I'd really like to smack everyone who spreads the rumor that you can run old 16bit Windows programs in Dosbox WITHOUT adding more to this information... YES, you can run old 16bit Windows programs in DOSBox BUT ONLY if you install Windows 3.x in DOSBox.

you have to use a real DOS installed on Dosbox. This is done by hard drive images of which you "boot" from within Dosbox. The guides section has a guide on hard drive images.

No need to do anything, sdl is the underlying library which 'communicates' with the OS. It's compiled into the dosbox.app. I'm sorry, I was just too technical. So just plugging the joystick in and starting Dosbox should be enough.

Attach it and if all goes well you will be able to use it with games that support Joysticks. SDL should handle it right away, at least it does so for me on OS X.

Either you put it all in one line (like the above example with two of those settings) without ANY linebreak (hence my "too many" linebreaks) or each setting with an export comman up front...

On Linux and OsX you set environment variables through the command export. So, no not yet right, all of those in one line or an export in front of each line...

G is mounted to the game dir on the hard drive there are a couple of problems there. 1. Don't use g for the "hard drive" 2. If you mount the game dir then it is 100% different from when you installed the game 3. Don't mount the game dir, some games, especially cd rom games like to have their data …

if setting core to dynamic crashes dosbox for you then you made a mistake in compiling, possibly in setting the above flags, thus creating a 64bit version of Dosbox. things to do: - check the arch of your compiled dosbox by "lipo -info pathtothedosboxsource/src/dosbox" - write here EXACTLY what you …

It would still help if you tried without a frontend, especially to see whether dos4gw gives an error. We are dosbox specialists and not frontend ones sowe kind of can't troubleshoot if there is something in between user and dosbox... ;) Please post your mountings when you installed the game and what …

I was just asking some infos about how the DosBox source code is structured, I thought that that forum was the right one and I already found two rude answers. Nice to see that, I'll just study it by myself to add my two cents of rudeness, have fun studying it. I don't see much rudeness in Dosfreaks …

yes, the problem is that SDL is getting compiled with X11. If you want to make it cleaner: sudo port -f uninstall libsdl sudo port install libsdl +universal +no_x11 so best get rid of the other stuff sudo port uninstall dosbox sudo port uninstall libsdl_sound sudo port uninstall libsdl_net
