Re: Runtime error 002 at 0004:2C46.

Hmm, did not notice, the project on SF uses dynamic runtime. The file is freely distributable. To decrease load on our forum server I will just give you a link to another site with download: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp71 EDIT: The executable may require some other DLLs, I …

The promised custom executable. Had to modify my solution to work with new scalers, was not too bad. This is based of current CVS with the following changes: VGA_PARTS patch applied (same as on SF) -- most likely, not really necessary. In vga_draw.cpp < #define VGA_PARTS 1 -> #define VGA_PARTS 200 < …

Re: Potential for the DOSBox Video Capture - Movies!

Posted on 2006-06-09, 17:48

Under A Killing Moon (and Pandora Directive) were marketed as "interactive movies" so the task should not be that difficult :wink: Just keep in mind that providing such movies for download may still count as copyright violation. It's not hopeless though, depending on how you do it you may actually …

Just Google "qix dosbox" and check a few first hits.

Most likely, it is protected in the manner very similarly to Arkanoid. Does not work on XP either -- XP does not support some low-level floppy controller calls. Win9x allows more direct control so it might work. It may still fail with some modern floppy controllers. Atari 800 version may actually be …

Make sure that SB16 is enabled in dosbox.conf, also check that port/irq/dma settings are consistent between dosbox.conf and the game. I've played this game all the way through with earlier version of DOSBox with only a few minor graphics glitches -- sometimes sprites don't draw all the way, also the …

@Gwenhwyfar: I am a little busy lately so I can't get that patched binary right now. If you can wait until Friday, I should have some time then. Otherwise, if you can build DOSBox on your machine, here's the thread with relevant discussion: The game ist blue!

I had it kinda working not too long ago, did not check lately. The game should be playable but with rather major visual glitch: the water starts at the top of the screen. As a result the entire screen looks very blue and you cannot tell where the real water is. I was able to hack it to work properly …

Re: Monochromatic CGA simulation. Is it possible?

Posted on 2006-06-05, 20:02

No, it's just not done yet. Hopefully, one day it will be. It is not that difficult, just a matter of applying correct palette but there is one twist. The final image will look fine for amber and greyscale modes, those were typically quite sharp with very little afterglow; but it will be very far …

Re: Another dos game hunt

It is still being sold online: http://www.virtualsoftware.com/ProdPage.cfm?ProdID=353 . Softdisk was (is?) not a developer but rather budget distributor. This particular game looks like fairly typical one-person shareware they picked for distribution. Now that they stopped distributing it the author …

Re: What were Tandy & Hercules?

f I could go back in time, I'd put both the Herclues and SVGA cards in at the same time just for the fun of it. I doubt there was much that could take advantage of it back then though. That was quite common debugging configuration. Many debuggers would use monochrome card for output. SoftICE did …

Re: Booter games compatibility overview

Posted on 2006-05-28, 06:53

DOS itself may not be able to read a booter -- there are booters with non-standard directory structure. The bigger problem is that there are some hardware incompatibilities between 1.2M and 360K drives. Reading is typically not a problem but if you write on 1.2M drive the disk may be unreliable on …

Re: VGA_Parts

Posted on 2006-05-28, 06:44

Breaking screen rendering into multiple parts (bands), originally intended to fix sound stattering or something like that. Think of it as poor man multithreading :wink: I've played with it a while ago, IMHO it's not really needed anymore. I've proposed different way to slice the load, you can take a …
