Re: Thexder EGS vs TANDY/PCjr mode

Posted on 2010-07-07, 20:30

in Milliways
I never did like the look in EGA, even when I had a real EGA card and monitor. Definitely Tandy for me. Looks so much cleaner imho. Not to mention it has better sound. The EGA image only has 6 colours, 4 if you don't count black and white as colours, 2 if you also don't count the yellow and green …

Re: Save States - Proof of concept

Another biggie is open files. This is also one of the toughest, since you must maintain a list of mountings, current directory, names of files that are open, with the correct file handle, I/O buffer and file pointer. To do it right, there should even be a check whether any open file has not been …

Re: Settings only GUI panel?

Anyway it has been tried to integrate something like this into Dosbox and both authors didn'T finish it, instead never came back... I'm still around, Dominus. And actually still working on it too, though progress has been slow due to my new and rather busy day job. On the plus side, vacation time …

It had to happen...

It was only a matter of time before this hit the news, of course: Windows 3.11 on DOSBox on the Google Nexus One. "The saddest thing we've seen all day"... more like the coolest 😁

The Dr. reminds me of "In Search of Dr. Riptide", but there you play guy in a purple suit in a submarine. The green or purple lump reminds me of "Nebulus". Not slime, though, nor does it have "Dr." in the title. And then there's "Skweek", but that doesn't match the title and you're not example green …

Re: Typin a '\' in dosbox 0.73

Posted on 2010-02-01, 17:16

I tried the '/' instead of the '\', didn't work. and I can't get the alt-58 method to work. (am I doing it wrong, i,m holding alt down while i press the number 5 and then 8). Be sure to use the 5 and 8 on the numeric keypad. Not the numbers above the letter keys. I'd recommend solution number 4 …

You don't need to route through the mixer by yourself. That is simply what happens when you use a cue/bin combination (that's a disk image format, like ISO). You can use something like isobuster to rip a CD to .BIN (rather than .ISO).

Re: Eliminate the DOSBox function key assignments?

Posted on 2010-01-30, 13:53

Then you didn't read (or at least understand) properly. That section does mention how to do it. Let me spell it out for you: When you start the keymapper, all the custom DOSBox functions are in the area at the bottom right. "ShutDown", "Cap Mouse", etc. With the exception of "Fullscreen" and "Pause …

Re: Populous full-screen colour problem

Posted on 2010-01-28, 16:50

This is independent of whatever software you're running inside DOSBox (although the effect may simply seem less pronounced). It's a known issue caused by the Vista/7 versions of Windows Explorer. The remedy is to use an output mode other than surface in the DOSBox configuration file (reach it …

Re: Last Half of Darkness part 3

in Milliways
There are a few (rare) cases where the copyright holders of a game or other software have released it into the public domain or at least as freeware and actually termed it "abandonware". It's a confusing term, not very well defined and not really an official designation of anything, especially …
