What game? Are you using dosbox 0.65?

And be sure to have the sound settings right, maybe try with sound disabled completely for testing purposes.
Re: Tandy DMA behavior
Posted on 2006-08-14, 07:06
You're using machine=vga AND tandy=true. In this configuration the 2nd dma controller HAS to be disabled as there are port conflicts, and in order to get sound of the games which support vga video modes and tandy sound simultaneously the 2nd dma controller has to be closed. There won't be any …

Yes, it's working for me as well. What OS are you on? Did you change the dosbox configuration somehow?

Please type EXACTLY how you mounted the drives, how you start the game etc.
Re: Mario Is Missing not receiving keyboard...

They have a buggy keyboard handler, and just were lucky that it worked with most bioses. Attached are fixed (not completely as there was not enough space and i didn't want to bother too much with it) files, each one with one byte patched.

Do regular 32bit x86 compiles work? Maybe i can send you a build that displays some information about the mouse SDL events. Guess that the SDL people would be interested in knowing about it if there's really a bug.

> i guess the issue is with SDL? Well i don't know, but i assume it is as two different programs are affected. You could test that by modifying the sources, maybe somebody else with the same system could do that as well.

As they're using the relative mouse motion fields as well, i guess the SDL_MouseMotionEvent->xrel and ->yrel is messed up on your system. You can try to output the fields of the motion-variable in HandleMouseMotion() of sdlmain.cpp

You could try other SDL apps to see if the mouse events come in correctly.

I'm sure you can avoid running that game just before midnight, or at least in a timeframe where the timechange flag does not matter.
Re: DOSBOX's CDROM device name
Posted on 2006-08-09, 20:10
The name is not changable, it's hardcoded into the sources. The name shouldn't matter as there are defined interfaces to the cdrom driver, and the regular file searching for a block dev works as well.
Re: Linux + SvgaLib = keyboard problem
Posted on 2006-08-09, 09:34
In the file mentioned by Qbix, there's an adjustment for linux scancode keys (search for key-=8; ). Maybe that depends on xwindows though, if you're compiling the sources you can just remove that -=8. At least if you want/need it to be working with usescancodes=true as well.

Re: Dragonsphere Help

Guess they are accessing the DPB to query the freesize, but those tables are highly drive-geometry dependent which is impossible to implement for the directory mounting of dosbox. If you find that check, you might want to hack it out of the executable.

Would you mind to share at least SOME of the details, like what OS and what dosbox version, how the game/dosbox are configured etc.
