I'm using DOSBOX not for games, but for a professional notation system for music "Score" - without problems.
Now, I have got a new computer and I can't start "Score" not any more.
I get always the message "DynCore: illegal option in opcode 0xff".
Is there some help for this problem?

What dosbox version (before and after)? And what OSs?
Using the same dosbox.conf and directory layout for the app?

I'm using the following conf (Scor4 is the directory of the application Score. Dosbox in C:\Tools\DOSBox)

[sdl]

# fulldouble -- Use double buffering in fullscreen.
# fullfixed -- Don't resize the screen when in fullscreen.
# fullwidth/height -- What resolution to use for fullscreen, use together with fullfixed.
# output -- What to use for output: surface,overlay,opengl,openglnb.
# hwscale -- Extra scaling of window if the output device supports hardware scaling.
# autolock -- Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen.
# sensitiviy -- Mouse sensitivity.
# waitonerror -- Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.

fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullfixed=false
fullwidth=0
fullheight=0
output=surface
hwscale=1.00
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true

[dosbox]
# language -- Select another language file.
# memsize -- Amount of memory dosbox has in megabytes.
# machine -- The type of machine tries to emulate:auto,hercules,cga,tandy,vga.
# Try a specific type if your game has problems with auto.

language=deutsch.lng
machine=auto
memsize=64

[render]
# frameskip -- How many frames dosbox skips before drawing one.
# snapdir -- Directory where screenshots get saved.
# aspect -- Do aspect correction.

[cpu]
# core -- CPU Core used in emulation: normal,full,dynamic.
# cycles -- Amount of instructions dosbox tries to emulate each millisecond.
# Setting this higher than your machine can handle is bad!
# cycleup -- Amount of cycles to increase/decrease with keycombo.
# cycledown Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

core=dynamic
cycles=3000
cycleup=500
cycledown=20

[bios]
# Nothing to setup yet!

[dos]

This conf is quite old, maybe create a new one.

1+1=10

ok, I create a new conf, based on the original 0.72 config. The result is the same. "Dyncore ...."

Be sure you don't re-add stuff like keyb.com while testing.

With the clean dosbox.conf, choose some mounting and stick to that
(like mount c c:\oldstuff) and re-install the app.
