Sorry to necro this thread but I recently install FFE in Miyoo Mini and encountered the same problem as OP posted. I used his solution, copied all files of the Japheth's HX extender into the root directory of the game file (same dir as the firstenc.exe), then I made a batch file to run hxldr32.exe …

Thanks for the reply. I tried Win DIB but Nvidia is still engaged. I know dosbox is very CPU intensive but should not be engaging Nvidia. I saw in the previous DFend version where yhkwong version was not included in the package it did not engage the Nvidia card. Is there any way we can disable or …

Sorry I forgot to indicate why this is important to me. This is important because it is really draining my battery. For example, while under normal use its discharge rate is about -11,000 mW. However, when dosbox is running on any game, the discharge rate can go from -23,000 mW to 33,000 mW!!! This …

Hi, When I start a game in DFend Reload it appears it always use my Nvidia card even on games that do not use any graphic power. Is there a way in the DFend setting or the Dosbox setting to only use my intel card so that the power on my laptop is conserve? I don't mind having Nvidia power if I am …

Not sure if I am adding to the discussion but if I set the mouse to autolock=1 the mouse cursor becomes uncontrollable again. In order to work in touchscreen, it has to been: SDL_Mouse_Relative=0 Fullscreen=0 Autolock=0 Somehow Autolock screw up the cursor as well. Gates

Thanks Dominus! It works only if fullscreen=0 (in window mode). The cursor goes crazy if it is in fullscreen. Also, like you said, calibration may be off, but it may be the issue of touchscreen, not Dosbox or SDL. Thanks again for your help!

Hello Dominus and WD, Rover doesn't work for me... it has black screen and resolution changed to about 320x240 and only the window task bar appears and the mouse only "show up" when scroll to the taskbar area and disappear when scroll to the main screen. WD- again my apologies about my previous …

Thanks MinMax, I have sent the SDL folks an email and hope they will help out. I'm still wondering if it would be possible to include an option in dosbox to choose relative vs. absolute value and whether this may solve the issue? May be this is not the right solution, but is there anything you can …

Hi Wd, Thanks again for your reply. Forgive my ignorance, but would it be possible to add an option in Dosbox to choose Absolute vs. Relative Position? I will try to bug the SDL forum as well (although I am not familiar with it at all!) but let's say they "fix it" I don't even know how to integrate …

No takers? Would touchscreen support be included in the next release of DOSBOX? If not, and if some one can guide me to recompile dosbox, which SDL should I obtain for the compilation? Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you both for your help. Did you try version 1.08 of the game (the deluxe package of the game in underdog)? The problem is with version 1.08 of the game. From version version 1.0 to 1.07 your method works but something appears to be broke for the v1.08 and this is the version needed to make …
