Quite a few of those suggestions would break compatibility with older DOS games, which would be going against the very point of the emulator.

You can always check the sourceforge page and the cvs activity itself. Dosbox is sitll one of the more active projects around.
Re: GP2x and DosBox

Some really old and simple games probably would work, though it'd be a bit painful having to remap the controls for each game. A really snazzy front end could help with that though.

The dynamic core only applies to x86 based machines, which the GP2X definitely is not. Honestly with just a 200MHz ARM9 for it to use, I'd expect crappy performance. No matter what you did.
Re: How to stretch fullfixed resolution to fill *all* resolution space?
Posted on 2006-02-24, 19:31
I'm pretty sure what you're seeing is normal and correct. Most older games only operat at a 4:3 aspect ratio. The resolution you just specified is quite common on LCD screens and is 5:4. It's a bit taller than typical. Filling up the whole screen would involve stretching the image out of proportion …
Re: Dosbox and dual-core ?
Posted on 2006-02-22, 04:06
Yep, if your're on an x86 machine the dynamic core's the way to go.
Re: Dosbox and dual-core ?
Posted on 2006-02-21, 19:47
Not really. Dosbox is mostly written with a single main thread for the emulation so what you're experiencing is normal. The best way you can up performance for higher cycles if you haven't already, is to use the dynamic core.
Re: New DOSbox version (please don't assume this is a cliche post)
Posted on 2006-02-15, 04:28
What's really sad is that your post really is pretty cliche despite not assuming. As with many development projects, it'll be out when it's out. The CVS IS public. You can build a new version whenever you like, and several people maintain their own CVS builds for the public to show them what's going …

I've been meaning to learn to make easier to distribute binaries for Mac eventually, buy me an MacIntel and I'll make a universal binary my priority. *whistles innocently*

It should be fixed in the CVS, give it a go.

As was said, something running in the background. Also, what sort of settings were you using? It sounds like those could've been lost from before. Also are you trying a different game this go around? Your system more than likely won't be able to handle much more than games in the fairly old category …

Did you at least reconfigure you soundcard with it running first?

Read the instructions, if that's too hard get a front end.

In the CVS I believe it's "core dynamic" I don't believe this is in .63.
Re: DosBox
Posted on 2006-01-27, 00:35
The command prompt is not DOS. MS-DOS came on 3(4 with extras) floppies and was an operating system in it's own right. Dosbox is emulating not only this operating environment, but also all of the hardware of a PC. It is NOT comparable to a command prompt in this. A save state function has been …

Re: Next release?
Posted on 2006-01-25, 08:38
Just use a CVS build and be happy. The patch you're referencing might not be part of an official release for a long time anyways.
Re: No Sound?
Posted on 2006-01-23, 04:19
First off, sound needs to be enabled in dosbox. Second off, you have to configure the games to use dosbox's emulated sound system. Princess Maker 2's sound works fine in dosbox, and general midi works in CVS builds.
Re: On fullscreen 1280x1024 the screen is cut off at the bottom and top

You should also keep in mind that any games or things running at 320x200 aren't going to fit perfectly either and will be stretched or blackbar-ed.
