That backdoor was prepared so slowly and deliberately that I would be surprised if there were not others lurking in xz or another piece of widely used open source software. But that is a worry for another day.

I decided to test out the DOSBox-X version on my 2018 Macbook pro (Intel) and I ran into what looks like a packaging problem. It crashed immediately and the report below suggests it tries to load an ARM library on the x86_64 build. ------------------------------------- Translated Report (Full Report …

There is no source code but a patch for SVN at https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=34770 *unfortunately* SVN broke the patch a little while ago so it's a couple of weeks old atm. Yeah, I remember that thread. I just hadn't realised that the work was still being discussed there, as it has …

Thanks for the quick reply! I tried your DOSBox SVN build and it had the same problem: only 'a' for every press on the remote keyboard 🙁. Also, I forgot to mention that I initially used DOSBox 0.74-3.

I've been using DOSBox with my built-in keyboards for many years, and never had any problems. Now I tried to use Remote Mouse Pro (there is a free version too) on my iPhone to connect a numeric keyboard to my Macbook. I need it to comfortably play Curse of the Azure Bonds, which doesn't use cursor …

Why are you asking in a DOSBox forum about a game that you are running on Windows XP or later? On a 64bit system no less?

Can someone edit the headline of this topic? It suggests that ykhwong has a mental health problem, whereas the actual subject is his Daum version of DOSBox. Going ad hominem at ykhwong is daft.

Alright, so by then virtual machines might be easier and more convenient to install/set up/use, but Windows gamers won't be pleased that they can't just run Half-Life 1 and 2, the Unreal Tournament games, etc, 'native' in Windows. I could be wrong, but I thought Windows already uses a virtual …

At least Fedora is talking about relegating 32 bit to secondary status: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Fedora-i686-Non-Blocking Microsoft will be slower to drop 32 bit. OS X will probably run 32 bit for a while, but new apps in the store are supposed to be 64 bit (not that BOSBox …

Not necessarily. OpenGL ES is a subset of OpenGL (depending on the version), so it all depends on what parts of OpenGL got used..

Found the "small bug" that was preventing loading the exported names tables. Small issues of BYTE vs. WORD in the name tables... Was helped along by the book "Windows Internals", 1993, Matt Pietrek, who kept talking about looking in USER.exe at the exported names, so I knew it was supposed to work. …

sorry but I said I can't write it because I'm no programmer. By the way, if you write it, please don't forget normal4x, normal5x and normal6x but there is "ipx" missing. So it must insert too. They 'must' not do anything. The point about entitlement is that DOSBox is free and open source. That …
