output=openglnb aspect=false Hi BardBun, I haven't tried openglnb yet. Will give it a try next week. As for aspect=false, I don't like the distorted image it generates. For instance, in the Red Baron game, the original image is 320x200 px, and the VGA card transformed it to 640x480 in orther to fit …

At least have scaler=normal2x because VGA was doublescanned. Hi, leileilol, I've changed from scaler=none to scaler=normal2x, and I didn't notice any improvement in the images. I've attached two images of a 1990's game called Red Baron , one for each scaler. Should it have improved? I am not a …

Hi all, DOSBox has a plethora of configuration options regarding image generation, allowing us to play our favorite retro games. For my taste, the best DOSBox options are: [sdl] fullscreen = true fulldouble = false fullresolution = desktop windowresolution = original output = opengl [dosbox] machine …

Commodore 386SX-16 took a vinegar bath. It had some nasty battery goo. Yes, it got revived! Two long beeps + three short beeps. I think it needs a battery. Hi @PD2JK, I didn't know about this method of cleaning a board with a vinegar bath. What kind of vinegar or mixture do you use? And for how …

Hi everyone, I was using DOSBox ECE r4447, and upgraded it today to r4481. I've noticed that the line below was removed from the dosbox-ece.conf file: gusrate = 44100 I am supposing that it was also removed from the SVN version. What was the reason behind this removal? Does it mean that the gusrate …

Hello everyone, This question is regarding emulation of Roland MT-32 and CM-32L on DOSBox-ECE. Researching the web, I've found that the sampling rate of a Roland MT-32 is 32000 Hz. But DOSBox-ECE's config.conf brings: [midi] mt32.rate = 44100 Can this mismatch of sampling rates cause inaccuracies in …

Hi everyone! I installed DOSBox ECE r4444 today. To record one of my games, I pressed CTRL-ALT-F5, and as a result the sound of the game became really distorted. I pressed CTRL-ALT-F5 again to stop recording, and the sound normalized. To investigate, I reinstalled the previous release I've been …

There is one wild idea. Would it be possible to install Windows 2000 on that machine? I think there are proper W2K drivers for ATI 3D Rage Pro LT (to be checked). Then, you could use Virtual PC 2004 to install Win3x, and get 24-bit color thru the emulated S3 Trio64 video card.

Hi jmarsh, I edited my last sentence, since my message was unclear. All releases until 4329 (including 4329) were fine. From 4329 I updated to 4356, and 4356 was not fine. So, the problem appeared in a to be determined release between 4329 and 4356.

Hi everyone. I've been playing using the SVN build for quite some time now. Until version 4329, all was fine. From 4329 I updated directly to 4356, and something odd happened — while playing, or watching a cutscene inside the game, sometimes the game freezes for (say) a tenth of a second, …

(...) but the fmstrength parameter is internal 'hardware' balance which games don't have access to. That's why I haven't the foggiest idea as to why those two games sound exactly the same even when I configure DOSBox-ECE with fmstrength=1.
