Have you tried changing output= in DOSBox.conf? As for finding a better emulator than DOSBox. Good luck, let us know when you find it.

There is no "configuration editor" the shortcut just runs a command that open the dosbox.conf in your profile and launches notepad.

Try loading the same Windows install under 0.72 and seeing if the error occurs.

Not a DOSBox problem. If your using General MIDI then it's outputted by your host sound card. You'll need to use a software synth to get better quality: Recommend a MIDI soft synth and if your playing Duke Nukem 3D you should be using EDuke32 anyway.

the "does nothing" part isn't present. So what does it mean "provided for compatibilty" if it works just like any other command? Only things that are "required for compatibility" are added to DOSBox and the commands that are added to DOSBox only add the functionality that is needed. So if you look …

Have you tried it? DOSBox 0.73 adds the option to use the .conf in your profile, it's an option not a requirement.

Nope, you need to either make the path simpler or adjust how your mounting the path in DOSBox. MS-DOS programs don't use LFN anyway so your probably talking about a DOS program that previous ran in Windows XP Command Promp that would rely onthe 8.3 to LFN translation offered by Windows. DOSBox will …

That's not a logo issue that's just how DOSBox works. When you set fullscreen=true then it will first launch DOSBox in Windowed mode and then make it fullscreen automatically. Since the logo is rendered inside DOSBox then you'll probably notice that DOSBox doesn't go into fullscreen immediately. …

Yes, a new version! But there's an installation bug - you've stopped supporting upgrades. If I install it over the last version, as I've always done, the old version remains in the start menu. Also, it keeps the old config file with the header "0.72" in it. In the end, I've uninstalled everything …

Users can't edit the dosbox.conf in the DOSBox folder unless they know about editing permissions (not very likely) or they are logged in as administrator (which they shouldn't be). Besides written data shouldn't be stored with the program if not necessary.

There's a patch to do that but it's not included in DOSBox itself. Gulikoza's http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/dosbox.html or HAL9000's builds might have print to .PNG support. Can't remember.

Noticed a couple other things testing Wizardry 7 in Windows 7 (Wiz7 in Win7 hehe): - when I tried to go full-screen, the colors looked all wrong (happens in Starcraft too, so I think Win7 just sucks at 8-bit color). When I tried to go back to a window, it stayed in something like 640x480x8 (instead …
