I don't have a Mac, "only" a Windows PC, so I am not entirely sure how to do it on a Mac. On a Windows PC, I would press the Eject-button on my CD, remove the 1st CD, insert disc 2, and press CTRL-F4 so DOSBox would know that a new disc has been insert. I am not sure if you can eject a CD like that …

Whoops indeed! And not even a blip on the console saying "Dude! Check your spelling".

Not necessary. In fact as Qbix wrote, it will do more harm. The flash memory controller keeps a "scorecard" of how often each memory-block has been written to and tries to even-out the number of writes by constantly re-allocating blocks on writes.

And pray tell, WHERE did you get the information that fullresolution=auto is a valid option? Have you tried fullresolution=stevejobs ?

nupanick - that looks perfectly correct. Maybe it is this portable version of DOSBox that is playing tricks with you? Try installing the official DOSBox 0.72 in some temporary directory and use that instead.

Hmm. Maybe that game simply doesn't like DOSBox? No listing here: http://www.dosbox.com/comp_list.php?letter=S Edit: Found it here: http://www.dosbox.com/comp_list.php?showID=1722&letter=R&search=Arkania Realms of Arkania 3-Shadows o. Riva Interesting comment: Hmmm, are you using the original …

Extract the archive into some folder, e.g. Descent-1. Open the dosbox.conf file in Notepad, and edit the lines where it says: rem mount D "D:\" -t cdrom imgmount D "G:\Spool\........... Unless you have made an image of the Descent CD, simply delete the imgmount line. If you have the Descent CD, …

Yes, my OS is Vista 32 bit. Can somebody see if they can run Descent in full screen? And remember, it does not lag until I either get hit, or pick up an item or hostage..and then it just lags horribly for like 10 seconds... Seems to work fine for me with the setup provided in the attached Zip- …

You mean "fullresolution=original" right, not auto?

and then I used c: cd games cd riva riva.exe Did you choose the path C:\GAMES\RIVA when you installed it with the INSTALL.EXE program? Normally, a DOS game like Riva would install into C:\RIVA. Sure that you are not running an old installation of the game? For the best result, I would create a new …

Noticed a small problem with the DBGL-generated profiles: They are in Unix text file format even when DBGL is run on a Windows machine. It would be nice if they were in DOS text format with a CR/LF pair instead of just a LF.

You DID notice the 2 warnings in my guide, right? Note 1: It is highly recommended that you always use C and D for the emulated drives. It doesn't matter what your real drives are. Yet you still chose to use C and E. Note 2: Unless you are prepared to re-install and re-configure the game, DO NOT …

Descent 1? And please, don't just drag the EXE on DOSBox. It might work with simple games, but most games needs to be properly installed *inside* DOSBox. I have Descent 1, but I don't remember playing it in fullscreen mode. I will have to test it later. 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox . If that doesn't …

You can find a live copy of the autoexec section if you do a TYPE Z:\AUTOEXEC.BAT from inside DOSBox. Best way to check how the drives was actually mounted.
Re: Automatically get & set fullscreen resolution?

Ahhh - found something! I tried it with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib and noticed that my Citrix MetaFrame Window popped up for a short moment and resized itself. After closing Citrix down, DOSBox no longer crashes when it goes fullscreen with my little 4-line config. It is still a little unstable though. …

That's odd, meaning that the default dosbox.conf would not work on that pc. Correct. I created this little config-file: [sdl] fullscreen=true fullresolution=original output=overlay and ran dosbox.exe -conf my.conf I see the DOSBox intro screen, then the screen blanks out, and next I am presented …
