Is it old? try lowering the cycles to real low values (100, 300, 500 or so).

Use a CVS build. M.A.X. does something weird with paging which was worked around in CVS.
Re: KDevelop

Don't use KDevelop at all, unless you are developing. It's much faster typing ./configure && make && make install than starting up KDevelop and clicking all that stuff. Which is not to say that KDevelop is bad - it's running here right now with dosbox loaded, while I am writing something for it …
Re: Luck with Dos32a Beta??
Posted on 2005-10-31, 14:49
Regarding the negative EMS value: you are probably using close to 64MB memory (probably 63MB, the maximum amount dosbox supports), and the program stores that amount in a short (2-byte) integer. Which is fine, only if you interpret an unsigned short value of 63000 as signed short, it's about -2000. …
Re: Problems with Norton Antivirus or Spysweeper
Posted on 2005-10-29, 03:45
Well, uninstalling Norton is always a good idea. Back in the DOS days, there was no way around the Norton programs. These days, they cause a lot more trouble than they help you. There are a number of good antivirus programs that are free for personal use, like FreeAV and Avast. Just stay clear of …
Re: Tie Fighter joystick issues in dosbox

Look at the second window that opens when starting dosbox. It contains some diagnostic messages, and if dosbox detects any Joysticks, you will see a message there.

Re: how to increase dosbox native refresh rate?
Posted on 2005-10-28, 12:59
Actually, 1280x800 as found on widescreen laptops is even better: 4x scaling, and many games look _better_ when they are distorted that way, because original game developers didn't bother to account for non-square pixels. X-Com's earth looks like an oval on a true 4:3 screen, but like a circle on a …

Re: ykhwong's new release

You could gain by using opengl/openglnb/overlay or directx output, then normal2x will not matter, and the video card does the scaling. Which output is best depends highly on OS, video card and your preference. Surface mode doesn't differ much with or without normal2x. Your speed seems okayish, …
Re: how to increase dosbox native refresh rate?
Posted on 2005-10-26, 13:38
First of all, if you use a TFT, you should always use fullfixed=true and fullresolution= . You can make the video card do the scaling if you use anything but output=surface. output=overlay should work fine on all cards, although some do bilinear filtering, and others do not. output=openglnb is …
Re: How to get music to run in warlords 2? Speech works

Adlib music works fine here. I'm using 15.000 cycles, dynamic core, default sblaster settings, latest CVS (see the "CVS builds" thread).
Re: ykhwong's new release
Posted on 2005-10-26, 07:21
Number one CPU killer is scaling, followed by Adlib emulation. Third is DOSBox's memory bookkeeping/protected mode support. (Figures sampled while developing Hq2x, which was at that time as fast as advmame2x. Other scalers and sound emulations will have less impact.) On at least one of my machines, …
Re: DOSBOX on AMIGA
Posted on 2005-10-24, 16:54
No, no, I mean it as I say. There are people with real AMIGAs, as this thread shows, and I am not referring to those running an emu. You're right that running dosbox in an AMIGA emu is pointless, but running it on a real box is not (as long as it is possible).

Furhter more, there is little point in a dos box port that will only worl with a limited range of very early dos games. Funny thing, this is something I often read. People said it regarding PocketPC versions or the Dreamcast port as well. How can you assume what games I like to play? Taking me as …
