Try adding #include at the very top of porttalk.cpp. Think it's missing METHOD_BUFFERED and FILE_ANY_ACCESS which should be in winioctl.h Don't know if that thing is in mingw.

Ok this might make up good values then for other stuff, too, or do you think it's just too low? As it matches the values you figured from some pc.

As said wait for the next version, should be faster then. Moe might have some fps comparison.

It is definitely that old bug that slipped into the newest version as well. As of now try to get hold of the keyb2pre4 version, which is fine. Both pre3 and 2.00 are buggy, i could not contact the author of keyb yet.

Maybe you could post the actual lines that create the errors, as the line numbers seem to have changed.

Well then try again with a clean dosbox.conf that has the irq at 7 and use the game's installer/setup to change the sb values accordingly. And re-check if the values are actually saved.

What's the loop looking like for prince? I think i wrote somewhere about how many loops different games use during detection code, don't know where that was. Do the 1.0/0.75 values work rather fine with the default 3000 cycles?

Yes, cool, isn't it 😉 Maybe people could please report about stability here, if it differs from the experiences with the dynamic core under windows/linux (which it shouldn't).

Ok that's interesting information, as auto cycles are measured rather fine for me. Have to see if this persists in the cvs and if so why the cycles get rather low. One thing to try is changing the output= and see if one of the modes works fine.

Guess you already tried core=dynamic along with cycles=auto? If yes and it's still slow wait for the next dosbox release.

Ok hal uses vc assembler in porttalk.cpp, which doesn't work as is under mingw. Don't know if this file crucial, looks like it is. Would require converting these snippets to at&t-style asm. Did you try it with msvc already? You need to compile a few libraries for this though.

Traditionally, branches a laid out just like the programmer did them. Actually this fact is used in several places to force faster code. ih8regs did some testing on larger scope rearranging, which gained some speed. The compiler works against this by using randomization in the prediction. Of course …

That file is only used by msvc (under *nix/mingw it is generated). Well just remove all occurences of C_DIRECTLPT (which should be all like #ifdef DIRECTLPT or similar) or rename that to WIN32 or something so it succeeds compiling.
Re: Stack segment not present
Posted on 2007-01-11, 20:03
I just posted another message about C_DIRECTLPT (the stuff about the WIN32 defines should be fine for mingw), see above.
Re: Stack segment not present
Posted on 2007-01-11, 19:56
Actually that WIN32 should be defined on mingw if compiling for windows target. But you have to define C_DIRECTLPT 1 somewhere (or hack out all C_DIRECTLPT ifdefs or so).

In directlpt_win32.h remove the #ifdef WIN32 somewhere at the top. Same for directlpt_win32.cpp, maybe it gets farther then.

Copy code to clipboard 1 secprop->Add_bool("timed","true"); 2 secprop->Add_bool("autofire","false"); 3 secprop->Add_bool("swap34","false"); Looks correct to me (only timed being true by default).

Basically dosbox is a bit non-standard with the irq, as the sb16 (default in dosbox) was set to irq5 by default. Some games seem to be set up for sb16/irq5 (as here) but in all cases it's easily possible to change that in some installer.
Re: No Sound
Posted on 2007-01-11, 14:58
True, but as general rule it's wise to have them separated to avoid conflicts with sound detection especially. So DosFreak's way is the preferred (either by using the setup of the game or directly modifying that cfg file).
