Re: How many DOSes and DOS emulators are there?

Posted on 2007-03-13, 22:31

Commodore DOS? Didn't all the Commodore machines come with a ROM-based BASIC interpreter that had hooks to load programs from an IEEE-something-bus? It was not a Disk-Operating-System as such. And since the BASIC-interpreter could be re-vectored throgh a jump-table in RAM, the normal way to use the …

Re: KQ7 CD-ROM

I tried the following: mount d f:\ t cdrom mount d f:\ t cdrom usecd KQ_CD2 aspi mount d f:\ t cdrom usecd 0 mount d f:\ -t cdrom -usecd KQ_CD2 -ioctl The last one sounded as though the computer was trying to run the CD (as the other commands didn't do a thing) but it still game me the same error. …

1gnorance - unless you REALLY know what you are doing (or told so by an experienced member), DO NOT mix and match installations and configurations done from inside DOSBox and from Windows. It will rarely work. Listen to Kippesoep, and follow the 60-seconds guide.

Try following the 60-seconds guide (listed in my signature). Then - if it will still not install - come back here, and tell us how you mounted your DOSBox drives, and what commands you used to install the game.

Re: Mac OS X & Dosbox .65 & .7 startup problem

rhonie - a chroot'ed installation is very different from just setting a few variables. It works pretty much like mounting drives in DOSBox. You need to be super-user (root) for it to work. You start by creating a directory somewhere, and set up a minimal copy of the normal file-system. E.g. # mkdir …

I don't know a single bit about Xcode, but .... MacOSX is a Unix/Linux system at heart. So if Xcode is a port of the GNU Compiler Suite, with fixed headers, libraries, suitable flags, it should be be possible to install Xcode inside a chroot'ed environment and fake an 10.3 environment. Outside the …

Re: DOSBOX midi in Os X

MIDI = Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A short, in-correct, explation is that MIDI is like remote-control of instruments (synthesizers, organs, guitars, ...). So I don't believe that speech would ever be done with MIDI. The SoundBlaster is what you want for speech (and sound effects). But I …

Microsoft has some typedefs repeated in their headers. I assume their compiler happily accepts that so they haven't noticed, but gcc doesn't. This is a patch I apply to dx headers.... Thanks gulikoza - just what I needed. Together with the tip to use reimp ( for all the Microsoft DX libraries? ) …

I have the same problem (no option to send MIDI to external midi hardware) and I know others do as well. I have posted about this before and there has never been any resolution. Can we get some decent OSX docmentation on MIDI so we can use our hardware sound modules? I love DOSBox 0.70. It is …

Okay - I discarded the February 2007 DX-SDK from Microsoft, and installed these headers and libs from the SDL-site: http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/common/dir … tx-devel.tar.gz Now SDL compiles, and I can invoke DOSBox with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx.
