Hmm nevermind, I just wrote some quick code to hook mousewheel events and send a bracket keystroke. It is indeed a problem with X-Mouse. Well then, if you want something done right, do it yourself 😜

X-Mouse issue [mapping scrollwheel to keystrokes]

Hi, I discovered the X-Mouse program for Windows that works on x64, allowing you to remap mouse buttons/scrollers to many other functions including simulated keystrokes. I have set the wheelup/wheeldown to leftbracket/rightbracket respectively for dosbox.exe process. And it works.... mostly. Under …

Another alternative to all this is to (1) Download a modern, free SoundFont (such as the brilliant A340.SF2), then (2) Convert the SoundFont to GUS patches with the unsf tool. See http://alsa.opensrc.org/GusSoundfont#Extracti … from_Soundfonts

So... is this a dead patch? Would be great if we could have compressed CD images. Something like a custom cuesheet would be a great implementation, as already mentioned using ZIP is better than NT-filesystem compression. I.e.: FILE "TRACK_01.ZIP" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2048 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE " …

Very interesting, mostly the paging one - thanks for the DIFF's. Paging patch will indeed work with cputype:auto (and still switch to dynamic if needed) yes? Also, I have no idea which games use paging... happen to know of a list? Or an easy way to find out i.e. certain binary pattern or a specific …

Believe it or not, QBASIC is another option. These days, there are many libraries that can make QB 4.5 fly - Future.Library for example can do graphics modes of 800x600 with millions of colours. Check out http://www.petesqbsite.com/downloads/libraries.shtml

Use the source port - it's pretty much 100% bug free these days. And the Hires Pack is very nice too. http://www.proasm.com/

Problem with mp3, wave and others is due to a bug in SDL_sound's Sound_Seek function I actually noticed this the other day along with some other problems in cdrom_image, but thought it might have just been me (I build in MSVC and SDL_Sound took some work to even build properly). Thanks for …

@MasterGrazzt, did you actually try running DOSBox by itself instead of D-Fend with the Hardware Acceleration lowered? It doesn't make much sense that D-Fend would cause it... DOSBox on Windows is based on SDL so it should try and use DirectX, therefore it makes sense if DOSBox doesn't boot on low/ …

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. SDL_Sound by default has a crap load of optional libraries for other formats, MODPLUG for example will support Tracker formats (XM/MOD/IT/etc) :O But I will check it out since Im in the middle of dabbling with it all right now, and am enjoying this learning …

Oh. My mistake. Well... I personally don't see the need for MP3 when you've got Vorbis? Why is MP3 preferred? I am using the 1.0.3 release of SDL_Sound for now, will try trunk versions soon if I can't get FLAC to work. FYI for those who don't know, specifying the type as MP3 is standard cuesheet …

I know it's an old thread, but see my reply at http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=183303#183303 in regards to building-from-source with SDL_Sound support.

It's not a mystery, you have to define C_SDL_SOUND as 1 when building. It's completely ommitted from the trunk/repo sources for some reason so if you're using VC++ like me then rebuild it yourself with #define C_SDL_SOUND 1 in the config.h file. Of course you need SDL_sound too though. I will also …

Did you try deleting your config to get a new default one? Don't bother with cycles/core yet just leave everything on default of auto for now, its the default for a reason. Also try the latest trunk build for Windows, the pre-0.74 changes have somewhat improved the experience in Vista/7 x86-64bit.

Eh doesn't seem to make a difference, probably because it's already "rasterized" by the time it reaches the D3D9 part or something. I've encountered this with all Glide wrappers, might be a nVidia 19X.xx driver "feature" or a Win7 x64 issue. Will try and figure it out though cheers 😀

True. Also can't seem to force Anti-Aliasing or anything fancy. But in my experience so far it is the most compatible wrapper I've used, in DOSBox and out 😉
