Ran across this today: http://buddhahacks.wordpress.com/ I played Operation Stealth using DOSBox to the labyrinth and used DOSBox’s debugger to look for the collision data page (And I found it! Yay!) and dumped it to a binary file. What I wanted to do was to compare the original’s collision data …

Yes we saw that, but why run it as a CDROM? Dump them in a folder on your hard drive. Mount the folder in DOSBox. Run setup.

You can try the AEP CVS build in my signature or gulikoza's build and try Direct3D mode. It's been a long time since I tested DOSBox with the 945 graphics card. I've been testing DOSBox on the 965 chipset for the last year and the new 4 series this past week in Vista and haven't had these issues.

cputype isn't in DOSBox 0.72. It is in the latest CVS. If you download the latest CVS then you'll need to recreate your DOSBox.conf with the "config -wc dosbox.conf". Otherwise you'll still be using the DOSBox.conf from DOSBox 0.72. You can't guess with IO/IRQ/DMA settings for DOS games. Hardware …

Well I'm sure in the beta it's still experimental. On final release of 6.5 it will be fully supported since it's part of their feature list. I wouldn't expect it to be perfect but from my brief tests so far it's ALOT better than it was before. It actually seems useable now. (Assuming a fast computer …

I don't think Windows 9x works in 0.63 although I could be wrong. Yes, it's still an S3 Trio. Also I think with plain CVS I've only ever been able to get 256 colors. Not sure if this is true with the latest CVS.

You could try QuickRes. 98 has never been very stable in DOSBox so unless you modified DOSBox yourself I wouldn't expect much from it. Straight CVS 95B is the most stable.
