Nope, running dosbox as root doesn't help. But it's not a problem for me actually. I only need timidity for DOSBox, so running it in foreground mode is just fine 😀

I don't know what was "silly" about my question. I was inquiring because it could be that the project had moved somewhere else. Buying an MT-32 is hardly what I'd do, since I already have one ("Wing Commander made me do it!") But your comment about it being "cheap" couldn't be further from the truth …

It's impossible to scale the picture to 1280x1024 when using "vgaonly" as machine type. I mainly use these settings: fullresolution=1280x1024 output=openglnb machine=svga_s3 scaler=none But there is one game that doesn't work with svga_s3 and only works with vgaonly: Ultima 8. (This game stalls when …

I have a weird problem in some games that makes using the mouse quite painful: The mouse moves twice as fast horizontally when compared to moving it vertically. Ultima 8 is an example. I tried tweaking mouse settings in KDE's settings, but nothing seems to help. DOSBox 0.74 (also tried SVN). I'm on …

OK, never mind. It turns out the patch was easy to update for 0.74 (also works with current SVN at the time of this post.) I'm attaching it in case anyone wants to use it. It fixed stereo in all games for me, and especially Albion where the swapped channels are really annoying since that game makes …

Do you have the swap audio patch for 0.74? The one you posted for 0.73 does not apply to 0.74: patching file src/dosbox.cpp Hunk #1 FAILED at 457.

I found a way to make this work. When I start timidity manually, without starting it as an init.d service, then DOSBox works correctly. What could the cause that makes DOSBox not work when timidity is started as a background service? Other programs (like aplaymidi) don't seem to have a problem with …

I'm using DOSBox 0.74 and also tried SVN. I'm on Linux 64-bit. Timidity is running in the background (128:0). Playing midi files with "aplaymidi --port 128:0" works OK. However, DOSBox will not play MIDI in any game a tried, unless I have a MIDI file playing with aplaymidi before starting DOSBox. As …

So I guess it's dead from the upstream authors.

Has this project stopped again? There haven't been any CVS commits since one year and half 😒
