I didn't select anything, it just exits immediately when built with D3D. I don't hack the M4 autotools madness just for fun 😉

Just tried to build this from github using my mingw64 toolchain in msys64 .. and after a few tweaks to the code, this SEEMS to work. But running the compiled binary fails with LOG: E_Exit: D3D not supported This is on a windows 10 machine. Any ideas what I could do about this? edit: It indeed runs …

This is definitely fixed in SVN, thanks for the hint!

No, I haven't yet. Will check this tomorrow and report.

Posting this here, as it is about code i want to run inside dosbox, if I misunderstood the scopes of the forums, please move ... I developed a little curses game recently and made it to compile for DOS (using djgpp) today. It depends on having a source of constant "timing ticks" -- the main loop …
Re: Making the window bigger on Windows 7
Posted on 2010-06-20, 14:18
For a bigger window, use a corresponding scaler, either with one of the options "-scaler" or "-forcescaler" or by setting it in the configfile -- look there for available scalers. For fullscreen, hit alt+enter -- shouldn't be a surprising key-binding for long-time users of MS systems 😉

Hints for getting the sound working: - make sure ia32 versions of libasound2, the alsa-plugins used and the ladspa-plugins used are installed. - use a custom dmix configuration with ipc_perm 0666, just to be sure anyone can use an established ipc, e.g.: pcm.!dmix { type dmix ipc_key 1024 ipc_perm …
Re: Feature Request - changing the cycles from the command prompt

Uhm, i understand robertmo's posting as it was necessary to restart dosbox when using this command, but if that's not the case then the request really seems void..
Re: Feature Request - changing the cycles from the command prompt
Posted on 2010-06-20, 09:46
The question was not about the config file but about a dos-command with the ability to change this emulator setting. And I think this would be really useful, espacially for creating batch-files to start the individual games installed in dosbox :) As I can already mount the correct .iso from the .bat …
VM86 on linux/amd64? found some abandoned project...

What's the best option for that? It /kind of/ works in wine, but there are some serious glitches, so i'm looking for alternatives. AFAIR I once had it running in win95, but it is a win-3.x game. I tried installing WfW 3.11 on a DosEMU/MS-DOS 6.22 but it always crashes although it SHOULD work …

Posted on 2010-06-05, 04:25
Right now, I don't get any sound at all 😠, but I guess this is some configuration problem. The binary links correctly against /usr/lib32/libasound.so.2, so I don't think there's a problem with the build. First try for now -- upgrade to latest testing -- this will take a while 😀

This is pretty experimental, so I hesitate uploading it to my APT repository, but at least, it "works for me". I'd be happy to get some feedback :) I wouldn't expect the binaries to work on Debian/Lenny because i built them on testing, but maybe someone can use the source packages for Debian/Lenny …

Re: Problems with Duke Nukem 3D

Just a suggestion: Try "eduke32". That's the IMHO best port of Duke Nukem 3D to "modern" operating systems, it works just like the original with the original level data (so you still need your original copy), but it can optionally use high resolution textures etc from http://hrp.duke4.net/, giving …

No, but AFAIK, all other PC-DOS systems are commercial (DR-DOS, PTS-DOS, ...) And, installing MS-DOS without a floppy could get quite tricky. You can try bruning a bootable CD with 1.44M-floppy-emulation el-torito boot-image of the first installation disk and put the files of the other disks …

Or you could try using dosemu instead, as it doesn't emulate the CPU but virtualizes the existing one, it may be fast enough on your system. But, be warned, it's much harder to setup than dosbox and you need a "real" DOS to use it 😀
