I think it works fine. It is probably due to the recent changes of direct3d code (res part in sdlmain.cpp). After: if((sdl.desktop.window.width) && (sdl.desktop.window.height)) { scalex=(double)sdl.desktop.window.width/(sdl.draw.width*sdl.draw.scalex); scaley=(double)sdl.desktop.window.height/(sdl. …

"DOS_SetDrive(toupper('Z') - 'A');" that should be modified for the internal drive to be configurable still remains in dos_programs.cpp. What do you think about adding an option to set the drive into the dosbox configfile?

This is not an external icon (.ico), but an internal one which can be found in the dosbox homepage. Here is a patch to apply. (I am going to use it in my build.) Usage: patch -up1 < icon.patch

Run DOSBox with an administration right. (Right click dosbox.exe then click run as an administrator) Install the game in dosbox, then play it.

I ran dosbox.exe as an administrator. (even tried to disable UAC) I have a laptop, and the mixer shows only volumes for each application, not the other things like cd-audio.

Some high resolutions like 1024x768 may require lots of reosurces if scalers are always forced in any res, and some people may dislike it due to a decline of speed or unsupported, too high resolution (e.g. Normal2x : 1024x768 * 2 = 2048x1536.)

Yes, software scaler works basically with only low resolution. Using my build, try a parameter -forcescaler to force the scalers work in any resolution. (only normal/rgb works, however)

Using Vista 32bit and my build, aero is still alive with any output(surface, ddraw, direct3d, opengl, openglhq, etc.,). Fullscreen does not change the interface. After installing the latest version of ati driver, opengl acceleration is supported.
