Intel Core 2 duo 1.6ghz That part prob doesn't matter if DOSbox only uses one core.

It's a 1.6ghz dual core machine. It's at about 18,000 when the tempo starts to change.

Posted on 2009-09-22, 04:06
I'm using a music sequencer under DOSbox. If I set CPU cycles to 6000, it works. If I set higher CP use goes up, but not much, BUT the tempo slows down a lot. If I set CPU cycles very low, tempo goes slows down a lot. I'm a bit confused as to why it happens in both directions, and where I want to be …

So why use ddraw for non game apps? Better than opengl in some way? Is it very likely this was my crashing issue? It seems to have stopped, which really worries me, as I use Dosbox on stage for music performances. It has always been 100% reliable until the other day..

Is there anywhere in a wiki or whatever that explains what ddraw actually is, vs opengl etc in Dosbox? I don't use Dosbox for gaming, so I'm looking for nicest text image, and especially not crashng. 😀

NVidia card with newest drivers. So far it didn't crash at all today. Can overlay cause crashes? That was just my wild guess.

I have two separate versions of DOSbox installed, and they are both doing it, so I wonder if if can be related to video drivers or some conflict. Yes, otherwise, PC is running perfectly. (.73, and an older specialized CVS) I changed from overlay to opengl, and will run it more today to try an get it …

I have been using DOSbox .73 wth my music sequencer. Has run great for years. I have not changed *anything* with Dosbox or the config files but have done things like update Windows itself. As of today, every few minutes hitting a key in my Dos app will crash Dosbox competely. "DOSBox DOS Emulator …

That exact CVS version was a compiled EXE for PC only, so I don't see how it could work with OSX.

That makes sense. The input patch worked perfectly for me, and I still use it all the time, so maybe it might get added to to the CVS? (I PMed Srecko, but havn't heard back..) Fingers crossed!!

Yes that's the thread. It ended with Qbix saying: "added fixrtmidi.diff to cvs". I assumed that meant the next version was eventually going to have the MIDI timing fixes and MIDI input, but something must have changed, since there's no MIDI input on .73..

yup @ builds.tharos-online.de I can't imagine what file it might be on that page. I'm pretty confident it's not there.

Yes, it's definitely on here somewhere. (or check your PMs.)

Much appreciated. So ONLY that exact build will have MIDI input, for the time being. When Srecko adds that to the regular CVS, then eventually it will hopefully get merged in, and then someday make it into a release version. Do I have all that correct? 😀
Re: confused about MIDI in
Posted on 2009-06-20, 20:23
Ok, thanks. Is there a way to tell what the latest CVS version I can use that has the MIDI input added? If I download a CVS right before .73 release, would it be in there? I can't seem to find docs on any of this..
Re: Problems with installing Voyetra Sequencer Plus Gold

I was just told .73 does not have MIDI input. (I'm using a .72CVS that does.)
Re: confused about MIDI in
Posted on 2009-06-20, 20:02
Ah, that makes sense then. I'm curious about the process of how things get added to DOSbiox It was working great in the test CVS that Srecko made, and I've used it for ages. Doesn't that normally mean it would have made it into .73??

There's a .72CVS that allows MIDI input. I use: mpu401=intelligent device=win32 config= inconfig=0 midioptions=inputmpu401 My impression is that .73 supports MIDI input now, but these commands don't seem to work. No MIDI in. I tried to find the new commands, but no mention of input in the current …

I send SPG data to Ableton Live all the time. Loopbe works for the routing. The hardware is needed if you have external synths. SPG allows a MIDI metronome signal to be sent instead of the speaker beep. Look at your metronome settings.
Re: Problems with installing Voyetra Sequencer Plus Gold

SPG can be run under DOSbox if you have a fast enough machine. It will send it's MIDI to Windows, which then uses standard Windows MIDI output, such as a USB midi interface - $50 or so. The batch file that loads your version of SPG loaded the Voyera V22 driver, so you have to change it to load the …
