Another one to mention is Super Silverbrothers, by Ken Silverman. According to his website, the game was made in 1991 and features smooth scrolling (70fps), possibly also on a 386. The available files are timestamped 1992 and later. The main source (SIBROS.C), timestamped 1999, has this comment: // …

@Ny: I had no time to test but does your patch play well with the very recent SVN change to allow OpenGl shaders? Afraid that I haven't checked it so far. After briefly inspecting the changes in r4319, I think that the last revision of the SDL2 patch is incompatible with it. tl;dr: Unless you're …

kas1e: Good find about SDL_Quit_Wrapper and freeing resources on quit. I think that what you've described also applies to stock DOSBox with SDL 1.2, so the patch makes no change with regards to that. Also good to read about SDL_LockTexture/SDL_UnlockTexture and SDL_UpdateTexture. I did use the …

Thanks to Dominus for testing the patch. I've updated it after applying required fixes for OS X and updating to r4293. Notes that I should add first: - Whatever I previously said about SDL_sound still applies. Additionally, as I'd been informed by Dominus, SDL_sound had been updated (during 2018) so …

Additionally, the aforementioned caveats, like the requirement to have 128MB of RAM, are still intact. You might be able to run this under an unmodified DOSBox build with 63MB of RAM reserved for it, *if* you're using CWSDPMI.EXE and paging. Even then, there might be greater chances of an unexpected …

Thanks for the report and for getting the backtrace, testerson. Can you check out the updated patch? Summary of changes for the attached patch: - Compatible with r4178. - Should actually use SDL_LockAudioDevice/SDL_UnlockAudioDevice in SDL 2.0 builds, instead of SDL_LockAudio/SDL_UnlockAudio. Seems …

I've updated the patch to be compatible with r4176. Tested on Ubuntu 18.10 only (with x86-64 SDL 1.2 and 2.0 builds). As usual, it is more-or-less the same as the preceding patch, albeit with a few edits: - Replaced a few instances of the assignment: "sdl.update_display_contents = ((width == …

Checking the video a bit, I'm not sure the issue is with the DOSBox window itself; It might simply be the status window. What happens when you open a Command Prompt window which is totally unrelated to DOSBox? Does the '1' key still change focus to it?

A few things to check: - As previously stated, re-check this with the new keyboard you're getting, even if it doesn't seem to be related at all. (The older keyboard doesn't have programmable keys by chance, does it?) - On Windows, it's possible to set keyboard shortcuts for specific programs. Maybe …

Also, if you really want to be sure, then compare to original OPL hardware *only*, and not to any OPL emulator's output.

This is interesting, thanks for the report. Personally, I think that it's better to call SDL2's SDL_OpenAudioDevice function instead, with the SDL_AUDIO_ALLOW_FREQUENCY_CHANGE flag passed as the value of allowed_changes (we don't want SDL_AUDIO_ALLOW_FORMAT_CHANGE, and probably also not SDL_AUDIO_ …

OK, so the recent update has made me go over the patch and make just a few simple clean-ups. Nothing major. However, I've kinda reproduced an old problem with the mouse, at least on Ubuntu 14.04 with the Unity shell. While it's not the first time I observe it, I now have a way to reproduce this. …
