Re: Screenshots of the current CVS

Posted on 2003-10-06, 07:44

Question about "Ultima 8" (reported as working earlier in this thread): what kind of settings do you have? And are you using patched or unpatched version of the game? I cannot get the game work. If DPMI is switched on it gets as far as reading the file with intro (it is visble in debug version). But …

> differences between CVS version .** and Debug CVS version. I have not ever tested QFG4, my coment concerns only the following bug which led to difference between release and debug version of CVS: Up to yesterday there used to be a bug in version compiled without debugger. There was one small piece …

Re: Bigger, better, faster alpha version

As far as I know, CANADACOW *NEVER EVER* thought about not releasing sources. So it has been always clear that sources will be available. But there are people around here for whom it is just not enough. Recently CANADACOW released a binary for testing (alpha version, just a snapshot of his work - as …

Re: Bigger, better, faster alpha version

Really? Are you volunteering to contact them about it and ask for an exemption? Or are you willing to take up the legal defense in the case of a licensing dispute? I'm sorry, but if anyone is a moron here, it is those who encourage canadacow to ignore the license of other software, on the grounds …

I would ignore those licensing maniacs... :-) I doubt anybody from DOSBOX developers etc. would be so picky about it. Anyway, on which version is your DOSBOX version based (0.58 ?). I just hoped to try Ultima 7 (which works in current CVS, but unfortunately not in your binary). Otherwise I tried it …

> Apparently they reused the timbale sound on the Sound Canvas. ... As such, I would still argue that the remaining 53 sounds are in the public domain. Well, I am not a lawyer, so this is just my opinion (and as such it can be completely misleading). IMHO the whole ROM set is being used. The fact …

Re: Tandy sound in AGI Sierra games

Posted on 2003-09-17, 08:45

CANADACOW implemented better support for Tandy graphic & sound into DOSBOX. Unfortunately it was not ever completely integrated into DOSBOX CVS (there were some big changes being done in graphic routines - VESA modes etc. - so it was probably postponed on later). So it is available only as part of …

There have been support for CD Audio ever since CD support was introduced (0.58). I tried it succesfully both to play audio CDs and the game with audio tracks (CD version of Dark Sun 2). The problem must be elsewhere: unfortunately we do not know how the game check the CD. :-( Somebody should get …

Re: MT-32 emulator and DOSBOX question

I'll be rereleasing a DosBox/Open-Source version along with a driver with the next release. ... Good to see you changed your opinion. :-) Anyway, I think that if code is well written its core can be used without modifications in different projects. Project specific things would be in one or a few …

Re: Cool Feature Idea for the (distant) Future

Posted on 2003-09-12, 13:50

Using combination Dosbox + Daemon Tools (CD emulator) + CD IMAGE OF THE GAME you can avoid using physical CD (and still have CD music). I tried it with CD version oof Dark Sun 2 and it worked (well, but it requires a good computer - on my 1Ghz Athlon everything worked ok, but too slow). I guess that …

Re: MT-32 emulator and DOSBOX question

Posted on 2003-09-11, 06:07

PSZ: You misunderstood me a bit. As far as I know MT-32 emulation needs some copyrighted *data* file. In other words, the CANADACOW'S code has no copyright problem. What I meant was that the code would look for the copyrighted file during startup (very simple check) and if it would found nothing, it …

Wizardry 7 works, no need to mount any floppy. 1.

Re: MT-32 emulator and DOSBOX question

Posted on 2003-09-10, 05:54

Copyrighted files: I think these could be be downloadable separately (and if user would not download them, MT-32 emulation just would not be available). There is absolutely no need for them to be a part of the DOSBOX package. Something similar to the way Exult (Ultima 7 engine) handles sampled …

MT-32 emulator and DOSBOX question

Posted on 2003-09-08, 13:47

Hello I have just read through the forum a bit and looked on CANADACOW's page and I am not clear about one thing (or I missed it somewhere :-) ): Since now standalone driver is being made, does it mean that DOSBOX integration was dropped completely? (there is "DosBox Binary (discontinued)" on the …

Re: Bochs PC Emulator

Posted on 2003-09-08, 10:00

I periodically try to use new versions of Bochs, but I usually end up on some stupid bug - usually some error message when doing something normal, but once it filled up 500 MB of harddisk space by repeatedly logging some error message, once I tried to copy files from W98 CD and it just copied half …
