Re: Dark Seed 2

Posted on 2010-06-07, 14:55

I am running Mandriva Linux 2007.0 with Wine 1.0 installed. Running the Darkseed 2 download found here under Wine displays a message box asking me to reset my display resolution to 640x480, which I do not want to do, just to run a single game. The major downfall of Dark Seed II is its weak …

Dark Seed II gives me grief by having a very small gameplay window - 1/4 of the screen, top left alignment. The lowest setting my graphics card will go (via selection in windows display settings) is 800x600, I tried that too at 16 bit but no luck still same window size. I have installed Windows 3. …

Re: Ubuntu 9.10 - Sound stutters

Interesting. I had played with Ubuntu in the past, but I'm not really a Linux guy. ... What would be a better distro? Is Fedora or SUSE any better regarding sound support? I'd like to stick with a top 5 distro. Linux distros can vary greatly in usability and popularity between releases, so do not …

Or kill ubuntu. DosFreak's right. Maybe in a few years they'll get their audio fixed. Good advice, and probably the only way out. Linux operating systems are not created equal. I had sound stuttering and lagging problems with DOSBox 0.72 (compiled from source) under Mandriva Free 2007.0. I am now …

Congratulations on another new release of DOSBox. My sincere thanks goes to all DOSBox authors. I am presently using a second-hand Dell Optiplex GX240, Pentium 4, running Windows XP Pro SP2. It is another recycled business machine purchased for 60 USD. I will keep the forum posted on how it handles …

Re: Sound is Lagging

This is more of a pocket calculator than a PC, especially if you're trying to run demanding emulation on it. The fact that you're trying to run the most CPU intensive games - first person shooters - on this very, very slow PC doesn't help at all. The machine is probably a business PC, which means …

Re: Sound is Lagging

If sound is lagging by one second or a bit more, that is probably the best you will be able to do. I am running DOSBox 0.72 under Mandriva Linux 2007.0 and sound lags by about 1.5 seconds when running Doom II, for example. I have been unable to shorten sound lag by tweaking my .dosboxrc file any …

well i have no sound stuttering with 0.7x I advise you to update to that. The mixer routines have changed and improved a lot since 0.61 which is way too old for us to care about sound stuttering anymore. You might want to play with the configuration settings of dosbox. blocksize and prebuffer. I …

Re: Linux Sound Stuttering

Several of the DOSBox developers are themselves running and developing DOSBox on Linux, with cross-compiles to produce the Windows version, so if this was a general problem I am sure it would have been solved a long time ago. Sounds more like a problem with your build, or with Mandrive. Can you run …

Patch Strife 1.0 to 1.31

Posted on 2008-01-31, 20:43

I want to patch my CD copy of Strife version 1.0 to version 1.31, the final version. It looks like the patch will need to be done in two stages; version 1.0 to 1.3, then 1.3 to 1.31. Googling shows a few links to the game patches, but those links are either inactive or erroneous. Could someone …

Linux Sound Stuttering

Posted on 2008-01-31, 20:40

I am running DOSBox 0.72, self-compiled, under Mandriva Linux 2007.0, kernel 2.6.17-5mdv, and am experiencing sound stuttering when running all MS-DOS games. Sound is normal in other Linux applications. I found a thread discussing the topic of sound stuttering when using the Linux version of DOSBox …
