With solid cursors like this extracted from "The 11th hour", the results are quite impressive: http://usuarios.lycos.es/staufway/skull_src1.png Source 1 http://usuarios.lycos.es/staufway/skull_src2.png Source 2 http://usuarios.lycos.es/staufway/skull_diff.png Clean image (yellow represents alpha …

Finally I've made a program to calculate de differences between "n" input png files. When there are a lot of differences between the same pixel on the "n" images I set the alpha channel to 0 on the output image, i.e. 100% transparent, in other case I use the average color. The results aren't good …

evo, it is not a stupid idea at all. The problems are the cursor transparency and antialiasing, but I could use a threshold value (or better a pair of values to set a range). As you said, the key is to use radically different backgrounds. With plain backgrounds it would be an easy affair, but it is …

But it might work a bit better if you find some solid-coloured background, then you can use blue-screen like techniques (chromakeying) to extract the cursor more easily. I intended to do that. But the backgrounds are rather coloured/complex and is not possible. To make it just a bit more complex, …

I know It's a funny question, but, there is an easy way to capture the images of an animated cursor within DosBox? I've tried to capture video, convert the frames to png and then cut the cursor from the background. But it's SO hard... And the results aren't good enough.

That would be the top. There are "quite" Dos games with several CDs: Under a killing moon (4 cds), The Pandora detective (6 cds), Ripper (6 cds), The 11th Hour (4 cds), The 7th Guest (2 cds)... Prompt, if I can help you in any way (programming, documentation,...), please, tell me how.

I've tried several things. Using ISO files (without audio tracks) you can do something like that: 1) $mount -o loop t7g_disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom 2) Edit dosbox.conf: [autoexec] mount E /mnt/cdrom -t cdrom 3) Play the game until it demands CD 2. Then: $umount /mnt/cdrom $mount -o loop t7g_disc2.iso /mnt/ …

It seems that ISO image files doesn't support multitrack CDs (i.e. audio + data). A linux program called bin2iso converts a bin file to a ISO file and a set of wav files (audio files), so I think that. IsoBuster worked fine. It seems that If there aren't read errors (protection) then an IMG file ( …

Thank you, I'll try it. 😁

Thaks a bunch for your advice, DosFreak. It's an ingenious way to solve it. :cool: Thanks, Shed. How could I make an ISO image from a mixed CD (audio tracks + data track)? Clone CD only builds IMG files. On linux ccd2iso converts IMG files to ISO files, but only If they have one track. I've also …

Hello, Recently I've installed DosBox on my desktop (AMD Athlon 3000+) and my laptop (Pentium-M). I'm a Gentoo linux user. The current version of DosBox in Gentoo linux is 0.63. The 7th Guest (t7g) works almost perfectly; install hangs but not the game itself. The problem is related to the music …
