Does scaler option only apply up to 320x200 mode ?
Posted on 2005-06-18, 16:44
Hi to everyone, The scaler option applies to low resolution modes : does it mean up to VGA mode or some VESA modes are also concerned ? Thanks to all.

Look at your dosbox.conf file, maybe your language option refers to an incorrect file.

I would like to translate it, but my english is not very good... so I can't do it myself. :( In fact it would have been a good way to submit it to a large amount of people, including your team, to point its flaws and correct/improve them. Anyway, as a user of DOSBox, I'm very honored that you …

Re: Performances decreasing with digital sounds under Windows XP
Posted on 2005-05-05, 15:28
This problem occurs in games like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D or Might and Magic III. If I'm correct they use voc files. I tried it on two machines : - one with Windows XP Home SP2, - the other with Windows XP Pro SP1. Results are the same. I don't know how to solve it but I think the information can be …

OK, the game "believes" all the files it needs are loaded into memory, but when it attempts to access one of them, a pagefault happens and the file is loaded into memory. On-demand. Files are kept on the hard drive and called into memory only when the game needs them. I understand now why you …

Thanks again Qbix for your patience and for your help. I think I can sum it up correctly this time : - Simple : 80x86 processor emulation, does not include virtual memory handling, - Normal : increase capabilities of simple mode, includes virtual memory handling, - Full : different way to emulate …
Re: DOSBox : cpu and midi options hard to understand

OK, like my friend Victor says, I think I complicate too much things. If I had to sum them up : - from simple to full, the emulation is more complete/complex but performances can decrease, - dynamic, the emulation is less stable but performances can increase. Do you think it's correct ?

Hi Kaminari ! ;) Thanks for these precisions. I made some researchs about dynamic translation. I finally found this site : http://www.byte.com/art/9711/img/117cpua2.htm If I correctly understand, dynamic translation works in this way : - there is a cache where compiled code is stored, - when the …

Hi, Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think this sort of guide exists. The best way to start is : - to read the Readme, - to read the DOSBox Wiki Page, - to experiment different settings on your DOSBox.conf file, - to browse the forum. The only advice I can give you is to lower some parameters on your …

Once again I forgot to log in. :disapproving: I'm not sure to understand : if paging is refering to virtual memory, what is designed for ? - For machines with low-end memory ? - For games which require a lot of memory ?

Hi to everyone, Many users of DOSBox, and especially me, don't understand some of the features of DOSBox.

Sorry, Guest is me. I forgot to log in. 😀 By the way, if your aspect option is set to false, you can observe a cinemascope effect but your screen is not cutted off.

Hi, I'm not sure to understand your problem. It seems your picture is partially displayed. Is that right ? With DOSBox, you can set up three options : - fullfixed, - aspect, - fullresolution. Fullfixed = true, DOSBox uses the resolution of the fullresolution option. Fullfixed = false, DOSBox uses …
