yerejm, Thanks for taking up the slack on this one. I really want to see the issue fixed, but my attention has been focused on a very promising job interview earlier this week. My apologies for not contributing more, however it appears that the fact you are even using gdb shows you've already moved …

That is exactly where I put it. Afterall as a programmer I know it wouldn't make sense to conditionally display a line based upon a value within a variable that hasn't been set yet (i.e. retval). Though there is a lot of output, and perhaps I missed something. Is there a way to log the debugging …

After putting the condition on, the game runs. When the crash begins, There is nothing different about the output of those lines that I can tell than what was displaying before. Of course once the video freezes, that line of output is no longer being dumped to the display either.

I finally got the code to compile. I simply removed SDL_net from my system. Even using the macports version didn't work. Anyway, I added the code wd and starting the game has become an act of congress now. The debugger screen is just spitting out that output continiously after I attempt to execute …

Any updates on this? I tried modifying all kinds of settings myself but the issues eventually happens no matter what. I tried replicating this in the 0.66rc1 Universal Binary that was being distributed and it happens there as well. I am unable to compile my own version as I get the following error: …

I can verify this issue on OSX. I have a C2D Macbook Pro and the same thing happens. Except in my instance, the game music is still playing, the mouse in the game still moves, it's just the action in the game itself is frozen and nothing responds to my clicks inside the game. I don't think it's a …

Don't worry about it then. I use Linux about a third of the time, but since I've found a way to make it work, that is all that matters. I appreciate you looking into this for me though. If you want go ahead and post the diff, if anything it'll give me more insight into the internals of DOSBox.

So wd, does that mean that the next version of DOSBox will have a fix for this? That would make my crappy day a far better one. No pressure though 😀 If the answer is yes, could you tell me whether or not the code is in CVS yet and if so, what the commit date was? Thanks a lot guys...

Ok after some more testing... I have found a way to make programs for VBDOS 1.0 compile. It comes with two math libraries and choosing the "alternate" library allows compilation to happen successfully. It is only when I use the "80x87 or Emulator Math" library that things go bad. So it seems like …

I never get a resulting executable. DOSBox dies before I can get quite that far. There are some temporary files, of which I assume one is likely the initial compiled object module. Even executing the LINK.EXE file, I get an immediate crash. It seems as if my initial post was inaccurate however. I …

All, Everytime I try to compile an EXE file using either some version of QBASIC of VBDOS1, DOSBox crashes and gives me a "CALL: Descriptor type 12 unsupported" error in the console. The error seems to be related to the linking process as manually executing the binary for that in VBDOS1, results in …

No need for my cracked EXE files for that game anymore, eh? Ahhh well... I'm too lazy too change seeing as how I've still got the same same installation directory. I also use a cue/bin image of the mech2 CD that was generated using Alcohol 120 sometime ago. I mount that in Daemon tools and then I …

I can't believe this thread is still being read after all this time. Glad I could be of assistance though. Oh and by the way, DOSBox still rocks!

Interesting... I got the game running stabily by using the 10-09-2005 version of the CVS-Compile build. That build seems to get rid of all off the SDL segmentation faults I was getting. No more WINDIB on this laptop baby! http://cvscompile.aep-emu.de/dosbox.htm

You can modify the speed factor the game uses by opening the INSTALL.OPT file in the text editor and changing the setting present in that file. No matter what I use I have been unable to get this game running stabily or correctly under DOSBOX 0.63... oh well. Maybe next version, eh?

If you perform a maximum install you don't need a nocd directory.

I believe CD Audio even worked fine with the cracked …

I found the solution: You have to MOUNT the jones CD as a CD. You have to INSTALL the game. You have to then run the game from the directory it was installed to using the batch file it GIVES you. If you don't do it this way - it WILL not be able to initialize the AUDBLAST driver no matter what. Even …

Another thought... Perhaps its a label issue? Even though the CD is mounted using the correct label option, I've heard others mention that some games seem to check for the label in off-color manners that seem to circumvent the emulated label. I've seen this mentioned regarding Pandora Detective …
