jfyi, MS Office won't run on current Dosbox because share (eithewr share.exe or vshare.386) isn't supported.
Re: Windows 7 + DOSBox MIDI = Problems!
Posted on 2009-12-23, 12:31
Ok, well howabout this - if I switch to Linux, THEN is it any easier to use Soundfonts to play back everything that DOSBox does? What would I need to get? If you are not familiar with Linux yet, then you will need some time adjusting to it. Timidity should work on Linux. How can I convince the devs …

aren't there a couple of threads about this game + Dosbox?

Maybe it's time to convince the devs to implement Fluidsynth as Midi driver 😀 I *think* you can use Fluidsynth like timidity on Windows but I'm not sure. I've only encountered it as built-in device.

I'd really like to know how you managed that. Did you follow a guide or something that had steps written down on how to install xcom?

And just for fun, try disabling all other programs running in the background, including Anti-Virus and even Firewalls (the MS built-in is fine though). These are known to sometimes cause problems. Edit: and you don't need to disable them all the time, just once to make sure that they are not the …
Re: Running DOS apps/games on modern systems using compatible soundcards... possible?
Posted on 2009-12-17, 16:55
If I ever want to use an emulation software I'd consider Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 first... It creates a fully virtual environment while it still accesses a portion of real hardware. I remembered VPC2007 uses the computer's CPU directly and it seems to allocate some memory as the system RAM from …
Re: Dosbox - no available audio device
Posted on 2009-12-16, 20:05
Umm..well...Laughing Out Loud....ahh...IT WORKS!!! Now I am wondering why this problem has never been solved before...or is it just me? It's probably a weird one in a million bug. With another project we only had to touch that SDL_AUDIODRIVER for some audio card on Windows 9x and never since. A …

reinstall the game from the original source, it might be that it wants a specific folder hirachy and that will be solved by installing it.

What version of Dosbox do you have and where did you get it from? Does the conf file point to a mapperfile and does that file exist? Just want to eliminate the chance that you somehow got it from a site where they pranked you...

it's not in the joystick section, it's much further up. No one was repeating earlier because everyone thought you should be able to find that in the config file
Re: Error SU0409 / installing windows 98 under DOSBOX
Posted on 2009-12-15, 00:22
but dosbox use a local folder so it is feasible and simple You can only install Windows 9x on Dosbox by using a disk image, too. This is probably the reason for your error as well. You cannot use a local folder.

yes, Old Thrash is right, I can confirm that Windows 95C was availlable in German as well, even though only as OEM Version, not sold directly in stores, AFAIK. So I guess all the other languages got the same treatment... Good way to check is to go to the language specific version of Wikipedia and …

Any help, or thoughts, or ideas, no matter how crazy, would be most appreciated. This page has over 300 views, and nearly no responses. So let me make this clear. I WILL TRY ANYTHING! What of the above suggestions have you tried and more importantly, HOW did you try them?

First rule in this place is to report problems with the newest version of Dosbox. Also 0.73 offers more emulated graphic cards to try out.
Re: You DON'T need a powerful PC to run dosbox

ppgrainbow clearly answered to my post 😀 dosbox on a powerful pc is powerfull too who wrote that I tried that on a powerfull PC? When I tried that my PC wasn't that powerfull so it DOES count, especially when you count in the many things that don't work well on Windows 95 on Dosbox 😀
Re: Windows 3.1 with internet

There has been a post about it somewhere here... What you need is a special build, like Hal's Megabuild, some driver in Windows to pass through the emulated net to the real net, some network driver for Windows 3.11. I' not mentioning this in the guide because it is Windows only AFAIK and especially …
