Re: Run external command from dosbox.

Posted on 2009-03-18, 18:27

Thanks for replies. DOSBox create a file when done loading (in autoexec) and then have a file/directory monitor on the host. Yes, this is the first choice I've thought and done. The external script (AutoIt) runs dosbox.exe and the last command under "[Autoxec]" section (dosbox.conf) copy an empty …

Run external command from dosbox.

Posted on 2009-03-17, 23:15

Hello. Is there any "trick" to send from dosbox to Windows a command or an event? I'd like to start a script (AutoIt) only after dosbox.exe terminates its startup, when it shows "C:\>" and the status window complete all the info messages. Thanks in advance.

Re: Serial port functionality?

Hello, maybe the usb->RS232 works in dosbox with the help of a "software bridge" from the real port and a virtual port. The software (free): http://www.eterlogic.com/Products.VSPE.html Steps: - Device -> Create New Device - Select "Connector" - Select the desidered virtual "COM Y" ( "Y" from COM1 to …

It's a "terminate and stay resident" program and there are two hot-key mode for the "call up" : "Print" key if it was started as "infinity" and "dubble press the left shift" if it was started as "infinity /x". The first one doesn't works on my keyboard, the 2nd one shows errors in status window (see …

I've found in a bbs mirror an "infinity machine", it is a tsr and seems a cheats collection. Is it the one in attachment ? If it's that one,there is not a file that explains how to use it but it seems running in vga only. The command line help (redirected to a txt) shows: Infinty Machine: The …

I'm sorry, tested without turn on the speakers: the sound in ega is awful... In tandy1000 it's ok but the not the graphic because the batch file isn't been updated correctly after settings. Open the go.bat in superc dir with an editor and made it like this: ECHO OFF CLS load /u TDY 2 These are for: …

But when I mount Super C (drag the folder into the dosbox icon), I don't know this way, I use this (on my pc superc folder is in hd g: ): - start dosbox.exe - "mount c:\ g:\superc" <--- w/o quotes + enter (same think for the one below) - "c:" - "mnu" <--- for the settings - "go" <--- to start the …

I've tested it with 0.65(s.forge) and 0.70(cvs) :both are ok but not play the game for much, I don't like the "shot'em up" kind... Do you see the dosbox text font changes when you set as machine=tandy (see attachment)? also you may try this: - rename the "dosbox.conf" as "01dosbox.conf" in dosbox …

Re: Direct serial port working

Posted on 2007-03-29, 19:01

The other errors indicate that something the serial port cannot understand happens on the bus. I forgot to disconnect from the bus a remote field-controller :depressed:, after this one was removed automagically all those continuous errors disappeared. Sometimes there are some overruns in status win …

Thank you hal for the reply. I've tried some setting but not made the test very well... With "rxdelay=0" the scan results seems a bit right: missed some devices but these ones are now in the right places (nearly all), sometimes it finds an "unknow". With your "ocbus" the program run well and with …

Hello, I'm posting here, without opening a new thread because it's a "serial port" related one. I hope it isn't a mistake...

I've thought something related to sdl.dll or other dll that dbox wants (sdl_net.dll,libpng...), these ones are in dbox directory. I had a similar problem with some dbox compiled by myself, it works fine with a sdl but with other ones it crashed at start up (status window shows an incomplete message: …

Could somebody please test if it compiles with MinGW? Hi h-a-l, I've tried your direct_lpt2.diff (is it a new one?) downloaded from your website with two new cvs downloaded from: http://pcnwstage.phys.rug.nl/dosboxcvs.tgz http://www.aep-emu.de/cvscompile/dosbox.htm there are a lot of "Hunk FAILED" …
