ --enable-video-cocoa --disable-video-x11 --enable-nasm --enable-cdrom make (replace /opt/dosbox with the prefix you want to use) And your DOSBox like this: cd …

Re: Dosbox and OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

No worries about the current official DOSBox binary not running under 10.5. At least the developer pre-releases of 10.5 are known to execute it successfully. There is just a little notice that one of the OSX APIs in use is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. Compiling DOSBox under 10.5 could …

Re: DOSBox 0.72 for Mac OS X unstable

In older versions I added some sort of a HOWTO to guide through compiling DOSBox on your own. :) Anyways.. it is rather straight forward! I found that recent SVN versions of SDL_sound tend to create troubles thats why I stayed with the stable release (which is quite aged by now). So get yourself SDL …

Re: request for help starting out with a Mac

Uhm.. yeah.. G3.. I never thought anyone is that brave to really use it on a G3. :-) I have modified the compiler settings on the official binary to optimize the powerpc part a little more. The result is a working binary that renders a certain game I use for testing without hickups and glitches in …

Re: request for help starting out with a Mac

OK, lets start like this: your loginname on the mac is probably "gregoryk" (if it is not then replace all occurrences of this word with the one that is actually in use on your machine). - create a folder named DOS in your documents folder - download the DOSBox distribution to your mac - unpack the …

DOSBox on IRIX

I was a little bit bored today (too much booze last night 😵) and so I did this: http://www.enosnusnu.de/index.php?/archives/9 … ox-on-IRIX.html Have fun! 😁

Re: Issues with DOSBox 0.71 on Mac OS X

Today I found something very interesting. I have a tool called Afloat ( http://millenomi.altervista.org/Afloat/ ) installed in my PreferencePane. As long as I enable it DOSBox (native build) would crash on startup with a joystick attached. If it is disabled DOSBox comes up fine. I reproduced this …

Re: Issues with DOSBox 0.71 on Mac OS X

Now this is totaly odd! I removed the icon init code in src/gui/sdlmain.cpp ... #if 0 /* Set Icon (must be done before any sdl_setvideomode call) */ #if WORDS_BIGENDIAN SDL_Surface* logos= SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom((void*)logo,32,32,32,128,0xff000000,0x00ff0000,0x0000ff00,0); #else SDL_Surface* logos …

Issues with DOSBox 0.71 on Mac OS X

Hi, I found a few issues with latest DOSBox on my OS X machines and I'd like to know wether others have these too or if its just something with my setup. 1) USB joystick attached to the system will crash DOSBox immediately after startup: [bali]:~ $ /Applications/DOSBox.app/Contents/MacOS/DOSBox …

Re: question for Intel Mac users

The speed improvement on INTeL based macs is enormous. If the framerate of a late 90ies shooter is a suitable benchmark for you then you can expect up to 10 times more rendered frames on a 2GHz Core2Duo compared to a 1.8GHz G5 (yes, thats ~5fps vs ~50fps).
