Re: 0.6.2's ipxnet's portS

Posted on 2004-10-03, 16:43

Outgoing ports usually get opened only at the time of need and not kept in the background all the time like incoming ports. For example, when you connect to a POP server to download e-mail, only in THAT moment some outgoing ports open for you and close right after you finish the download. The same …

I've toyed with it here and there. If I had time I'd try to get the Win32 driver working again. I'd also like to perfect the sawtooth wave's filter once and for all. I'll be posting a 0.62 MT-32 activated build pretty soon here.

Re: DOSBox security ?

int 13/some and int 25 and 26 are not supported by dosbox. there is some fake code there that used for disk present detection but no actual data transfers Well, if a disk image is mounted the INT13 calls work. Of course, then its just going to single image file on the hard drive and the worst one …

Re: 2 noob questions

Both of your questions are answered in detail in the readme. There is additional help here: How to speed up DOSBox (by robertmo and mirekluza) The quick answer to your first question though is to simply specify the path as a parameter when you run DosBox, for example, dosbox c:\horde

Re: Win 3.1 SVGA Driver

We haven't added Oak emulation because the Oak card is technically inferior to the S3 video card. On the other hand, I implemented it in my version because I am both very familiar with the Oak implementation and its also one of the simplest SVGA implementations out there.

Re: Native x86 DOSBOX?

Heck, I bet there are a few tricks used by DOS game developers that are incompatible with any form of dynamic recompilation (self modifying code is merely difficult). You are correct. The encryption scheme used by 2nd Reality works with the interpreter, but not the dynamic compiler. Getting 2nd …

Re: DOSBox Slowness fix:

Posted on 2004-09-02, 13:06

I unlocked it really quickly to get my two cents in. Here's the deal, for the mid-80's, Amigas were quite ahead of the game as far hardware. The thing is, however, is that they fell behind. With the widespread adoption of the 386, the PC had something the Amiga never had: memory protection and ring …

Re: Dosbox tries to act as a telnet server?

Posted on 2004-08-12, 03:13

I highly doubt that opening the telnet port automatically within DosBox presents any security vunerability because: 1. Not enough people use DosBox. It wouldn't be a very reliable service to hack. 2. Anyone connecting to the port effectively sees the techincal end of a RS232 port. Nothing to see …

Sorry for my delayed response. I really haven't had that much time at all to dedicate to the MT-32 driver. Have at it and use the code as you feel fit. The code itself is in the public domain. I'll post more if I get time.

There's work going on with the networking for sure. But at the moment people are waiting for IPX to work so they could play their dos games in multiplayer. There will surely be stuff I like this in the future, though who the *@#¤ would wanna browse the web in win3? :) Huh? IPX does work. Read the …

OT: Questions about DOSBOX

Posted on 2004-07-06, 11:23

This is incorrect. Amiga started as a separate company from Commodore and were later bought out. Commodore chose to market the Amiga as the successor to the Commodore. The thing that killed Commodore was the same thing that's hindered Apple this entire time with the Mac. They kept the hardware …

Re: Questions about DOSBOX

Back in the day, when programs weren't multithreading and executing billions of instructions a second, simple hand-coded assembly almost always won out over high level code. More often than not this idea is no longer true. For a lot of things, compilers can optimize with the target CPU in mind …
