Oh... We will miss you so much. Seems my assessment of his IQ was right, after all. You just have to talk to the people in a language they understand. (:

Now, here's a daft guy. Mr. "Warcraft2lover", didn't you read the reply in the other thread ? And may i direct your kind attention to this FAQ, again? Or may i suggest you press "F1" in the game, and then choose "Keystroke Help"? All these resources, and the game manual too, will tell you, THAT …

Most of the "common RTS" shortcuts won't work in the DOS version, AFAIK. I think the DOS version only has the "go to previously defined map position" shortcut, nothing more in terms of "navigation" or group selection. I've started playing the DOS version, and switched to the Windows version (" …

Yeah, these "Guides" don't even talk about installing the games (only about unpacking archives) - according to these "Guides", it's as if there is no such thing as original games. I'd even remove the links in the original post if i were a mod.

Ehm... Why do you want to use an image in the first place? DOSBox' way of file handling is very convenient, and the "mount directory" approach is the default way of handling virtual drives. I can't think of any valid reason at all to use images. The only real reason i can think about is using an …

Don't know about VMWare, but when using plain images (no compression), you can copy files to/from an image with WinImage. I'm using this a lot with Qemu, for example. Having the ability to mount dirs would be much more convenient, of course.

Dear lord, don't they teach english in Sweden? Your posts are very, very hard to understand. No, you can't use ScummVM data files in DOSBox. That's why they are called "data files" - they represent only the game data, without any executables. DOSBox needs the executables to run the game. You'll have …

I think there's been a fix for the floppy label function. You could try a DOSBox CVS build.

DOSBox is a DOS game emulator primarily. It's not a PC emulator, or a DOS emulator. If you want to have "real" DOS functions, setup a virtual machine with a MS-DOS install. And i want to see the game that relies on CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK.

WCII runs perfectly well with dynamic core on my system (XP SP2). You don't need a crack for the game. Just copy all files from the CD to a folder, and mount it. An alternative would be to create and mount a BIN/CUE image (doing that would preserve the CDDA soundtrack). Yeah, I do H-a-l-9000. It's …

Romanus81, look for other .exe files on the CD, like "install.exe" or "dosinst.exe" or something like that. The game's manual or any readme on the CD might give hints on installation, too.
Re: DOSBox won't remember my mountings
Posted on 2008-07-05, 07:54
You probably did overwrite your original dosbox.conf with the one from the new DOSBox version(s). Adding mounts to the "autoexec" section of dosbox.conf has nothing to do with "skirting", it's one of the "official" ways to confgure your mountings.
Re: DosBox Problem with Xbox360 Controller on Pc
Posted on 2008-07-05, 07:39
Also, if you have not calibrated the controller in Windows, you may want to do that. The XBox 360 controller is a digital joystick, which means it doesn't need to be calibrated in Windows. I've been using both a XBox and a XBox 360 controller for quite some time now, on multiple systems, and i …

Farang: you don't need any special driver or helper program (XPadder is a great piece of software, but for a different purpose). You're probably seeing "drifting" of the joystick. First, calibrate your joystick within the DOS game you're playing. For some games, you have to use a special key …

Hm, that's interesting. Now i remember another topic i was discussing with wd: DOSBox will recognize my XBox controller (via XBCD driver) correctly, but i can't use the right thumbstick - it is simply ignored by DOSBox (for example, while trying to map it with the keymapper). At the time we were …

Hmmm... I know the "fcs" and "ch" entries in dosbox.conf, but i thought they are some kind of pass-through for real hardware. Did you actually try to use some kind of rudder/throttle control for games? I tried that some time ago, and didn't have any success. I had a long discussion with wd about …

h-a-l-9000: why wrong? Is there a way to assign a joystick axis to an analog throttle, or an analog rudder control? I'd be amazed if there was a way to do that. AFAIK, the "4axis" thingie in the .conf has something to do with two-joystick-mode. There's no way to map axes to game inputs, too.

SteelCrusader, TIE Fighter has never been released as Freeware, AFAIK. There are several auctions on Ebay, quite cheap too. I'd go for the "Collector's Edition CD-ROM". Oh, and DOSBox doesn't handle more than two joystick axes per joystick, unfortunately. This means no analog rudder or thrust …

No. Check out the DOSBox Readme, and the multitude of Tutorials and FAQ's here on VOGONS and on other websites. If you encounter a specific problem, open a new thread, and describe the issue in detail, in accordance to the posting guidelines. Good luck.
