Thanks for digging up those references ripsaw8080! Indeed; turns out I have 1.2.1 but without AdLib support - c'est la vie 😀

Looking for strings in CGII.EXE, you will find this segment: .^PSQRVW _^ZY[X r1tC PSQRVWU ]_^ZY[X adlib.dat !"$%& !#%'( !"#$%&(* !"#%')+- !$%&')+-/0 !#%&')+-/02 However, my version does't include the adlib.dat file; maybe there are some that did?

Nicknine, even though ATNET1 works for small downloads, I have also confirmed that large downloads (ie: DOOM shareware, ~1.2 MB), fails after 5+ minutes downloading; like you've suggested. This was confirmed when downloading DOOM1_2A.ZIP from bbs.dmine.net:24, using DOSBox at 6000 cycles running …

I'm using GUS for 16bit PCM effects or tracker/MOD style music for those listed below, like you mentioned @digger. Regarding audio formats, Cloudschatze shared https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=54670 stored and played at various combinations of 11, 22, or 44 KHz, bjt compiled a list of games …

It's a loss my friend; no one won, and RobinW is not further in modifying and building your .dmg package regardless. Why not just upload your exact source tree and scripts sitting on your HDD that you build with? Your call though. Will leave it at that.

fine... well done... if anyone needs a snapshot ask kcroft. I'm done.

SDL 2.0.12 was just released and has support for RISC OS, more controllers, and ARM SIMD optimizations. Phoronix summed it up nicely: RISC OS bits, support for the Google Stadia controller and other game controllers, a new video driver for offscreen rendering, ARM NEON optimizations, many bug fixes, …

Ok.. thanks and point taken. Which games are feeding the GUS 16,000 or 32,000 Hz sampled content? (as opposed to 22 and 44 KHz content). If there are games using 8, 16 or 32 KHz content that sounds clean (or cleaner) at a matching gusrate, then cool - let's turn those options back on. If a list is …

We limit them to 11 / 22 / 44, all of which play clean and in stereo for the 99-percentile cases. In most DOSBox use cases users are utilizing GUS for midi playback which uses many more channels (typically ~24) which means the master rate will be significantly lower and not an integer multiple of …

I tested PCM playback using mpxplay at 8, 11, 22, 32, 44, 48, and 49 with the GUS at default settings. That GUS fix does nothing useful, the internal playback sampling rate of the Ultrasound is not a fixed value and varies depending on the number of voices active. With gusrate configured in dosbox …

You’re right, the game probably is waiting for some specific sequence of codes being sent from the server it expects to connect to. If you can disassemble DOS programs (SoftICE or other tools), you could inspect its current position when it's sitting there waiting, and maybe discover the hardcorded …

Roy, amazing work! Seeing Netscape Navigator, before the bloated jump to Firefox, embedded with the last 13 years of cypher progress is truly a thing of beauty. Are you hosting your changes somewhere? I would love to build and run this on Linux.

On sourceforge, Marco Maccafferri posted a fix addressing at least some of these issues: https://sourceforge.net/p/dosbox/patches/287 To test it, you need the patch applied to both your DOSBox as well as the BBS's server-side DOSBox (assuming the BBS itself is running under DOSBox). If you don't …
