Well it could be that your computer is too slow for running the games you're trying in dosbox. Emulating requires a lot of power. I'd say my P3 800 turns into a 386 in dosbox. Anyway search the forum for setting that get the max out of your computer in dosbox.

I've got that one and I can assure you that you can't run doom era games well. With dynamic core and everything I'd say I can get close to my old 386 sx 33 but not more.

Works fine here. Core dynamic, 6000 cycles, soundblaster selected in game config. Maybe your computer is too slow for running this game in dosbox.

First of all we've got to be sure that dosbox recognizes your joystick. Look at the message window in dosbox. You should find something like "Using joystick (name) with n axes and i buttons." If it's there then dosbox has found your joystick and it's a compatibility problem with that game. In that …

This has been discussed billions of times. Always search before posting. Anyway...: You can't change the files value in dosbox. Dosbox sets it internally to a value that should be enough for most applications. Try running it and if it doesn't work try creating a "fake" config.sys in the folder …

I guess that SDL is to blame in this case. I find strange that SDL doesn't support cdrom in the zaurus port. If the device doesn't have a cdrom SDL should fake it or something. If the Zaurus port of the SDL requires you to modify your programs I wouldn't call it a real SDL :happyhappy: . Regarding …

I can only tell you the obvious but there it goes 😀: The game may have a way to configure input but I guess you've already tried that. If the game is set to use a joystick and it can't still find it you can't do much about it. Joystick doesn't work in some games in dosbox. Good luck

can it be that Sc dont support such a "Complicated" joystick, and that i have to buy a "simple one" -a 2 axis - 4 buttons gamepad/joystick?? :s-face: No, AFAIK games see a "standard" joystick. I think that this game has been discussed before. Search the forum. Anyway joystick doesn't work properly …

That's very strange. So after installing dosbox normally you can't open it and besides that it breaks windows?. When someone can't open dosbox is usually due to problems with the graphic card drivers but this doesn't look like it. Maybe there's something wrong with windows and dosbox just exposes it …

I don't think you can do much at the moment to get these games working (unless you want to correct the bugs yourself 😀). The last screenshot looks kind of fun. It seems that dosbox tries to draw graphics in 320x200x2 (or whatever) instead of the high res cga mode.

I've always wondered what the difference (and pros/cons) between MinGW and Cygwin are, as I'm unfamiliar with both. Well, I don't know if you know this but cygwin implements unix apis so that you can compile and run unix programs in windows. AFAIK Mingw is just a port of gcc and some unix utils to …

It works fine here. I'm using Turbo Pascal 7.0 on dosbox 0.63rc2 on winXP. It may be a problem with the write permissions on the directory where turbo pascal is. Could it be that?
