I agree With Zach, Why not implement the best Front end and have it install with DosBox? I setup up DosBox through my windows tool bar, If I knew how, I'd set it up in the shell menu, under a sub menu. I never said implement a fontend in dosbox, i said promote the usage of a front end, possible by …

The only thing missing from dosbox is a better promotion of front ends. It's very unclear what front end is still up to date, what front end is advanced, what front end is easy to use etc. I know the dosbox dev's stay neutral on these choices, but it might be nice to make the "Tools" list in the …

There are tools to change key behaviour, and disable them. Or just search for "disable caps lock" on google, hope that helps 😀

No problems with vista premium (32 bit) here either. Beside, microsoft always claimed that ctrl+alt+del can not be seen by any other application but windows. If dosbox can do that, we did find something interesting. As well as it must be a vista bug.

Why doesn't dosbox move the files you delete to the recycle bin, just like windows does when you remove something? I realize it's more intuitional that dosbox completely remove a file then when pincale does it (dvd burning software, when you remove the file from the list of files to burn, it's gone …

Use a dosbox frontend (see that sticky topic), and close the games by closing dosbox. Mounting directories manual in dosbox takes about the same time as making a game profile, but once you got a game profile, you can start the game again in just 2 or 3 mouse clicks.

A far as i remember Theme hospital ran just fine under windows XP without dosbox. Now this might be different for vista, but did you try to run it without dosbox?

The game runs just fine for me, sound seems to be fine as well. Perhaps you should try my settings, not sure what i changed from the default, so i just give them all, and hope you can use them :) I use the following settings in the magic carper config: MIDI music: Creative Labs Sound Blaster(TM) 16 …

On emulations versus virtualization. I think the wikipedia article about Virtualization explains it quite well. Where virtualization merely means you hide the physical system, and show something that behaves different. a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of computing resources from …

That it did not wend wrong doesn't mean it's without risk. It's simply good practice to put all your games in c:\dosgames and mount c:\dosgames. If it's to much typ work to you, use c:\dg instead. And yes, Wounded Ronin is correct that running SSI Gold Box D&D games by mounting c:\ is not going to …

I've been playing magic carpet 1 in dosbox 0.70 lately, and it runs great. Except that it crash from time to time, and speed isn't that good (so i have to turn graphics all the way down). Its very well playable, especially when you save a lot the crashes don't hurt to much, but sometimes the game …

Or start with pressing ctrl+F12, when you did that a few times and your cpu usage is 100%, you might try to press ctr+F8 to increase frame skip. If that's not enough, do what's said in the post above mine.

Don't have a clue, i thought adom ran on a mac w/a dosbox, but i'm mistaken about that right? Anyway, running adom under winxp with dosbox (what's pretty useless couse adom got a win version to) it run just fine, exept i can't use the 1,3,5,7 and 8 on the numpad to move diagonal, gota use the …

Hi Davydo Sorry could you explain exactly how you got it working again? Do you mean the hidden worlds combo doesn't crash on enter key anymore? I have the original MC disk, and a separate HW disk, was there a combined disk? I'd love to play this classic game again :cool: thanks Dante wel, i got …
