It has been quite a while since my last visit here so please, my apologies if this was answered before. Are there plans to implement a savestate feature in the next version? I'm now going back to some of my 80's and early 90's games and some of them doesn't have a built-in save/load feature, which …

I have two suggestions to the Dosbox team for a next release: 1) A key to pause emulation 'without' opening the config screen, with a 'frame by frame advancing' feature, like the one used by M.A.M.E.. Useful to produce better screenshots from fast-paced games. 2) An option to disable "low video …

GOT IT! With version 0.72 it works, but with another UNIVBE version that I've taken from The Need For Speed (version 5.0 Lite). With this one, the game works fine without the need of using that "vgaonly" video mode from the CVS build, except for the fact that the game cannot show all its colors at …

Here's my final results using SDD 0.53 and with Dos32a instead of DOS4GW: - Nothing has changed using SDD 0.53. This one has the same effect of the latest version I've used before. - With the DOS4GW replacement and using the newest DOS32a, I got some "RET: Illegal call 7" errors and in some cases, …

Well, I honestly don't know if this is the cause of the failure, but I also tought about it and It seems to be a reasonable cause of the problem. Since 386 and 486 are compatible, I think that it should work (slower but at least work). One of the devs could explain this better. Anyway, I'll keep …

Ok, here are the results using the latest Scitech Display Doctor (653): - The SDD installation was easy and painless. All the SDD tests worked fine, with every single video mode (320x200, 320x240, 640x400, 640x480, 320x480) in 8, 16 and 32bbp. - The SDD VESA bios driver loaded and it updated all my …

YEAH man! I tought about it just yesterday. I used to run games through SDD and it helped me a lot on increasing games performance. I'll give it a try. Also, this game uses Dos4GW to run, and I'm trying to bind the dos32a to make it more stable, but it refuses to bind my .exe since it's on the CD!! …

It looks like that this crash is something related to the VESA video mode. I saw that I saw that the current Dosbox VESA status is at about 80%. Since this game is made to run with VESA, there's a lot of chance that one of its instructions is falling in the 20%. D#@n!!

In fact there's one other option I forgot to mention: "n" to disable sound. I tried this one but the result is still the same, so it's definitely not sound-related.

I'm trying to run my old Supreme Warrior (PC CD version - 2 CD's). So I mounted the CD drive as E: and inserted the game CD in my real CD drive. But I can only run the setup screen, to test sound, CD drive and video settings. The sound works fine using the Sound Blaster 16 option. The setup detects …

Yes, I got it. It's called PalmDosBox and it's based on DosBox 0.65. I've installed it and It's running just fine with my T3; now, the only thing I need to figure out is how to set the SD card paths correctly to execute a game direct from the [autoexec] section of the dosbox.conf. That's because the …

HI, Is there any chances of someone of the DosBox team to port this brilliant emulator to PDA devices, such as PalmOS? Another small question... How can I mount a path and execute a .exe file that is in that path, directly from the [autoexec] section in dosbox.conf ? Thanks for reading. Roger.
