you have to make a NEW dosbox.conf EVERY TIME you got a new dosbox.

uhm doesnt that simply disable the output but still emulates it?

here's my config:

[sdl] mapperfile=./mapper.txt […]
Show full quote

[sdl]
mapperfile=./mapper.txt

fulldouble=false
fullfixed=false
fullresolution=0x0

output=surface

[render]
#aspect=false
scaler=none

[dosbox]
machine=auto
memsize=8

[cpu]
core=dynamic
cycles=1500

[speaker]

disney = false
pcrate=11025
tandyrate=11025

[dos]
xms=false
ems=false

[autoexec]

any hints? 😀

how many years do you use that config?
one might have thought that a person who knows how to compile should be smarter... this scares me...

uhm i've simply started the config from scratch. the destination-platform is a arm-cpu powered linux machine... as most of the values are supposed to have default values i've removed them. unfortuneatuly the wiki doesnt tell much about options... i'd be happy about any help.

Maybe DReffects uses the 0.63 source.

i've downloaded the latest csv build (20060317) but theres no config included, so i went with the 0.63 one and removed comments etc...

inside dosbox:
config -writeconf filename

machine=auto was last used in dosbox 0.61 😉

oh ok - i've got that from the wiki...

i have my full config now - so how do i optimize? 😀 and still my question: how can i disable sound emulation entirely to save some cpu time?

with nosound=true some power is saved when mixing streams.
but disabling each emulated sounddevice should do the trick.
most can be disabled (as you did in your configfile posted above)

thanks for the advice 😀

is there any way in the mapper.txt to tell dosbox, that if a specific key is pressed, this key is mapped to TWO buttons?

i have a controller with a seperate north-east/west etc. key on the pad so when you point the controller to north-west only one key is actually pressed. would be good if i could map this to both key_up AND key_left
😀

technically possible.
not sure how it would look like in the mapper file. but easy to make.
(try making it in the windows version and see how it does it.)
Don't know the syntax of the file by hard.

i figured it out (defining both keys twice) 😀

another thing: how comes that if i run dosbox in cga mode i don't get any picture when i am trying to start a game? i hear music and stuff but still see the dos environment instead of thr game...

thx for all your help!!

What game?

any game ive tried... overkill, wing commander 1 and a bunch of others

Are you sure Wingcommander has CGA support??

uhm yeah.. overkill does absolutely as i can select ega in setup 😉

Don't know about overkill, but WC1 definitely doesn't have a CGA mode.
Maybe try some old cga game like cats, and set the cycles low, and use
the normal core.
