Re: my revision attempt on DOS_shell:: CMD_TIME()

Here is fine, it's common to post a diff/patch file though, but these code changes are rather small. So don't worry too much about it. I have moved it to the patches forum, so it won't be forgotten. Thanks!

Please don't triple post. Lords of the Realm has a windows version that you could use. The DOS version is a 320x200 game (or 320x240 with aspect=true in dosbox) Neither of those 2 resolutions will fit in the resolution you want without black bars, unless you decide to go for different fullscreen …

something like dosbox.exe -conf dosboxhomm2.conf -conf dosboxhomm2_editor.conf ? although it depends in which directory you are when you execute this, as the paths for mount and imgmount are relative to your current directory so maybe something like cd DOSBox dosbox.exe -conf ..\dosboxhomm2.conf - …

Did your program support different IRQs for the soundblaster (as sb pro could be configured with IRQ 5) ? Otherwise try changing the emulated irq to 5. Otherwise, maybe make the game available for us to check it out, as we can't do much without the game in question

I used such a cable (UM ONE) with good results, but didn't play any of those games with my MT-32, so I guess it doesn't say that much. You could try the delaysysex option in a SVN build.

There is a routine, that sets the video back to ega, regardless of what you pick. Removing that routine does seem to make cga like graphics appear. The routine might be the effect of some tinkering, as the code behind that routine deals with reading the floppy disk.. (and is not used.. so maybe an …

You could try to change the speed of dosbox (cycles) to see if that changes the errors or not and another thing you could the dosbox setup on the old machine.

You could try setting the wanted serial mode in windows yourself, as for some reason, dosbox is not allowed/capable of doing so. Of course, no clue if your program actually uses that specific serial mode (5,5,n,1) (but those errors are from serial 2,3,4) and not serial one that gives the framing …

try plugging it in a different USB controller. Some don't work very well with USB to serial adapters. (at least that is what I think you are using)

A DOS program can query the mouse in various ways, but the most important distinction is that it can look at mickeys and at pixels. The ratio between mickeys and pixels is different between the X and Y direction. To be precise 8 and 16. Which might be your perceived difference between X and Y or not …

I once had report similar to that. (with the assumption that GPT had anything to do with it), but I couldn't reproduce the problem. It worked at my place with a GPT layout drive. Which version (update) of windows 10 are you on ?
