Re: Can I load custom keymaps from within DOSBox?

Couldn't you just use different shortcuts or confs?
Re: Gulikoza's build - are hardware2x and hardware3x only for "original" resolution settings?
Posted on 2011-06-10, 05:28
You can't tell a difference because hq2x is presiding over them. What exactly is your problem? Is the window too small?
Re: Fullscreen with Linux (xorg) video drivers

Overlay with aspect=true works for graphic but not text screens. I think this has always been this way, across all platforms. I've seen some builds that "fix" it, so I'd imagine it's probably a simple option you can change before you build it. You could also try the OpenGL modes, I don't recall but …

Re: seperate conf files?
Posted on 2011-06-09, 17:59
There's 2 ways to do this. 1. Make sure your different .conf fines have different names. They can be in the DOSBOX folder, a dedicated CONF folder, your game folder, wherever you want them. Now make a shortcut to DOSBOX.EXE. Right click the shortcut and go to Properties, and add -conf "C:/path/to/ …

Well, what output are you using? Try a different one than the one you're using now. Overlay works best for me.

X-Wing (and TIE Fighter, if run in VGA mode) are bipolar. Things like the HUD were designed to be stretched, but the actual game view was not squished to compensate, so it's vertically stretched in the end. Not really something that can be shown with a screenshot, I'm afraid. I've noticed 3D Doom …

The Interception tune from X-COM is pretty memorable, and so are some of the tunes in the Geoscape. Here's the Interception tune on both a Gravis and a SoundBlaster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dToMVStSDxc The SoundBlaster one sounds better, but that's probably because the Gravis patchset in the …

Well it works, it only works in increments of thirds though, but it's better than nothing! I guess that's because it signals keypresses depending on where the throttle is. Thanks for sending it! It also works if DOSBOX is set to use FCS, so you can avoid the problem where you can't press buttons 1 …

Do you mind if I attach it to this post when I get it? In fact maybe you can do that and not have to bother with e-mailing it, but I PM'd you anyhow.
Looking for X-Wing Throttle patch (xwjoy.zip/joy.com)
Posted on 2011-06-08, 04:45
I remember there was a TSR floating around that enables the Flightstick throttle to work in X-Wing (and also TIE Fighter) but no matter where I look I can't find this zip anywhere. Does anybody happen to have it? Thanks in advance. (Also, is there a similar patch that enables the rudder for rolling …

@Good Ol' TarviS: I'm just using the Windows icon view common control to display the lists. So saidly there is nothing I can do with this. So it uses Windows' settings? I see then. I think I messed with Vertical Icon Spacing a while back and saw it didn't affect the desktop at all. Thanks for the …

Well thanks, I hadn't updated. Anyway, how do I convince DBGL that a certain SVN build is ykhwong's? I have it set to that dosbox.exe from a ykhwong build but some features (like video RAM in KB) aren't enabled, while others (such as Glide) are.

Have you tried the MODE button on the controller? It swaps the inputs given by the left stick and the D-Pad.

I have a small request, is there a way to add additional EXE files besides making a choice prompt in a .BAT? An example is being able to launch CRYPTIC.EXE for Blood to play the expansion episode. D-Fend Reloaded can do this. Thanks in advance.

Hey Kekko - looks like Taewoong liked your patch and put it into his SVN builds (with credit). http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ Works very well, even in non-Build games. Before I couldn't record System Shock in fullscreen mode at 640x480 without considerable framerate drop, but now it performs more or less …

This also happens if the paths in Z.CFG don't match up with the actual ARENA2 folder locations within DOSBOX, so anyone else with this problem should look in there.

Even Tyrian ignores this in places. In-game for example, shields and spheres look vertically stretched even though planets in the menu look fine. Also, EarthSiege's radar also looks stretched even though the rest of the game was made to be stretched to 4:3. Just one of those little things I guess. …
