I finished playing EOB2 and now i started playing EOB3 under dosbox 0.63 (Linux version). The game works fine, but its a little sluggish. I remember in my dos-days that EOB3 always was rather heavy for most PCs out there. Is the slugginess normal in EOB3? has anyone managed to make it run perfectly? …

Well, if you read what I wrote on my homepage, you'd know that I only intend to update when I do a new build for myself. Which means between 2 weeks and 2 months. Sorry to say that... if you like, I can upload an all-in-one patch i'm sorry, i didn't see that. no worries, i'll wait around for a next …

indeed. though, a few years ago when RPM packages came out i promised myself that i'll never complie code that isn't mine. enough is enough, i don't want to spend my valuable time hunting down gcc problems, library incompatibilities, script bugs, 'configure' parameters, 'make' dependencies, linux …

Since 0.64 isn't going to be released any time soon, i thought i'd try the latest CVS builds that have some important fixes for me. I downloaded a binary from Moe's website (as suggested in the sticky thread about CVS builds), unfortunately, it requires SDL 1.3, which isn't available for Fedora Core …

indeed that would be a much better choice from a software engineering point of view. I do agree with you there.

I see what you mean. Maybe it would be worth your trouble to reconsider. Just imagine dosbox using DirectX under winxp for audio and ALSA under linux, even OS/2 would benefit by using DART or UNIAUD (port of alsa for os/2). Ofcourse the complexity of the code would skyrocket... but this is just a …

Just out of curiosity, this "mixer" we are talking about in dosbox. Is that just a software mixer for different audio sources within the game? (emulating channels or whatever?). Can this be replaced by sending all streams, irrelevant of frequency, to ALSA? Since ALSA will use hardware mixing on …

3. Since i'm in linux, i've only got surface,overlay,opengl,openglnb. I've switched between them and didn't see a noticable difference. I'll leave the default surface i guess. 5. i'm a freak so i'd like a free cycle-upgrade please :happyhappy: i'll try different values and see the results. 6. Wait a …

Here is a list of things i've discovered about dosbox and i'd like to share with others. 1) Under Fedora Core 4 Linux, which uses ALSA by default, dosbox will sometimes use alsa directly and other times it loads 'esd'. I dont know why or how come it switches between the two on the same system. …

so, just for reference, how fast CPU do we need in order to do just about everything under dosbox (44khz audio, mixing, vga graphics, etc)?

The audio is delayed by several seconds under Linux only. It works fine under WinXP. For example, once i click on a door button, i …

thank you all for your help, problem solved. Its a game related bug, nothing to do with dosbox. though the problem with the setup.com (or install.com if you have the cdrom version) still exists. no big deal, i can just edit the sb2.ini by hand.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work for me. I tried your savegame, but when i load, it appears i'm playing against myself, as if i haven't loaded a game. I installed dosbox under my Fedora Core 4 (via rpm), and tried the game there as well. No difference, i can save (.SAV file appears in current …
