New data on the matter: it freezes even when the window has remained in the background (not having the focus) for a few minutes (last time it took about 5 minutes to freeze). When the window is active, it has no problem.

Run a different title with same dosbox version and see if behavior changes when you let laptop drop to power-saving mode Yup, i thought of that but i'm not so sure it would definitively prove that there is a problem with the game. In any case, MOO1 freezes as long as you lock Windows (press Win+L), …

Playing Master Of Orion (the first one) through DosBox, if i leave the laptop to drop to power-saving mode and return after 10-15' and open it, the DosBox window has frozen (most of the times). This is happening to me for the past 5-6 years with 2 different laptops (1 custom, 1 dell), using Windows …

DOSBox hasn't been programed to interpret "C:\>cd Alien Logic" as "C:\>cd ALIENL~2". DBGL hasn't been programed to change it before sending it to DOSBox. I think you misunderstood me. I agree with what you say and i'm not asking for either. I'm simply saying that i expect from DBGL to let me type " …

OK, let's go once again. I have a folder C:\Program Files\Entertainment. I've mounted this as C: in DBGL. My game is under there, in another folder (C:\Program Files\Entertainment\My Game 123) with more than 8 chars and spaces in the name. Even when i change the folder name to a ~1 type, DBGL …

Hmmm, seems like a bug, but where? DOSBox? IMHO, even if there are long names in the config file, they should be converted to short names transparently, when executing the game, not when stored in the config file (by either DOSBox or DBGL). Config should be allowed to contain long filenames.

Not sure that I fully understand what you're doing. If i understand correctly, you are suggesting that i should rename my physical folder to something following the 8.3 standard. I don't want to do that. OK, here's what's happening. I have a folder C:\Program Files\Entertainment. I've mounted this …

Well, i have already solved the issue by editing the config file manually but i reported this here because it seems like a bug...

Hi there. I have a DBGL profile created on a PC with WinXP. Trying to run it from a Win7-64 PC, i found out it was not running. When i "debugged" it, i saw that in the DOSBox window, there was a message saying that the path was larger than 8 chars and i should use the short path. Indeed i found out …

Thanks for replying. I thought of that but i've never paid much attention to the keymapper because i had not understood how it works. I looked once again in the wiki but it didn't help much. At the end i noticed the "mapper" button and i figured out how to do it. Perhaps the wiki needs some more …

Hi everyone. I have a problem with passing CTRL+F1 to a program i'm running in dosbox (under windows). When i press it, the keymapper opens. i don't want that. All i want is for the keystroke to pass to my program. Wiki/FAQ did not help. How can this be done? Thanx.
