I have been using DosBox on WinXP for a long time but now I try to switch to Linux. I downloaded the official 0.72 sourcecode, it compiled and installed well. I discovered that only surface output enables a descent performance and now Dosbox runs quite nice. There is one problem left, though and I …

You have to understand him. This computer is a living thing. After running for years now, teH ghost in the (his) machine has turned his computer into a pet animal. p.s.: We should have a random image thread.

Maybe use loadfix before starting the game. Wing Commander 2 has really strange bugs, which all can be fixed by using loadfix. The message about negative memory size may be caused by to muchh free memory, ironically.

So there shouldn't be multiple opls. Have you tried modifying the sb entry in dosbox.conf? Maybe the game recognizes two opls and uses them for stereo. Also the error description could not apply, who knows.

Maybe record it again with sounblaster selected in the soundsetup instead of sbpro or sb16. Some newer Sounblaster have 2 opls, I think.

There is not so much you can actually do. Your system simply lacks cpu power. By increasing frameskip, setting scaler to none, reducing sampling rate and setting core dynamic and cycles max you could get a few frames per second. But I really doubt it will be playable then. Try to follow the advice …

As Dungeon Keeper also has a win version, I would strongly recommend playing the win32 d3d version. You get a slightly higher resolution, fsaa and bi/trilinear or even anisotropic filtering and it is really playable. There is only one issue with the speed of the game frontend, which is much too …

Mouse locking works now differently for me. I liked the old way of mouse locking better. I cant Alt+Tab DosBox away anymore, wich I did frequently in previous releases. But good work anyway. Love it.

Maybe there is a driver for Windows wich enables that.

Women have male slaves who set up Dosbox for them if they want to play Settlers 2. Males are just stupid and think they would be controlling technology. The simply dont realize how much they are exploited. 😜

Drag and dropping the .exe on Dosbox.exe or a shortcut to Dosbox.exe in explorer should call dosbox with the filename (full path) as parameter. It is generally not recommenced, but using it might lead to something.

Did you use DosBox in past succesfully? You could also try drag and dropping the .exe into DosBox.

There are some speed problems with fast CPUs, but I think that they only appear in menu screens. I was able to play the game. The only thing I missed was the list of "achievements" like imps punished, lies told, etc. because it scrolled down way too fast.

Maybe you should try running the Windows version. It runs really nice for me and looks much better because of the D3D patch. I only had to activate compability mode in WinXP to get it running, nothing else.
