Re: Zip support in Frontend
Posted on 2009-03-01, 02:43
Zip/7zip/PhysFS support hasn't been integrated into DOSBox mainly due to the abandonware issue this comes straight from the devs themselves. The other reason is that it isn't a high priority. Most "abandonware" is already zipped. It's just not configured correctly. The official games that people …

Re: Error Message: Cannot load tip of the day( From using VDM Sound)
Posted on 2009-02-21, 23:43
Can you run the game without VDMSound? What happens if you open a command prompt. Run VDMSound's "DOSDRV.EXE" to launch the VDMSound TSR Configure the games sound. Run the game. Nobody here hates VDMSound. It's just obsolete. It's like using phones with a party line. There's no reason to when there …

I wouldn't use a torrent as an archive. Best bet right now would be to contact Jason Scott. As long as there are no abandonware files he probably wouldn't mine storing a copy: http://ascii.textfiles.com/ (He archives pretty much everything he can get his hands on and a couple of weeks ago he started …

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=56933 Don't know how true the above is. Haven't bought AMD processors since my Athlon XP 2800+ back in 2002.

Re: real slow on dual core
Posted on 2009-02-21, 21:39
No, DOSBox will run faster on a newer faster processor than on an older processer. (Assuming that the new processor is faster of course) It's just that DOSBox will not use both cores of your CPU to improve it's speed. It will only use one core. Your slower performance on your new laptop is likely …
Re: lagging issues with dos game
Posted on 2009-02-20, 16:39
No that's normal behavior with a dual cpu system in Windows. The only way to know if this slow behavior is normal for this game is if someone else has the game and runs it in DOSBox. To gauge the general performance of DOSBox on your system with FPS games you can download a BUILD engine game like …
DOSBox and NT4

I'm playing around with 2-19-2009 CVS on NT4 and I notice this error in the console: "SDL_Init: Starting up with SDL windib video driver. Try to update your video card and directx drivers!" heh...well there's no way this driver is getting update ever! Mabye it should be rephrased? "Reverted to …
Re: No startup: stunts.
Posted on 2009-02-19, 11:29
If your using Vista, you have UAC turned on and the game is not in your profile then you'll either need to run DOSBox as administrator or modify the rights on your stunts folder to allow write access. The Read-Only behavior on folders that you noticed is normal.

Disable all sound. Disable EMS in dosbox.conf Try running loadfix twice or specify a smaller size for loadfix. I think by default it uses takes up 64kb

These guys haven't heard of MAME, I guess? If they are serious about their project they will HAVE to contact all of these different emulator developers to ask them to contribute (and pay them). There's no other way. The project is just massive in scope to be done for free and to develop the code …
