Re: blood 1, settlers 2, settlers 2 gold.

Is "frequency out of range" the only thing mentioned on the screen? Because the OSD of my Philips monitor has menu titles, just like Windows has window titles (you know, "my compyter", "internet explorer", or "firefox"). And it is there that that Philips monitor puts the frequencies. And because …

Oh, that's what you meant with main menu. I thought my suspicion about the title of the OSD menu of your monitor containining the frequency was true. The specified frequency is really nowhere to be found in the notice the menu? My old philips for example, also says "frequency out of range", and the …

That's enough hardware info. Nothing unusual. I have about the same videocard (I have the slower version, LE), but I don't have Windows, so that doesn't mean anything. But, 31 KHz 60Hz is just 640x480 VGA standard. I don't see any reason why your monitor wouldn't support that. Hooking up the most …

You can also enable e-mail notification... Dos box checks the refresh rate? As far as I know, dosbox just sets a resolution and color depth, and lets the OS determine the refreshrate, and the OS in turn decides if the monitor can handle it. Apps don't need to do that manually, only dos apps do (and …

Your monitor is a multisync (or is the term autosync?) monitor, so it should be able to handle every kind of refreshrate. But, interlaced modes could be a different story. That's the only oddness I can think of. Or pherhaps it's trying to set too low a refreshrate... I can't think of any solution. I …

And that monitor can't handle a high refreshrate...? I think this is being caused by settlers not recogizing your videocard properly. Or perhaps it's trying to do an interlaced mode or something. When the monitor says the frequency is out of range, does it also say what the frequencies are? And …

Should you ever come across a dos4gw game that doesn't have a dos4gw.exe file, then it's embedded in the executable, or some other datafile. Dos32a provides tools to bind dos32a to those files, instead of dos4gw. The "sb" tool is the one you'll need most. If dos32a fixed it BTW, then it was not a …

Your screen says invalid frequency and it displays a distorted image? When it has oversync protection, it shouldn't display anything, because you can destroy the monitor with it. I ask again, what monitor do you have? This is really strange, because dosbox sets it's own graphical mode. As far as I …

Is the garble accompanied by a sqeeking noise from your monitor, and does it look like very dynamic electronic interference? Or is it the kind of garble you could see in an image or movie? I suspect the latter, because you would have to have a very old monitor for it not to have oversync protection. …

Settlers2 works fine on my PC, when using the dos32a replacement for dos4gw. I do have to use soundblaster, instead of Gravis Ultrasound. The latter just crashes. The core option of dosbox is set to "dynamic", I don't know what happens with "normal". It is very slow BTW. My Athlon X2 3800+ can play …

Re: time for 0.64 ?

Posted on 2005-12-03, 12:25

I can't wait until 0.64! Especially the IPX/modem support ranks high in my list. I know I can download CVS-builds, but I installed Dosbox through my linux-distro's package manager, and I'd rather not create a mess of my system by installing everything by hand. And, my opponent(s) my also not be …

Re: Virtual modem port

Posted on 2005-07-04, 10:20

Keeping around two binaries goes against the version control of my package management system in my Linux distro. But, I could install 0.61 in my home dir of course. Should I employ that sollution, I just hope that 0.62 and 0.63 don't contain vital solutions for bugs.

You mean Retaliator on 0.63? I never wrote anywhere that it works... Well, I was asuming my problem was more with Retal than with Dosbox, because the modem didn't give any response at all. So far, every game produced something as modemcommands on stdout, Retal didn't. Yet I was still able to type …

Re: Direct serial port working

If you are using the dosbox.conf in my zip file, the modem is on COM1. Retaliator doesn't cause problems over here. COM2 is directserial com1. I didn't use your conf. The modem part doesn't have much to configure, so I don't see the need. Direct serial isn't even present in my config, which I …

Warcraft: You're talking about IPX, right? (just to be sure) I only tested if a game could be started, not much more. Warcraft1 is a bit primitive and playing against myself is not so much fun. Yeah, ipx. The game doesn't even start. It's says "connecting" forever, until one of the player's …

HAL9000, you said that Warcraft was still working with your new version, but I can't get it to work with version 0.63. I see a lot of network traffic, but Warcraft crashes (it doesn't respond anymore, and I can't get my mouse back with ctrl-F10). Killing one of the players gives the other his …

Re: Virtual modem port

Posted on 2005-07-03, 16:38

to use the virtual modem you will need to revert to version 0.61 or older. The virtual modem has been broken since 0.62 in favor of serial port code. Apparently there is no plan to fix it in the near future so its 0.61 or nothing. Hmm, bummer. Why is that? I mean, the virtual modem doesn't have to …

I've always been confused about midi, what devices there are, how the banks are ordered, etc. Anyway, this was also true about soundcanvas. I just tried it, and it does sound different than SB. It sounds like GM, SBLive GM, which sounds bad, at least for dune2... I run Linux BTW, so I don't have a …

Re: Virtual Modem

Posted on 2005-07-01, 13:24

Well, the portnumber is not my biggest problem. My biggest problem is that almost every app sends ATZ to the modem, modem sends OK and then nothing. What should happen is that the app continues with ATDT etc. Only Terminal Velocity does that, but only when I re-start the modem game several times. At …
