Re: slow game and music

What linux distribution are you running? If it's Ubuntu, just get the package timidity. For dosbox 0.73, your config is in ~/.dosbox/dosbox-0.73.conf (it's quick in terminal to just cut n' paste gedit ~/.dosbox/dosbox-0.73.conf ) In the config file [midi] section midiconfig=128:0 You probably need …

Re: Windows 7 ??

XP is probably more appropriate OS for your computer. If Windows 7 would somehow perform better, that would be great. Or am I misunderstanding here, you installed Ubuntu in Virtualbox with XP as the host? Then tried to get 3D? That was a waste in that case. I've got a 4 year old laptop here, and …

Not to mention the same could done before hand with qemu and now virtualbox . The latter adding support for 3D acceleration. I think Microsoft might be making an error letting people get comfortable with the thought of emulating XP (and why not 2000, 3.1, Vista, etc. all doable), then people can …

Re: BIG Problems With 3 InfoCom Games

Well, for one, frotz is a z interpreter, not the game itself. 2nd, frotz is very portable, so you don't need to run it in DOSBox at all (you could if you wanted to, but again, not necessary.) Just get it for the OS you need http://frotz.sourceforge.net/ You can run your game like frotz gamefile So …

Re: Timidity "sound server" support?

Posted on 2009-05-17, 07:04

In your dosbox.conf or .dosboxrc (I prefer the latter) [midi] # mpu401 -- Type of MPU-401 to emulate: none, uart or intelligent. # device -- Device that will receive the MIDI data from MPU-401. # This can be default,alsa,oss,win32,coreaudio,none. # config -- Special configuration options for the …

Re: Silent Service 2- runtime error R6003

Try this: Type SS2 It will work then error out Type SS2 VGA ADLIB 720 It will work as it should. File not found should be impossible if you make sure it is typed exactly as above, with SS2 at the beginning (that's the exe, the rest are the input parameters, so if the exe is there when you first try, …

Re: Are You Afraid Of The Dark on Vista

I don't have the game (or a copy), and I know it's important to always use the original media, especially since the original media does last forever, and modern computer equipment is backward compatible forever too. :pppt: That aside, for the sake of general dosbox use, one doesn't need to use …

Yes it works fine. I've beaten it twice within DOSBox. Anyway, it's the original sq4 too. http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/7666/dosbox72sq4uw5.th.jpg Check to make sure your mounted location is not read-only (or the files themselves) as the other poster suggested. I've had this cause problems with …

Re: Use DosBox NOT Virtual PC

Posted on 2007-07-14, 17:27

I don't think it was trolling, if I had tried to post there it probably would have been. DOSBox for DOS games, SCUMMVM several adventure games (heck even some AGI games now). For windows stuff go for WINE (it supports win16 stuff pretty well in my experience), qemu for anything else (or virtual box …

Re: Can't write config file!

Posted on 2007-06-05, 21:39

One thing I'm happy about, and I should have typed "man dosbox" before... I renamed the dosbox.conf in my home folder to .dosboxrc DOSBox loads its setting from there, no longer will my linux boxen have a dosbox.conf floating in home... 😀

Re: Dosbox .70 crashes as soon as I start it

Posted on 2007-04-24, 04:41

Ok I just tried Dark Sun under DOSBox 0.70. Loads fine, seems to play fine. http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1380/darksunsw0.th.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/1889/darksun2gg3.th.jpg I'm running it under Ubuntu Linux 7.04... DOSBox under XP shouldn't be any different... But I can't really …

Re: Civilization 1 Crashes

What did you do? It ran out of the box for me, on dosbox .63 and .65 for 2 different versions of civ1... version 475.01/1.301 Anyway everything worked, played though it several times... Improvements and all... Maybe your civ is corrupt? I don't want to mention any abandonware sites, but I'll mention …

Re: New proposed mount command syntax

Posted on 2006-05-26, 04:16

Right, in *nix environments this couldn't get confused as easily. But hey, having a way of mounting file images located in a mounted drive inside DOSBox is not a useless feature, and at least for windows (and for the sake of consistency) we should come up with some way of specifying whether it …
