What does it do in stock 0.74 or plain vanilla SVN? Remember that Daum has been broken for a while now.

The ykhwong 2015-01-25 SVN build of DOSBox has been broken and until we get a response from ykhwong, any issues are NOT going to be addressed.

To get around this issue:
1. Stick with the official release of DOSBox 0.74, which has not be updated in over 5 years.
2. Use an older ykhwong SVN build.
3. Use a different emulated graphics card such as the Tseng ET4000.
4. Use a generic SVGA driver for Windows 3.1.

Can you blame people for using other builds though when the main one has been basically abandoned?

I tried it. It breaks just the same.

2. Use an older ykhwong SVN build.

I suspect they would all break just the same.

3. Use a different emulated graphics card such as the Tseng ET4000.

Neither of these will do 1280x1024 in 256 color mode unfortunately.

DOSBox hasn't been abandoned. It is continuously updated. The only issue is that the binaries provided for download are old.

You can either download the code and compile a binary or download an already compiled binary from Emucr.

Don't suspect anythng especially when you are using a DOSBox build no where near official using a mismash of dozens of patches.

Use 0.74 and the latest SVN, try your issue and come back here and report it.

So why on Earth aren't they releasing new official binaries?

Anyway, I tried it with Emucr SVN r3935 build, and.... I get exactly the same problem.

Try the S3 1.70.04 driver in the Windows 3.1x guide.

Use the search it has been discussed a thousand times or so...

Yes! That finally worked. The crash stops happening when I use the following driver:
S3 Trio64V 1.70.04 1280x1024 256 C SF

Thanks!

It hasn't been abanonded, it is however, continously being updated via SVN release. With the generic SVGA driver, you can only get up to 1024 x 768 @ 256 colours. With the S3 1.70.04 driver, you can actually get up to 1600 x 1200 @ 256 colours, but it requires at least 4 MB display memory in order to achieve it.

We're most likely gonna have to wait until sometime early next year when ykhwong updates its DOSBox build.

From what I can tell the answer seems to be "We can't be bothered to release another official build. Ever. Because we're too lazy. Use the Daum build unless you have a problem in which case we'll tell you the Daum build is broken and you shouldn't be using it. Good day."

Sorry to be blunt but I thought I'd save people the effort of searching through a million threads of Qbix et al. bullshitting people along the lines of "it's done when it's done". Don't hold your breath.

Your manners are seriously lacking...
Do you really think that everytime someone with an inflated ego or body part mouths off his feeling of entitlement, the devs are more eager to please you people?
