I've been having a great time with this portable platform and have been giving it to friends and family members. I'm running into an issue where two of the computers I used it on have no sound. I think the problem is in Linux, not Dosbox. Is there a way for me to change sound configurations? I'm not …

Also, maybe changing the SB type to what it already is can help because it causes a reset (i.e. "sbtype=sb16" as a command between games). This did the trick! Thank you for your help and for being patient with me. And thanks in general for your work on Dosbox and your presence in these forums. For …

Oh, sorry I should have been clear: I reset the mixer in between running the two games, so I wouldn't expect the first game to have any further effect on the mixer (unless there's something other than volume level at play that I can't see). Here's an approximation of the sequence: mixer MASTER 100: …

But the mixer probably isn't the issue, since the audio was still missing when I manually set it back to 100. When I said the game can't change audio configs, I meant the audio settings in dosbox.conf. But if it's not the mixer, and it's not the config, I'm not sure what else audio-related could be …

Actually while we're here, I have another issue when running one game after another. After running a CD-ROM game in Windows 3.1 (Wiggins in Storyland), and then returning to the DOS prompt, there are a bunch of DOS games that lose audio. I checked the mixer and it looks like Wiggins adds CDAUDIO (or …

I'm having a weird issue running two games- Kidpix, and Sesame Street Crayon. I wrote a batch menu to quickly select games, and when I run Kidpix, exit back to the batch menu, and then run Sesame, I get the message "Divide Error" and it crashes. If I run them one after the other just by typing in …

I'm running Windows 3.1 through dosbox (thanks to this forum!) so I assume this thread belongs here but mods can move it into dosbox if it belongs there. I'm trying to install My First Amazing World Explorer (hereafter "fawe") via a mounted ISO file, but every time I run the setup file inside …

There's another issue I've been trying to fix that is kind of interesting- In all of the Linux-based apps (zdoom, sdlquake, zsnes) the mouse polling rate seems very low. When I try a fast click in any of these apps, it doesn't register. I have to hold down the mouse button for a half second in order …

Just an update on my zdoom issues- I managed to get command lines working. It turns out that typing "zdoom" in DBD calls a batch file which has its own command line arguments. The first arg is a boolean for hosting/joining net play, and the second is the IP address to connect to. Theoretically you …

Thanks so much for this! It's perfect for a project I've been wanting to do for a while. Here are some issues I'm running into: - I want to be able to bypass the WAD menu for zdoom and launch directly into a specific WAD (because eventually I'll be running everything from my own .bat menu), but it …

Ah, I see it now. Reminds me of those obfuscated C programming competitions. As for the strings, I'll probably just take the lazy way out and check the date for the next 20 years. If my kid is still using this batch file in 2040, he can write himself a new one 😁

Thanks ripsaw, this works now that I have the SVN build. I'm eventually planning on running this batch file on this USB version of Dosbox , so hopefully I can just drop the SVN build in without messing anything up. (Edit: I just saw your edit and got it working on 0.74-3. The error message is not an …

I'm making a game menu batch file for my son's first computer ( they just don't make edutainment like they used to) and I want to be able to access system date so I can have special games appear on special days. I tried to use the %date% environment variable, but it doesn't seem to exist. Is there a …
