Now this was a head scratcher for me, so the green area is related to DosBox itself ?, and the color was black ? No, the teal background is part of the game. I was able to effect a color change to it, and found that I had not taken into account the "font" images and other images that have that …

Are you talking about the "Tab+B" dialog in debug mode? To the best of my knowledge: that won't change the teal color around the viewport, i.e. what you get when you shrink it down. It'll only change the color of the narrow overscan area which surrounds the active VGA display. The overscan is what …

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, so mods feel free to move it to the correct one if it isn't. The game Wolfenstein 3D has a function for changing the border color. This is the color of the area surrounding the viewport and status bar. Here's an example: https://wayneca.neocities. …

Well, I'll be switched! That fixed it. There's something about the folder name DOSBox-0.74-3 that breaks it. I installed it again to DOSBox-0.74-3a in the Program Files (x86) folder and it fixed it. I uninstalled the DOSBox-0.74-3 copy and renamed DOSBox-0.74-3a to DOSBox-0.74-3 and it was broken …

I'll have to look at that. The installer puts it in Program Files (x86), and I wasn't aware you could change the installation path.

I uninstalled 0.74-3 and reinstalled it using a fresh copy of the installer I just downloaded. The same thing happens. The application does not display the correct icon in the Properties window, even though it does display the correct icon in the explorer window, and the desktop shortcut displays …

I noticed that STEAM and GOG both include DOSBox in their game installations for the Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny games, but neither one is version 0.74-3. In the case of STEAM, it is version 0.74-2, and in the case of GOG it is version 0.74-0. In both cases the DOSBox executable shows the …

I posted a question on the windows help site. I think this issue may be related to the new version update of windows 10 that I installed last week. It was then that the issue with DOSBox started.

It used to be there, but now (for some unknown reason) I get a generic document icon in the Taskbar and in the Properties window. Nothing I have tried has restored it. It shows the icon on the desktop shortcut and on the actual exe. It just doesn't show it in the taskbar when the program is running …

I was looking for the default config file when I realized I didn't have a 64-bit version of DOSBox. It's the 32-bit version. Upon looking for the 64-bit version I found there is no 64-bit version. I must have gotten it confused with another app I downloaded. At any rate, nothing I try makes the …

Maybe some background process on your PC ? What kind of tools are running in your taskbar ? Since you mentioned this, could it have anything to do with the hwe map editor also being open at the same time? It's based on the original mapedit, but runs in windows and doesn't need an emulator. I'm not …

I have a Pavilion 64-bit (Intel Core i5-6200U 2.3/2.4 GHz) Windows 10 notebook computer, with a 1 TB drive and 6 GB of RAM. I installed the 64-bit version of DOSBox and have been using it to play the MS-DOS variant of the game Soko-Ban for a while now. It works flawlessly. Recently I decided to play …
