Not the first time, i always choose roland when i can. But voices and sound effects are nice.
Re: Anyone knows the reason why windows 3.11 set to 256 colors scales with output=opengl but set to 64k colors it doesnt?

Specifically i'm asking if there is a way to keep opengl ouput always scaling the image to a fixed (desktop) resolution, not only the first time. Sure i can always use surface, but that distorts the game image on my 'widescreen' (not really) monitor because it refuses to introduce black bars! In …

The source download contains source files that are changed from the original version of DOSBox, not the whole source of DOSBox. Simply replace the original files with the changed source files, it should probably work. Sure, you can use them for your own build. Sorry but that will simply not work …

Eh. The same audio files converted from wav to ogg (with the last cue, that fixed the wrong offsets for voice audio) actually play the intro and voices. Meaning something is probably wrong with how cue+wav is calculating length or something. Funny enough, if i try to replace a single ogg of the …

gog release might have a few clues of how to do it. Last time i tried (on not gog release) i had broken cd audio.
Re: Scratchy sound in Tomb Raider
Posted on 2015-08-24, 02:24
One thing I discovered is that it's better to download the Unfinished Business add-on from the net and install that one rather than installing it off the extra CD included with the Gold version. When installed from the download, it uses the original Tomb Raider CD to play background audio tracks …
Anyone knows the reason why windows 3.11 set to 256 colors scales with output=opengl but set to 64k colors it doesnt?

Both start with the dosbox DOS shell at the right vertical resolution... it's just that windows at 8 bits keeps it, while at 16bits... doesn't. Maybe it's a colordepth change making the driver heuristics think it's not worth it to it to scale? edit: oh and fullresolution=desktop ofc.

BTW new rising sun, were you aware that Rise of the Dragon for the Sega Cd has full voiced audio (except a censored 'sex' scene)? Could be another crazy project for you 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TuiEOm1FxQ Pity dynamix managed to screw the palette of their own game when porting.
Re: Hacking Populous 2 to always start in fullscreen
Posted on 2015-08-21, 06:04
The pc version has a high resolution mode switch /h BTW, i could say the exact same thing for a 'start in high resolution' mode when starting a mission for other two games: syndicate wars and magic carpet 2. Those require pressing a key in mission (F8 in Syndicate Wars, F6 in Magic Carpet 2) to turn …

Bump. Help me dos hackers, you're my only hope (besides scummvm anyway). I think running another game to hear the stupid game mt32 soundtrack is dumb. Since the game is also runnable in scummvm, if you decide to tackle this i'd like a seperate executable i can call in the bat file so scummvm doesn't …

That LFN thing was for Noir: A shadowy thriller which ambushed me just now by requiring LFN support on the second cd. That other Antara error occurred in real windows 98 or XP (can't recall), so i was just looking for a ending save so i could see if it goes away in win3.1 or my cds are defective ( …
Re: Long File Name support

Is there a updated patch / diff file for the feature LFN support? The latest downloads all seem to be the whole source. I'm especially interest in Joliet cdrom lfn support, since the game i'm trying (Noir on cd 2) has that problem. If it works with mount directory as cdrom even better. I'm …

Yeah i was informed in irc this requires longfilename support and that is not a feature in the horizon on the mainline dosbox. So be it.
Re: Any good Windows 3.1 games?
Posted on 2015-08-20, 20:08
Mmmm, since i mentioned it i thought it best to test it out and installed Noir a shadowy thriller in dosbox. First the good news: it works Then the bad news: until it asks you to change discs, then it cant find a file. The reason is obvious if you look at the name of the file it's looking for. It's …

Curious. I tried to regenerate the cue file from cd by using CUEgen: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~slavinp/cuegen.html (this removed duplicate INDEX 0 entries). It still seems to work when mounted (after adding the right .img name part anyway). But again, when converted to wav+iso by bchunk, things are …
Do windows 3.1 soundblaster drivers have known problems in dosbox?
Posted on 2015-08-20, 02:59
I'm happy about windows 3.1 emulation to play some old unplayable games except in one respect: occasional buffer underruns, pauses and weird volume fluctuations in sound. These problems are not major, but every game sound SB16 quality is a little lower than i'm used to in DOS. My drivers are: …

I am extremely partial to Betrayal in Antara. Love that game. Need to install that. I own the game but i need a virtual machine to even copy the files of the 3rd cd :lol: Also i'm kind of scared of running it on dosbox because years ago, the game crashed on the very last scene where introducing …

Some obscure (because win3.1) adventures: Cosmology of Kyoto, Dust, Titanic, Noir a shadowy Thriller.

Much win95 software will also work …
