Re: Constructor not interpreting mouse input

Try it with a lower polling rate and a lower dpi setting if you want. I recall some similar threads where those made a big difference. Not sure what is happening inside the interaction between dosbox, sdl, mousedrivers though.

I'll pm you an up to date build for the keyboard thing. We don't advice to use it with applications, but of course you can do it nonetheless. Just don't come complaining here, if all your data goes missing.

The wiki can be edited by anybody. It's documentation for users by users. Not documentation from developers to users.

DOSBox is not designed to do that. It's intended to run games. You could probably create a bat file which does something like this: Copy code to clipboard 1 dosbox myprogram.exe 2 if exist document.pdf mail document.pdf 3 if exist somethingelse do something else

ah yes, for emulating things it can be useful. However, the soundblaster part itself (dma transfered sound) shouldn't generate non-maskable irq as else a lot of games will crash

Jorpho wrote: Non-masking interrupt. I'm guessing it's needed for true legacy Sound Blaster support. A soundblaster generating non-maskable interrupts might/would be a bad thing. Think there are other hardware that would need it though, but not the soundblaster as far as I know.

Don't bother with IDE emulation. That would be double work as that has been written before. The tools you are writing sound pretty interesting.

coding dosbox is rather difficult. You need to understand how a real PC works as else a lot of things are too complicated. Don't look at dosbox.cpp. There nothing interesting there. Try reading the stuff in ints/dos/shell/hardware to get some understanding on how it works.
