Would suggest making sure the resistance of the fuse is close to zero.
Re: AWEUTIL.COM divides by zero
Posted on 2022-03-09, 01:15
"Divide by zero" is interrupt 0. Often programs that end up here haven't actually triggered a division error, but accidentally perform an indirect jump to address 0 due to stack/memory corruption.
Re: CF card is detected but FDISK won't even run
Posted on 2022-03-09, 01:01
Accessing the card using a CF reader uses different addressing (LBA) than what a 386 BIOS would use (C/H/S). Without knowing how the drive is configured in the BIOS, what the error message was or even which filesystem the card is formatted with (FAT16/FAT32), there's not a lot to go on here. DO NOT …
Re: What kind of VGA is that ?
Posted on 2022-03-07, 13:23
Pretty sure the same chipsets were used in Toshiba laptops back in the day. An external monitor connected to the VGA port had to be activated either with a special keypress or in the C&T windows software.
Re: Problem with file .bat when i try to send input from CMD to DOSBox.exe
Posted on 2022-03-06, 23:35
This is a very roundabout (and hacky) way of doing things (using an external program to send keypresses to the DOSBox application) when DOSBox already supports individual config files and startup commands. Not to mention batch files. A case where everything looks like a nail when you're holding a …

Re: Dosbox as self sustaining OS?
Posted on 2022-03-06, 12:24
DOSBox doesn't just emulate DOS, it emulates an entire PC. If your machine can't run windows XP at a decent speed it won't be able to handle DOSBox, regardless of the OS you run it under.

Post the contents of the LEMM3D.cue file, and also tell which version/build of DOSBox you're using.
Re: DOSBox ReelMagic Fork

Good to know thanks! The s-video thing adds to my thought on an OpenGL shader being able to help smooth out the video a bit. While using a shader is an option (especially with SVN trunk, which already supports rendering via shaders - the main reason I suggested looking into it), have you attempted …
Re: MASM and DEBUG in Dosbox
Posted on 2022-03-01, 06:21
I think it accounts for that by pushing the initial ds value followed by a 0, the problem is it's using a near ret instead of far ret (retf).
Re: DOSBox ReelMagic Fork

Have you considered basing it on DOSBox's current SVN code?

Re: 4:3 and refresh rate on a modern 24" LCD
Posted on 2022-02-22, 08:30
Edit: There also were games using "tweaked" modes. Jack Jazzrabbit used an 320x199 resolution - to run the game at 60Hz. There's nothing really "tweaked" about that mode, it's just 320x240@60Hz with 20+21 inactive lines at the top and bottom. On a physical monitor it appears letterboxed. People get …
Re: 4:3 and refresh rate on a modern 24" LCD
Posted on 2022-02-22, 08:26
I'm just trying to understand, in Windows we just set the refresh rate to what we want, but how is it set in DOS? It's mostly up to the card's bios. A program calls the vga bios to set a specific mode and the bios takes care of setting all the card-specific registers to achieve it, which includes …

Re: Bypassing port forwarding on nullmodem/IPX
Posted on 2022-02-13, 04:08
Second, how can an ISP block portforwarding? That is something that is done on the local side of the network. ISPs don't have control over that. What are they blocking everything to you but port 80 and 443 traffic? What do you mean it's because ISP is forcing NAT? That's how routers work (How else …
