Re: Pentium support for dosbox?

Posted on 2005-01-26, 01:29

that "optimized" version of Descent 2 for S3 Virge that was a total joke. S3 ViRGE: The 3-decelerator. (IIRC part of the problem, other than the obvious of the S3V being a piece of crap, was running in 16 bit colour--just plain more data to push. I believe someone tried to claim it was running at …

Re: Problems compiling DosBox (CVS) With MinGW

Posted on 2005-01-26, 01:18

I only copied certain files (like configure - it's is missing in CVS releases from sourceforge) from the dosboxcvs.tgz to my DOSBox code folder. That sounds like it might very well be your problem. The gnu auto* utils are subtle and quick to breakage, and I wouldn't mix and match pieces from one …

Thanks on the comments re: the VESA support of ATI...I've been trying to decide between a Radeon 9250 and FX5700LE and that pretty much settles it. Incidentally, the Linux support for earlier Radeons is far better than for nVidia; see http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ATIRadeon (which is …

Re: Virtual Gameport Emulation??...

I always thought that analog gameport joysticks used variable resistors and thus would report analog axes positions by varying the voltage returned to the gameport. They vary the time it takes for a capacitor to discharge through the resistor. Program charges capacitor, keeps polling until it's …

Re: A Biggy ;) Multi-Threading?

Interesting. Any idea of how much of a performance boost it gives? On a dual PIII 933 system, running Wing Commander II under 0.63 with cycles=5000, top reports about 70% CPU usage from one dosbox thread and 0.4% from the other (this is in combat). Of course, top is notoriously unreliable under …

Re: DosBox and Roland again...

I think that the need to use OS midi interface is worse, for example if i want to play Prince of persia 2 with MT32 sound, i need to change in XP the default midi device, because i can't tell Dosbox to use mt32(Dosbox always uses default) If there is an issue, this is it. The ability to specify a …

Developer documentation

Given that the source is quite sparsely commented, I have two questions: When adding significant chunks of code for a patch, would it be preferred to maintain this sparseness or is a more literary style acceptable? I'm not going to submit patches that just go through and comment existing …

Re: "man" under MinGW?

The usual source for native Unix utilities is: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ You may be able to massage rman/polyglotman into working for you. That said, you'd have to track down the man pages themselves then. You may have to bit the bullet and install cygwin. Just pay close attention to the way …
