Re: When is DOSBox going to have a GUI front end?

Posted on 2010-01-14, 11:32

in DOSBox Development

in DOSBox Development

A big problem for a Dosbox front end is that it has to work well across all the platforms that Dosbox supports currently, or it's a step backwards. Besides the fact that I don't want a GUI... A GUI *could* be done, if the devs would want to go this way, by reusing some of ScummVM's code. IMO they …

And printing to USB *might* not even work with HAL's MegaBuild. I might be wrong, though, I vaguely remember something about it.

The good part of it, is that it doesn't make Windows 3.1 into Vista colors (like the s3 driver does) What do you mean?

It's a special build. When you ask for help with a special build here you are often shot down by the devs, so... uhm, calling it a "special, official unsupported DOSBox" is probably the right term. Another point that would shy away people from that. Consider the following discussion here: User:"I …

🤣 it's not DOSBox, DOSBox is what you download at www.dosbox.com. HAL's MB5 is a special build with great additions, but these additions are not in DOSBox for a reason.

an advantage only for those not able to setup DOSBox I've asked for what VPC has over DOSBox. People have pointed to networking, printing, issue with share/vshare, and displaying 16.7 million colors, all of which have been revealed to be handled by DOSBox Even though I'm the first to normally …

ah, that reminds of something else, share does actually work in Dosbox when you use a dos image. AFAIK you also need a dos image to make use of the network patch (I *think* recently this was discussed somewhere here in reference to HAL's magebuild). Edit: and I think the reason why the network patch …

about fakeshare or earler Dosbox versions not reporting back that share is not working: With that you can start the programs that won't start otherwise but the features of share are not there and therefore you might experience crashes and/or dataloss in the files you are working on. That said, have …

I consider patches available to do networking and printing being up to it. Is VPCs networking and printing better, how so? IMO it is a serious lack and certainly lacks the out of the box feature. The patches are also hopelessly out of date and not easily applicable to current version or SVN of …

By the way, it seems possible to run DOSBox as a real virtual PC (with its own HDD images and operating systems, for example), but I don't know how... You must have really looked into it... And for almost all cases you don't need this anyway. but there have been no signs of updates for a new …

How is vpc better than dosbox? When you want gaming and great sound support Dosbox is it, if you want something else, then Dosbox is not up to it. Especially networking, printing and support for office suits is not availlable in regular Dosbox, support for office suits isn't even there in special …

Tried just now and I got a working image right away. For me the free.fr mirror was ok. If that one doesn't work for you, then something is corrupting the images on your side. Maybe an Anti-Virus program or something else. I used Firefox instead of Safari.

I would disagree about the interest, over 150,000 gamers downloaded Daggerfall when it became available - in the first week! From posts on the Bethsoft forums I doubt many ever got the game working because of DOSBox not being a GUI utility. How do you know that these 150000 are new gamers? It could …
