It won't convert the profiles you already created, only the new ones from now on.

There's an option to do just that. However, it's just not activated by default, and sometimes I think it should.

@Jo22: I added your list of additions to the first message in the thread, thanks for your work.

I don't know... the original goal was to build a list of games, but that was achieved a long time ago (it's on the first page), so then it turned to PCjr / Tandy woes, which is different but not completely off topic. I say write what you wish, as long as it is related to PCjr / Tandy emulation and …

Try with different versions... in the end I found out my version was corrupt.

For some reason, the correct colors appear if you use the option cputype=386_prefetch.

DOS Harddisk images don't work yet, right? I could run a few PC Booters, everything looks fine. Glad to have another PC emulator on the scene.

IA Launcher works with any version of DOSBox. It simply calls the dosbox command that's in your PATH . For a few games, however, it uses a custom DOSBox configuration file to get them to work using the -conf argument. I got a python error message on startup until I installed the last official …

That's pretty cool. I have a few requests and bug reports for your program: 1) The program only works if you have DOSBox v0.74-3 installed. Advanced users prefer SVN builds, with added features or not. You may prefer to stick to vanilla DOSBox, but I think an option to add your own path to DOSBox …

Neat! Didn't know about that.

The problem is that with DOSBox not directly emulating bottlenecks such as the slowness of video memory, there is no direct translation of release year/MHz to DOSBox cycles. Finding a good cycle value has to be done empirically; there is no MHz-to-cycles formula that is "accurate". Yes, I can …
Re: Cycles settings for "RoboCop" and "Test Drive III"?
Posted on 2021-01-02, 23:24
Yes, although that method strikes me as inaccurate. I'd rather use figures based on something. Using this method, "RoboCop" seems playable at around 200-700 cycles. And "Test Drive II" at around... I'd be damned, 3000 cycles! I'd still like to hear other opinions, really. Even better if it's people …
Cycles settings for "RoboCop" and "Test Drive III"?
Posted on 2021-01-02, 20:39
OK, I imagine this has been asked before, but still... in my collection of DOS games that I run with DOSBox, there are two games that never seem to work properly, no matter what configuration I try with them. They're always either too slow or too fast. 1) RoboCop by Data East (EGA, 1989): https://i. …

That is still possible by adding mt32 in the 'generic' dynamic options in File->Preferences->Dynamic Options. These are shared by all DOSBox versions that are not using version-specific settings. However, I'd rather not add these kind of options to DBGL's defaults as it would likely lead to …
Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

The only alternative I see is to enable it for all builds of DOSBox. What would happen if regular DOSBox gets the command midi=mt32? If it switches to default, that would be OK. If it doesn't or or as a result it doesn't play any MIDI, then it's out of the table. What do you think?
Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)
Posted on 2020-12-29, 17:50
In midi device, mt32 is not available. Dosbox-x support mt32 with the last version. With dosbox ece, mt32 is available. Is there any solution ? There is, just make sure you're using this latest DBGL beta build, and make sure you add the value 'mt32' in the DBGL DOSBox version-specific dynamic …

Using latest beta, I'm having trouble importing a games package made with DBGL v0.92. Not a fresh install, but... UPDATE: I tried with a fresh install, the program crashed when the actual importing was about to start. Mmmmm...

Found an untranslated item on 0.93beta5. I must have missed it when I revised the Spanish translation: https://i.imgur.com/txJiPFs.png Where it reads "Load settings" it should read "Cargar". EDIT: Also noticed this, if I press the "Load settings" button next to the PC configs while none is selected …

It's not that different to D-Fend Reloaded. If anything I appreciate that it is multi-platform and that the interface is less cluttered. But again, they both are built around the same program, DOSBox, so that implies the options and its usage are pretty similar.
