Okay, maybe I was accidentally pressing alt+f1, thanks for letting me know. I do use a frontend called LaunchBox.
What did I do?
Posted on 2021-12-31, 18:28
I was having trouble with keyboard keys not working in dosbox. I was playing "Star Wars: Dark Forces" with a gamepad along with a program called "AntiMicro" to assign keyboard keys to the gamepad and while I was playing the game certain keys stopped working, for example I couldn't bring up my map …

Dosbox portablility
Posted on 2021-09-05, 22:13
I'm trying to emulate windows 3x and the instructions require Dosbox (which I have through Launch-box) so I tried to download another Dosbox for the Win3x emulator but the download from this site wants to be installed. I don't like installing games because I like to have the convenience of being …
Proportional dosbox resolutions
Posted on 2021-08-19, 19:09
Some of the games I play in DosBox don't need the full resolution of the screen my computer runs (1920x1080), I'm guessing this is because they were designed for computers with a CRT screen that is for the most part full screen. This makes me want to window DosBox so maybe I can have something like …

I already have DosBox through the frontend program LaunchBox, do I need another folder of DosBox separate for Windows 3 or can they use the same program?

I see it. Thank you for letting me know. Mine was already set to auto so it automatically chose the right core already.

I couldn't find the edit feature for my last post so I will just add to it. I experimented and changed "timed=no" to "timed=false" and I was able to get the CPU cycles to max so I now the joystick works and I have smooth game play. 1. I still don't know what they meant by "emulation core:normal" but …

That kind of works, thank you. I checked those sources, I don't have any trouble calibrating my joystick to my computer (Windows 10), I also don't really have problems with dead zones as I know how to adjust them, but the link https://www.gog.com/forum/wing_commander_series/joystick_deadzone?pp= …
Joystick calibration issues
Posted on 2021-05-24, 21:07
Some dos games have a Joystick calibration screen before they start. In this screen you usually need to move the joystick to the center, top left, and back to center. I have found dos games have trouble recognizing my Thrustmaster T-Flight Stick X, however I have found a program called "Antimicro" …
Can't get Earthsiege to recognize joystick
Posted on 2020-12-28, 20:19
I am trying to use a "thrustmaster, t flight stick X" joystick on my windows 10 computer while playing "MetalTech: Earthsiege" but the game won't recognize the joystick. It works on other programs, do I need to install something? Is my joystick too new for a game from 1994 to recognize? Also, not as …
Do I need multiple DosBox apps?
Posted on 2020-11-01, 15:04
I am trying to get involved in other forms of emulation that require Dosbox. I already use Dosbox with a front-end program called Launchbox but it sounds like I also need Dosbox to emulate windows 3x games and mac games through Fusion PC 3.0. Can one Dosbox be used in multiple programs or do I need …

I got it working, I switched and the video intro isn't slides, it's a complete animation. It gets a little chopping and isn't smooth so I tried changing this part of the dosbox configuration file core=auto cputype=auto cycles=auto cycleup=10 cycledown=20 to core=auto cputype=auto cycles=50000 …

Once you're at the D: prompt type "dir". Gives you a directory listing. Type "intsall" to install the game to your mounted C: drive. I assume you mean "install" because that works, the game is installed. The game didn't install to a folder called es but to a folder called "sierra" and then another …

I too am interested in a dos box that has save states. I tried using ykhwong's DosBox SVN build on the dos game "Arkaniod" just to try it out since that game doesn't have a natural save feature. It didn't work, it was full-screen but the game was mini-screen somehow and the save feature didn't work. …
