When I start DOSBox on my new system (running Windows XP), I get an error if there is no disk in A:. I have to click on Continue three times. I do want to be able to access A: from within DOSBox sometimes. That is why I mapped drive A:. This problem did not happen with Windows 98. Sincerely, Gene …

While it is true that programming for game compatibility will mean that overall DOS programs will be more compatible, there are alot of specific cases where this will not be true and in some cases may never (or may be a long time) happen at all. So for those wanting DosBox to be more than a game …

I am pretty sure ms-dos itself did the same thing with some files. Not that I ever saw. I have been using the batch file with the type command for years. What it does is display a file that contains the ANSI codes for displaying the command prompt at the bottom of the screen. It has never displayed …

With the type command, if a file has a , DOSBox will display that as well (as a left arrow) on my system. This was also the case with 0.63. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

I have a parallel printer that I want to be able to print from in DOSBox. I have read a number of posts on printing from DOSBox. The majority of the posts that I read are from about two years ago. Has the situation changed any with DOSBox 0.65? Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

I add my congratulations as well. I found that version 0.65 loads more slowly (taking about twice as long on my system), but seems to run quite a bit faster. With 0.63, I had some trouble with the slowness of arrow key repeating since I use DOSBox mainly to run WordStar 2000. This problem appears to …

If you want a full x86 emulator, you should look into Bochs or QEMU. I think DOSBox is fine at its current direction, ie. focus on supporting DOS gaming. Considering thats all people will use it for.....I'm glad. I use DOSBox for running WordStar 2000. Some of the later changes in Windows have …

[quote="ChaosFish"]Nice concept. I think, though, an icon shouldn't have much "hidden meanings". Although it's cool, it doesn't remind me anything of DOS at first sight, and first sight is the most important thing about an icon. So if you could make an icon that somehow combines a box and DOS at the …

uhm 24 bpp is the colordepth of your screen inside your os. Dosbox prefers 16 bit color Ah, "bits per pixel"? No wonder it is not adjustable. I was thinking it might have to do with frames. (Just a mild case of TLA poisoning.) 3. intro should work but does not. "help" does, but not "intro". Thanks …

I just recently downloaded DOSBox. It is great. With it, I can use one of my favourite programs: WordStar. I do have some minor problems that do not appear in the FAQ (that comes with the program) and that might be due to my non-game use of DOSBox. 1) When I start DOSBox, the first window displays: …
