DOSBox Plus on a Funkey S.

Posted on 2022-07-29, 15:08

in DOS
Hi, First of all, I hope this is the right forum for this. I just got a Funkey S, for those who do not know, it is a miniature gaming device. I got DOSBox Plus working on it. But, I cannot figure out how to get the dpad to work as an emulated mouse. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

DOSBox on the Zipit Z2.

Posted on 2018-04-20, 01:05

Hi, I (successfully?) ported the Ben Nanonote and Dingoo A320 source code for DOSBox to the Zipit Z2. It works fine, except that the display is sideways and is garbled up. I can tell that it works, because I am able to "exit" the emulator and type commands, I just can't see what i'm typing. Is/are …

Dosbox on the Zipit Z2

I cross compiled Dosbox (version 0.74) on my Debian box, using the arm cross compiler. When trying to execute Dosbox on my Zipit, I get this error: Exit to error: Could not initialize video: No video mode large enough for 640x400 And, yes, I did follow Mozzwalds tutorial on installing Dosbox on the …

Windows 98 in DosBox.

Hi, I'm having problems getting the video drivers to work in DosBox for Windows 98. It seems that no matter which video driver I choose, it will not boot into 256 colors or greater. Every single time I have to login using "safe mode." I'm banging my head over this. Anyone know a solution? Thanks.

It might be a good idea to link to your previous thread on the subject to avoid repetition. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=48996 According to the DOSBox readme, the "noconsole" switch has no use under Linux. (You see, in the Windows port, DOSBox automatically spawns its own console …

Ok. Say, I do this: dosbox -c "edit" If "edit" is in the path, will it actually execute it? Even if there isn't a "visible screen"? I have a script to execute several commands. I just want to know if they are being executed. And yes, I made sure they actually execute with a "visible screen".

Well, now we're getting somewhere. You need to set the environment variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dummy before starting DOSBox. In Linux, I think the command is "export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dummy". Thanks for that. But i'm still having issues. We're getting closer, though. CONFIG:Loading primary settings from …

No. POLL.BAT requires that the full path is intact. Hence the c: drive needs to be set to "/" (root). The program that POLL.BAT calls has a data file that requires that path. Then the filename is incorrect. In case it's not clear, all paths in DOSBox are relative to whatever drives you have mounted …

Well, in that case you're not mounting the right directory. You would need dosbox -c "mount c /home/imp/util" -c "c:" -c "call \\home\\imp\\imp\\poll.bat" -c "exit" I'm not sure what you're expecting "path" to do. No. POLL.BAT requires that the full path is intact. Hence the c: drive needs to be …
