"0x0" is the correct parameter for the game's native res. 0x0 means the desktop's video mode.

Re: MicroProse F117 2.0, Japanese PC - NO plus key with DOSBox 0.73

The American keyboard should give you the plus sign with SHIFT and the key to the left of BACKSPACE. Looks like the Japanese keyboard has an extra key there - might want to try SHIFT and each of the keys between the 0 (zero) key and BACKSPACE. What value do you have in dosbox config file's …

I am trying to map Left/Right/up/Down/ to a/d/w/s. Can somebody map these keys and attach the mapper file here? Thanks. I assume you mean that you want 'A' to appear in dosbox when you press the "left arrow" on your keyboard, etc. Open dosbox. Press ctrl-f1. Click on the "left arrow key" on the …
Re: Increase speed beyond normal
Posted on 2010-04-24, 21:31
Here's how I understand it: If dosbox is set to 3000 cycles and takes 5% CPU, then unlocking speed (alt-f12) will speed up dosbox about 20x (100%/5%). However, if dosbox is set to 30000 cycles and takes 50% CPU, then alt-f12 will only speed it up 2x (100%/50%). Alt-f12 speeds up the time from the …

You can decrease the turbo mode (alt-f12) speedup by increasing cycles (ctrl-f12).
Re: Wing Commander Armada. Joystick issues.

How does one change Dosbox's joystick options? Dosbox is configured by editing the configuration file . The manual (README.TXT) tells you how to edit and where to find the configuration file: The file is divided into several sections (the names have [] around it). Some sections have options you can …

IMO the config file is clearly documented: # output: What video system to use for output. # Possible values: surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb, ddraw.

Let's start from scratch. Did you install the official dosbox (dosbox.com -> downloads -> "Windows 0.73 Win32 installer")? If you did, you'll have an entry for Dosbox in the start menu -> programs (I don't know what the start menu looks like in Windows 7). There is an entry called Configuration, and …
Re: Editing files in Dosbox directory?
Posted on 2010-04-17, 16:11
Readme.txt is the manual. The manual tells you the following: Q: Do I always have to type these commands? Automation? A: In the DOSBox configuration file is an [autoexec] section. The commands present there are run when DOSBox starts, so you can use this section for the mounting. The manual also …

"Eh, why would I need to do that? XP handed all the outputs completely fine." Because Windows 7 is different. Did you or did you not try different outputs (with default sample rates)? Opengl should probably work.

You can make the game take up most of your screen with the following settings in the config file: fullscreen=true fullresolution=0x0 output=openglnb aspect=true You also might want to set fulldouble=true to prevent tearing artifacts (but for some computers it slows down Dosbox due to buggy SDL / …
Re: Controller help

Dosbox emulates old gameport joysticks. Basic PC joysticks had at most 4 analog axes and 4 buttons. Some more advanced joysticks multiplexed 16 buttons into the 4 button inputs (but with multiplexing you can only press one button at one time). Additionally, the game has to support advanced joysticks …

"i tried to change in dosbox.conf.txt the output graficmode from surface to overlay, opengl, openglnb and ddraw. but this doesnt help" If the configuration file is called dosbox.conf .txt then dosbox probably isn't using it. Look at dosbox's status window to see which config file it loads. Put "echo …
Re: MT-32 -> PC connection woes

Did you select the correct MIDI output from Windows' MIDI mapper? With Windows XP and Live! it looks like "SB Live! MIDI Port" instead of "SB Live! Synth A" under MIDI Music Playback under Control Panel's Sounds and Audio Devices. Another guess: MT-32 doesn't generate sound because the MIDI messages …
Re: Video capture aspect ratio problems
Posted on 2010-03-16, 17:39
Having said that, the video captures and (internal) screenshots are in 320x200 (or a multitude of that) and the game itself is too if aspect=false. Now, I get the game was programmed that way and is also processed by the graphics card like that. But, if no one actually saw it like that, how is this …
Re: Video capture aspect ratio problems
Posted on 2010-03-16, 13:57
But, having said that, isn't it a bit curious the chosen resolution for CGA was 320x200 when this in fact could not be displayed correctly on a standard monitor (unless you had black bars that is). 320x200* can easily be displayed on a standard 4:3 CRT monitor. Think about how a CRT works: it draws …
