Try a different output method in your dosbox.conf like opengl.

more importantly, I don't think DOS was available in 1978 Yeah, i think DOS 1.0 was released in like 1980. Typo perhaps?

Assuming you've tried IMGMOUNT, sorry, no idea. You should be using 0.72, though. It might have, I dunno, more compatibility?

It's quite likely that the tablet simply can't handle the necessary calculations for this game without having the constant slowdown that comes with it. Mmm, ok then. I though it would have made a difference but, whatever. Try what ADDiCT suggedted tho - I reduced my cycles from 3000 to 500 on my …

Well, OK then. I still think that a text games like rougelikes shouldn't need full VGA but I'm probably wrong :pppt: . Still give it a go Smothermunchie. If your game still doesn't work though, I really don't know, sorry. Edit: Ahem. I stand corrected: I tried to run ADOM with CGA and it failed. …

whoops, sorry. Ok, if they're not ientical they are compatible, right? A text mode game should run in both unless the game uses a vga-specific feature which is unlikely. I was just suggesting it because the video card uses lots of CPU time and a VGA card should not be nescessary for a textmode game. …

yeah like using 640x200 and stretched 8x8 characters isn't identical Well if they're text modes, VGA and CGA have the same 80x25 16 color text mode - please tell me if i'm going in the completely wrong direction :blush: Edit: just remembered, if you want a stripped down dosbox.conf [dos] umb=true …

Try turning dosbox machine - vga to dosbox machine - cga If they're text based this will make _no_ difference - vga and cga text modes are identical. Perhaps you might try even lower like MGA or hercules.(it might look a bit different tho ) 😜

Maybe your floppies are corrupt? Probably not, just a wild guess.

I'm not sure but maybe you should try reinstalling ALSA - it looks like it's broken.

Nevermind - it was my 3D desktop. I disabled it and it turns out that it wasn't even stretching it out in the first place - it was changing resolutions. 😜

Sorry, no. It sqaushed the game into a different shape but it didn't stretch it out. Oh, I installed a new graphics driver recently - could this be the cause?

When I first started using DOSBox, the fullscreen mode stretched out to fill my whole screen. After a few uses, this behaviour suddenly went away and there does not appear to be any options to get it back. Is there any way to make it strech my screen out again?

Could you give us some more information, please? It's kind of hard to deduct what's happening from "the cd spins a lot but nothing happens" 😉

Perhaps DOSBox is not running fast enough - have a look at this: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Setup_and_In … Box#Performance I'm not sure if that's the actual problem, though.

It works! 😁 Thanks Qbix!

I stumbled upon http://lau.linuxaudio.org/TiMidity-howto.html and got timidity working, but timidity attaches itself to 128:0, while DosBox is looking on 65:0 and 17:0. I tried "aconnect 65:0 128:0" but it throws up: Connection failed (Invalid argument) Is there any option in dosbox.conf to make it …

I have installed DosBox onto my system and I have Doom running perfectly on it. However, I can't hear the music - I can hear the sounds perfectly but I can't hear the background music. I assume that this is because my nasty onboard soundcard has no MIDI capability at all . Is there anything like …
