Have you tried fixed cycles, like cycles=10000 or whatever the game seems to run best with?

I think mounting multiple images is done the same way within DOSBox on all platforms, although the path on the system is probably different. I usually see people on Macs mounting from /users/ /DOS/CD/ , but whatever works. The cdrom audio channel control is implemented for IMGMOUNT and MOUNT -t …

I suggest keeping images somewhere other than where you're mounting the C: drive, but the steps you're using appear to be correct. Perhaps there is some problem with the images you created. What is listed if you do a DIR command after switching to the D: drive?

Did you try the vanilla SVN build for OS X provided by Dominus that is linked on the wiki? http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/SVN_Builds If you've been relying solely on the frontend in Boxer to run games, reading the 60 seconds guide in the guides section of the forum will help you to become more familiar …

In some cases the issue is caused by using Synergy.
Re: Can't Run a Program Called Menu.exe
Posted on 2013-10-02, 16:30
There is no shell command named "menu" or internal program called "menu.exe", at least not in official DOSBox. Perhaps the menu.exe program is executing "intro", because that does display a welcome message and various usage info. However, it sounds to me like you're getting a subshell instead of a …

Chronicles Of The Sword, Different Sound Out Of Each Speaker To summarize: it should be working in vanilla SVN with IMGMOUNT. It's probably also working in ykhwong's SVN build, but I haven't tested it there.

Is that a 64-bit edition of Windows 7? If so, that may explain why core=dynamic works for me but not for you.

@emendelson @mhaigler: Thanks for the feedback. At some point I'll look at a more comprehensive patch that includes the non-standard stuff and graphics modes. For anyone interested in fiddling with it, an important thing to understand is that the CurMode struct only contains info from the mode table …

Could the intermittent results some reported with your patch be due to making BIOS calls so often? The results aren't intermittent. The problems emendelson mentioned are with non-standard text modes he is using with his custom build and graphics modes that are not addressed by the patch. Why not …

What CPU, OS, and version of DOSBox are you using?

Default settings, then type the command "core dynamic" before running the game. I don't think the settings make much difference; the display glitch is caused by a CPU bug. If dynamic core doesn't get rid of the glitch for you, perhaps it works differently on your system than mine, in which case you …

You shouldn't change mode 3, it's a standard mode. You can, however, *alter* mode 3 at runtime, such as by switching to the 8x8 font (80x50), or the 8x12_50 TSR.

It seems the issue is in CPU emulation with normal core, not video emulation. I really wasn't expecting to find a significant CPU bug at this point. Anyway, use the core=dynamic setting as a workaround.
Re: Mouse pointer does not move below 25 line in the 50-lines text mode. (SOLVED)
Posted on 2013-09-18, 21:08
The patch will only have an effect on modes that are recognized as text modes (note the CurMode->type == M_TEXT condition), graphic modes are unchanged. So far I've only tried the patch on variations of mode 3 where the BIOS row and columns are set correctly.
Re: Scroll problem at The Perfect General 1

The scrolling (up) issue appears to be in video hardware and/or video memory emulation. Loading a video BIOS and booting real DOS do not make a difference; no calls are made to INT 10h for the scrolling. The problem is not seen in Bochs or the NTVDM. Scrolling text windows are also affected, such as …

My first thought was that character height would figure into it, but it appears not to, haven't worked out why exactly. Needs some testing in any case.

The attached source patch appears to resolve the issue with text screen dimensions when the mouse is unlocked, but only for the internal mouse driver. Maybe there are games that can benefit from it, but at this point I know of none.

Re: Cthuga Microphone/CD Audio Input Support
Posted on 2013-09-17, 09:58
Cthugha uses controls on the soundcard to select an input: microphone, line-in, or CD. DOSBox does not support audio input in the SB or GUS emulation, and I haven't seen any attempts to implement it. There is a workaround to get the Creative Parrot to run, but it's not actual input. The few DOS …
