@MKSheppard, if you used a Windows VS build, try a MinGW build of DOSBox-X instead. I can confirm that it is an issue with the Visual Studio version -- I just downloaded the 0.83.17 MinGW version and it generates wilderness topo maps just fine from the start. You can change CGA rendering in DOSBox …

Codeholio, trying DEBUG 0 61 3 didn't work; but I found something that did. After some trial and error; I narrowed it down to: fpu = false If this is set, the topo map generates correctly. If it's set to TRUE, it generates the error I posted earlier. This makes me wonder if WILDERNESS also had the …

Try using a DOS program or DEBUG.EXE to write 03h to port 61h. This will make a BEEEEEEEP but will turn on the PIT timer as well. I got DEBUG.EXE, but I'm trying to figure out how to write 03h to port 61h. I'm trying this in debug: -o 61h 03h but I get an ^ error pointing at the H EDIT: I tried …

That may be overestimating the effort that went into the artistic decision-making, if there was any... that game was originally an Apple II job, at least according to MobyGames. It was pretty common for folks to just use automated converters when porting graphics to another machine; or in this case …

I believe I've found something in DosBox-X; I don't know what exactly is broken but for the old DOS game "WILDERNESS: A SURVIVAL ADVENTURE"... if you run it with DOSBOX 0.74; you're able to generate new topographic maps to play on, as well as save topo maps and games. But if you try running it in …

Yes. Well, this is not optimal, it would be advisable to do something similar in powershell (or a GUI) but it can be done and it works. I have made some small changes to the script to work in windows with win-bash. Download and extract. Copy the BIN and CUE files to the same folder where isoogg_win …

You know, I loaded up regular Wilderness in Standard 4 color CGA mode, and then altered the screenshot in Paint Shop Pro to alter the hue by -60 and I got this: And it fits too well; it makes me wonder if the CGA palettes in-game were chosen deliberately (remember, this was 1985/1986) so that end- …

Here is reenigne's improved composite CGA patch updated for current DOSBox SVN (as of r4115). Refreshers: F12 toggles composite on/off/auto; Ctrl+Alt+F11 cycles through settings to change (CGA model, hue, saturation, contrast, brightness, sharpness); F11 / Alt+F11 modify the current setting. You …

Does anyone have a SHA256 checksum for a validated clean copy of DosSharkX.exe?

Sorry for being a bit obtuse -- there's nothing wrong with what you wrote.

There is really no reason to limit CPU cycles during installation, unless you like waiting longer than you have to. I'd like to comment on this. There's a specific error that comes from running software too fast : Error 200 . I know about it because I've tried installing DOS games via Oracle's …

To install the the JR SFX Pack, which is on 5 disks... FIRST, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING: ZIP UP and make copies of your stock Judgment Rites install. It took so long to install, you want to have a backup before you install the SFX pack! OK, well with your backup done...follow the same procedure as …

I don't think so, because the darned thing is double ARJed. It's really horridly complicated. To wit: RITES.ARJ contains DATA0.ARJ/DATA1.ARJ/DATA2.ARJ/DATA3.ARJ so on so on, with RITES.A05 containing: METH0.ARJ NOMAN0.ARJ NOMAN2.ARJ SCOTTY0.ARJ Holy recursive compression, batman!

I solved my problem, but here it is for those who may come after me in the future -- hopefully I didn't mangle my explanations too badly: The Problem Installing Star Trek: Judgment Rites from the original 3.5" 1.44MB disk media is pretty tough to do as the installer program is a product of the era …

🙄 I just wanted to know if CPU paging is on your list of features to emulate, and how high a priority it is on the list , if it is on the list. That kind of stuff, not being blown off with a "when it's ready"

When I try to run Harpoon 2 in DOSBOX, DosBox exits and says "Does not support CPU Paging..." When can us Harpooners expect this support to be added?
