This is what it sounds like to me: - First you need the serial port working in Windows. - Then, you need to plug in a serial mouse but not tell Windows that it's there (and don't let Windows find out on it's own either). - Then, you should be able to pass the raw serial data coming from the mouse …

For the record there is only 1 CVS. however there are more than one people which compile it to executables. aep emulation - compiles it clean. ykhwong - adds a lot of patches. To report "bugs about dosbox itself in the CVS" you should use aep emulation. But as that one was delayed a lot because of …

Are you sure you're running install.exe from the game installation folder and not from the CD the second time? If you're running it from the CD then it may be trying to write the settings to the CD (which of course fails).

Typically on a real DOS box, you'd install a DOS Sierra game like this: - Insert the CD and run the install program - Install to c:\sierra\gamename - Run install.exe from game directory (folder) on hard drive, choose hardware options, save options and quit (***don't select (re)install option, just …

There's certainly no specific support currently. It has been suggested that a serial mouse may work as a second mouse using direct serial support in DOSBox, but I haven't seen anyone confirm this.

Do a dir of your Z:\ drive. I think it's conf or config or writeconf or something.

Sorry to necro-spam an old thread, but I think this is somewhat on-topic: I was cleaning out my parents' garage yesterday (my dad died a year and a half ago and my mom is going to sell the house), and I salvaged a couple of cool video cards: - Paradise SVGA. My first SVGA video card (ISA). Actually …

I confirm. For some reason machine=vga seems to force composite CGA in B&W CGA games. It looks very much like a strange behaviour I reported some time ago with early Legend games which left us puzzled for a while. I was getting a weird scrambled composite-like display when setting DOSBox to VGA and …

As I've explained a million times, OPL chips do not speak MIDI. MIDI commands are never sent to the OPL hardware. Games that play MIDI music on OPL chips do the translation from MIDI commands to OPL commands in software. Only OPL commands are sent from games to drive the OPL chips, so DOSBox never …

Never did get into the Ultima series. Missed out on the "Master of" and X-COM games as well. Betrayal at Krondor and Tie Fighter are easily in my top 10 PC games of all time list though.

You should be able to get it working by using the headers and libs available on libsdl.org. I was once able to get it working with the files from the DirectX 9 SDK (just renamed the files and put them in the appropriate places), but it was a pain and I have since had to reintall mingw/msys.
