Re: DOSBox-X branch

Kinda of a bummer that there's still no Win32 DOSBox-x available for testing with the latest updates. I sincerely hope the Linux/Unix folks have enjoyed playing with the last patches; all four of you are probably having a blast!

I really appreciate your work, but can you do us two favours to help you in your endeavour to make a more accurate DOSBOX? Please provide some binaries (Windows, Linux?) for your builds .... and put the *current* download links (alongside with other ones) on the thread starter post. It is really a …

I think there are several CD-ROM games from the Windows 95 era that have Redbook CDDA. I remember in my old-school FPS collection that several of the CDs had audio tracks, including Quake and both Quake expansions (albeit, there was a DOS version of Quake first). I think it wasn't until 1998/1999, …

I checked further on the redbook audio emulation. See here: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=21825. First, dosbox doesn't support USB devices, so that may be a possible problem with d-tools playing back audio. Many other programs are equally problematic and require that USB supplement which is …

From what I understand, D-Tools has different versions, some handling analog audio and other including digital audio (selected in the device properties). Point taken, but with Daemon Tools v3.47 from the tray icon you can deselect the Analog Audio option; I did try it both with and without that …

hmm, maybe that's not the right thing, going with yhkwong's latest build, I know he's mostly current with this branch but I don't know whether his many other patches don't interfere. Yeah, I suppose you have a point there. Is there a current Win32 build of DOSBox-X available? I know exactly squat …

Okay, I just confirmed Nero ImageDrive has the same issue. So to recap, I've tried these three CD emulation programs with the same results: Daemon Tools v3.47 Alcohol 120% v1.9.5.3105 Nero ImageDrive v2.23 Windows 95 OSR 2.1 always crashes the moment it attempts to play audio tracks off CD (and …

Have you tried mounting the image on the host system to make sure that the image has no issues? If all else fails, you could try ripping the tracks and patch the game with _inmm. The image has no problems; it's dumped from my original disc in bin/cue format and all tracks verified. Plus, it's not …

Bah! Alcohol 120% (older version with Win95 support) seems to have the same problem. There may be something missing in DOSBox emulation that prevents even virtual CDs from play CDDA audio ...

Try an older version of d-tools. (Edit: v3.47 should work; perhaps try another CD emulator in 95). Yeah, I'll see if I can find one that works. It seems the others have been able to get it to work in the past. EDIT: Well, I think one other person says they got it working! http://www.vogons.org/ …

The IDE emulation doesn't yet have the ATAPI commands: play audio, play cd, stop play. However, it should be possible to use D-Tools and mount the CD image inside 95; and then play back CD audio. Edit: IDEDIAG is an IDE diagnostic program and works at the DOSBox commandline. Found another working …

I was using the Windows 95 CD player. Yeah, the first one I tried was a mixed-mode CD (Play Disc for Might and Magic VI) but then I tried a bin/cue of an audio CD; that didn't come up either. The Windows 95 CD player didn't recognize it as an audio disc.
