Not sure if it will help, but here is a list of DOSBox ALT-keys: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Special_Keys Maybe you need to ALT-Pause to resume the game?
Re: Is there a way to get my CRT monitor to scale the resolution?
Posted on 2015-12-12, 08:26
Like instead of DOSBox itself doing it? I've tried to see if it could work, but all I get is a tiny screen surrounded by black. i am not sure DOSBox itself is doing the scaling. DOSBox uses a graphics library called SDL ( Simple DirectMedia Layer ) which in turn utilizes OpenGL and DirectX. And …

Logitech software is also to be blame a lot of times! Is that so? I do have a G15 keyboard and the LCD drivers installed... I'll be sure to try quitting that in future (assuming that's sufficient just to close/quit the LCD driver program?) I had that Logitech Process Monitor bite me years ago ( …

Yes.... If you can find a Windows/Linux/OSX driver for it.
DOS keyboard layout loaded with main language code SU for layout sv
Posted on 2015-11-29, 04:07
Is this a bug? When I start DOSBox, I get the message "DOS keyboard layout loaded with main language code SU for layout sv". I am happy with 'sv' since I live in Sweden and I am using a Swedish version of Windows 10. But what is this 'SU' stuff? Suomi for Finland? Soviet Union?

If we are going to nitpick, I think it is unlikely anyone owns a game. At most, you have a license to use the copy that has been provided to you.

I'm a pussy. I will wait until sometime in the new year to do the upgrade. I will let you brave folks jump into the shark infested waters first.

That indicates one of two things (sh is in C:\MinGW\MSYS\1.0\bin): Something went wrong in MingGW-install. This part: Appends C:\MinGW\bin and C:\MinGW\MSYS\1.0\bin to the user's system-wide PATH environment variable. call :xPATH "gcc.exe" "%MINGW_HOME%\bin" call :xPATH "sh.exe" "%MSYS_HOME%\bin" Or …

I have wiped up two small scripts for installing MinGW and SDL. They work on my Win 10 PC, so I hope they work for you too. Unpack into a random directory, and you should have the two main scripts, MinGW-install.cmd and SDL-install.cmd. Both scripts utilities a couple of helper-scripts located in …

Anyway marianoryu, you might be able to use some of the information in this thread to mount that CD-image correctly: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=45641 You will of course have to use the magic 'imgmount' command instead of the normal 'mount'.

Think of (I)nter(R)upt re(Q)uests as electrical lines that the devices can use to signal to the CPU that they need its attention. If you have 6 devices that sometimes needs to interrupt the CPU because they have something important to tell it, then it is nice if also have 6 IRQ lines. Then it is …
Re: Trying to add a "Start" command to DOSBox
Posted on 2015-11-14, 02:01
system() is one way of doing it, but then you need to use strncat() to concatenate the two strings first. A real programmer would not use system() though. Better use fork() followed by execv().

I would not use Torrents for speed testing. Too many variables. Use something like http://www.bredbandskollen.se/ (press the big green STARTA MÄTNINGEN button to get your down and upload speeds). Sometimes you need to go back to basics. You have a lot of system images lying around so why not wipe …
Re: Question for the hardware guys...

You could try throwing the graphics card in the oven for 6-7 minutes. Yep, sounds crazy but sometimes the heat is just enough to make bad solder joints reconnect. Search YouTube for "Re-balling" and "GPU". Mostly it is a fix for laptaps where you cannot easily replace the GPU.
Re: Question for the hardware guys...

Can you run it without the graphics card, using some internal VGA graphics? If not, try any old/cheap graphics adapter.
