Re: Switching Dosbox to full screen causes problems. Colors invert, processing stops

The v1.2 SDL that DOSBox uses has DirectX by default IIRC. This could be changed for DOSBox to WINDIB but won't be due to speed issues. The v1.3 has windib as default I think but DOSBox crew doesn't like it.

Well we already know the fix: set SDL to WINDIB instead of DirectX for Vista+. and/or include D3D renderer and set D3D as default for Windows OS's.

I think Gulikoza is working on a new build based on 0.73. AFAIK, there isn't one available currently.
Re: DOSBOX output method & scalers

DOSBox doesn't have D3D support. Only unofficial builds like gulikoza's do. The video modes aren't processor intensive. (at least on the C2D's I test DOSBox on.....) All scales are software scalers. (See Robertmo post below) What is a hardware2x or 3x scaler?
Re: Star Trek Borg on Dos Box HELP!!
Posted on 2009-06-30, 00:48
Star Trek Borg works fine in 200/XP/2003/Vista (32bit). (with the patch) If you want to play the game in 64bit operating systems then you'll need to use Vmware 6+ with a 32bit Windows guest.

Windows 98 in VirtualBox or Vmware does not support D3D. Only XP+ are recommended for D3D support in VirtualBox/Vmware.

Try changing core=auto to core=normal in dosbox.conf If you want to test quickly just type core=normal in dosbox prompt.

If the game uses SafeDisc copy protection then you'll probably need to use a NOCD patch.

Play the DOS version in DOSBox. Works fine.

The earlier the better as long as your card is supported by the driver. For some games I run them in Vmware using Ubuntu as a guest OS and then I run the games in Wine. When the games work it's great but more often than not they don't. Can't remember if HG2 works in Wine.
Re: Heavy Gear 2 on Vista/Windows 7
Posted on 2009-06-26, 21:24
Try Vista drivers for your card. Next try the XP drivers. Beg Nvidia to fix their drivers for the game. Try the game in Wine and see if it works there. Beg Activision to release the source code.
Re: Everest Ultimate - can you boot it up from a CD?
Posted on 2009-06-26, 19:38
I think there's a plugin for BARTPE for Everest. If you don't know anything about Windows PE or BartPE you can download the Windows Ultimate Boot CD which makes it simple. It's kind of been depreciated by Winbuilder but Winbuilder is STILL buggy as hell whereas BartPE just works.
Re: netbooks, other laptop considerations
Posted on 2009-06-26, 14:02
Depending on the games you plan on playing in DOSBox you may need a "beefy" processor. If you can figure out a way to test the games you want to play on the laptop before you buyt it that may be the best option or if you can return the laptop if it doesn't perform like you want it to.

Re: DOSBox 0.73 Discussion
Posted on 2009-06-25, 23:46
I think the issue was more about the fact that these companies are not giving proper credit or they try to hide DOSBox to make it more "user-friendly" to the user. (What Qbix said in an interview). It's not really a profit issue although there is the fact these companies are making money off of alot …
