software rendered is means its running only on CPU and will be slow if CPU is not so powerful enough,
the
Hardware accelerated wrappers has more benefits like RReady.
if RReady softwarerendered it will not even runs at my laptop.
software rendered CPU manual realization of graphical features like old DOS games uses it.
hardware rendered mostly faster coz converts one API to Another.

also NV1 nvidia wrapper no one realized, and other API's like MSI95 , s3D DOS, s3 metal, SGL2 which is PowerVR2.

Is it possible to get a real "Window" which you can touch with the mouse at the top in order to drag it around?

Thanks again,
supererwin

It's a bit difficult to do this because mouse input gets redirected to dosbox as long as dosclient has focus.

you can alt-tab to main dosbox window and ctrl-f10 to unfocus/focus the mouse

So I could probably make it a moveable window. That might come in a future feature update.

Fixes:
- Tomb Raider 1 video cutscenes should now render on Win11 24H2 with Nvidia hardware and possibly on most Intel integrated GPUs.
- ICR2 by default disables Rendition anti-aliasing which makes the game runnable on GPUs with less VRAM, such as Intel HD graphics. It also provides a significant performance boost on such systems.
- ICR2 – RLauncher now offers control over fogging, bilinear filtering and low res mirrors (original game resolution). Additionally options to disable line drawing and Rendition Anti-Aliasing are available. The latter two are turned off by default as custom carsets have issues with this, even on original hardware. They can be turned back on for purists. Rendition if enabled from RLauncher, can be disabled in game by pressing [ALT+A].
- Whiplash original low res mirrors can be enabled.
- SDK Demo Ucube.exe should now once again render correctly in full screen mode.
- Dosbox-Staging-Rendition now uses dosbox-staging-rendition.conf as its setting file. If an older version was installed, run dosbox-staging-rendition, close it and then copy the old dosbox-staging.conf settings into the newly created dosbox-staging-rendition.conf.
- Should allow for enabling frame interpolation/generation on more GPUs such as the AMD RX7900 series and GT 330 M.
- Window positioning/centering controls in RLauncher with support from the wrapper.
(Note: Position (0,0) is the top left of the primary monitor. Anything to the left/top of the primary will have a negative x/y coordinate or possibly both.
- Better support [ALT+TAB], [ALT+ENTER] commands when switching between Dosclient.exe and the desktop. It should no longer maximise the Dosbox console and leave Dosclient locked out of keyboard and mouse input.

This should be available on the Microsoft Store shortly.

I'm feeling a bit unwell at the moment, some sort of season flu I guess, but I'll be back on the job as soon as possible.

bless you!
dosclient issue remains

tested this build in icr2 , great optimization, my pc so often hits 60fps in intro.
and when i plays also, average fps something like 49 fps i can say.
superb thanks

Thank you! I have a user who gets a black screen and the Dosclient returns to the dosbox.exe prompt. Not entirely sure what's up with that?

[EDIT] Maybe there's an error message there.

The speedy3d environment variable (the one with the path) was wrong.

Hi!

Newest logs attached.

Still load is quite high (as mentioned earlier). And how urgent do I need the window to be drag-able?

First get back well soon! That's far more important. Plus: I am glad to repeat: I do not NEED anything. I appreciate your work, I wouldn't ever urge you to do something. Fulfil it once you find the time. I'm happy with the current solution anyway. 😀

Keep up the good work!

Thanks @supererwin! The brake bias increase key now works only for us english keyboards and won't work for UK keyboards. I'll have to make it configurable in dosbox-rendition.conf. I just patched it in the alpha and live release for [EDIT]US keyboards only[/EDIT].

- Corrects lockup when resuming a race/season in ICR2.
- Brake balance adjustment for ICR2 should work on UK keyboards. They `/~ functionality might not work properly on US keyboard. In the dosbox-rendition.conf (or dosbox-staging-rendition.confg) adding

[rendition]
keyboard = US


The default setting (when missing) is
keyboard=generic

will restore that key, but might break it for everyone else. They keyboard mapping might have to be rehandled at some point using the locale.

I will aim to roll out those two fixes by the end of the week and any other reported bugs.

The load here peaks at 24% without video capture.

I'll be updating the joystick code with new code from the main branch (non-Rendition) at some point. Different people have different preferences. But Staging is a bit less stable with anything other ICR2, vQuake and Rebel Moon. Those 3 apps work as well as on regular dosbox, but the others used to exhibit stability issues. In the past few releases I haven't had time to retest staging against all the other apps. Staging supports using more than 64 MB of RAM, up to 512 MB in this version *I think* (configured through dosbox-staging-rendition.conf in %localappdata%\dosbox). ICR2 may need that later on, maybe, for unlocking custom tracks and easing memory pressure. I don't know yet. Staging generally a more modern dosbox. I plan on supporting Dosbox-X and possibly Daum at some point. Though Dosbox-X's save states may pose a headache for RReady as it's rather extensive state would have to be saved as well.

My attempts at dumping an instruction trace of ICR2 has resulted in lack of storage space. But efforts are ongoing.

So basically not possible to use joypad in staging mode?^

Most probably not at the moment. It'll probably take me around a month to fix it. Do you need it fixed in a hurry?

I don' NEED anything, actually thank you. What is possible I would like
I have to report also severe fps drop with addon car sets, (for example your indy2020) but only at the beginning in the pit lane
