Well, got the copy command working right.... Now back to the libpng and zlib stuff again...

The problem is I couldn't get any to compile, and the site I linked were the only already compiled ones I could find where I could get the same version in VC lib and Windows DLL format. I was able to compile the SDL_Net binaries just fine, but then, the already compiled ones are the exact same …

I can get the debugger working with pdc34dllw.zip, but is there a newer or older version of libpng and zlib to use with DOSBox? That could be a problem, it would be really nice to know which version DOSBox is expecting. What was .74 compiled with. Are they still using the same versions on the …

I've been crashing when taking screenshots since .74. I crash with .74, with SVN, with Daum, I had always just assumed it was my system. I'm long overdue for a re-install anyways. Just been putting it off till I clean up a lot of this crap I've built up. Going through all these discs and cds for one …

next question, how do I get it to compile a release version? I keep changing it from Debug to Release, but when I build, it switches itself back to debug.

Sweet Success :) Got it to compile with 3 warnings. Found the pre-compiled png, zlip, and curses libraries at This site. Older versions, but they were the latest ones that were already compiled and ready to go. I had to compile the SDL_Net library myself (v1.2.8) but it compiled just fine for me. …

OK, found one problem.... Got the stripped down version to compile by simply using an older version of SDL (1.2.15 instead of 2.0). I wonder if your problem with the other libraries might have to do with version as well? Still looking for a list of what DOSBox needs, hopefully it will include …

I cannot even get it to compile with those features disabled. Kept failing with downloaded libraries for zlib, sdl, sdl_net, png, and curses. So I decided to first start over and follow the wiki to the letter. Deleted everything, re-installed, re-downloaded, the tried again. Again, I ended up with …

Yes, was in the middle of reading it when my e-mail pinged with your post. Right now, I'm trying to find the libraries I need to compile it without removing features (such as the ability to take screenshots.) That's one of the things I didn't like about the SVN build available. If I follow the wiki, …

Well, that isn't going to work. Compile fails right off the bat because 3 files cannot be found. SDL.h, SDL_NET.h, and PNG.h. They don't exist in either the Visual Studio directory or in the SVN I downloaded (the 3858 snapshot.) It seems it also doesn't address the copy command which some installers …

The next question then is, would this code prevent DOSBox from being compiled on another host system? Followed, if it wouldn't, by, is there any chance of it making it into the official code? Examining the differential file, I quickly got lost :( But I did notice that it seemed to alter several …

Or they could just use "set arj_sw=-c" like has already been suggested. That works with arj based installers that use DEARJ.exe to install the game. However, I can think of other ways the forced time stamp might cause a problem. Also, what if there are installers that I don't have right not (or …

Just did a quick search. There is a library, but all it does is allow you to access the host systems high level functions (WinAPI for windows.) You actually have to specify the function, so the command would differ from host system to host system. So the code would have to be different for every …

Most compilers, such as Borland C++ for Win32, HiSoft C++ for Amiga, "whatever c++" for MAC OS X, etc... come with a set of libraries or "includes" that standardize this. Every system, for example, has a different means of drawing a box on the screen. The libraries take the details of how to do …

yes that is right. dosbox doesn't allow the date of time being set. Ok, I remember reading that thread now. But it still doesn't explain why the installer is reading the date/time wrong. It asks for disk 2, then right off the bat says that the piece of archon.pkg on disk 2 has a different time/date …

2 games for sure, and 1 suspected will not install in DOSBox because of a Date/Time mismatch error. I had honestly thought the disks were bad in these cases. But the following games don't install correctly in DOSBox because the archive thinks that the date/time don't match on an archive continuation …

Can't read it off the disk the label fell off ages ago and don't have the box any more.... I "think" it might be, when I start the game it gives the line "020888 iv2.3" at the top of the screen.
Alternate Mouse Driver?
Posted on 2014-02-16, 05:01
I'm going through some old games, and I'm having a problem with the mouse on one of the "Centerfold Squares". For some reason, the mouse doesn't seem to want to map itself to the screen properly. I'll click on one spot, only to have another half way across the screen activate. It will sometimes …

It would be, except stupid Windows 3.1 won't see the drive unless it's there when it starts up. I have the config set to go straight into Win3, then exit when I leave Windows. It would be the same as using Windows' MS-DOS prompt to mount, unmount, mount each image as I get to them. Yes, suddenly …
