Hi guys, I'm trying to compile dosbox-ece r4456 on Fedora 34, but it's not working. Here's the log part where are the errors I am getting:

...

Not sure what's going on there. For reference, dosbox-ece r4301 (Linux source) compiles fine using the same libraries (openglide and libmt32emu) and commands.

Thanks for any help.

Guys does DOSBox ECE work on Windows XP, was it tested there? And what about GeForce FX (5600), is it enough for its glide support? I do know that nGlide is perfectly fine with this gpu, but what about ECE one?

I just wanna use DOSBox ECE on my old laptop 😀

Sorry if it was already covered somewhere...

The enthusiasm about the different dosbox forks reminds me of 3dfx voodoo code I have. It may work on the ECE port in addition to all the forks listed above. I think I still have the code, if so I can try to post it.

I've just ran it in a Windows XP virtual machine. So at least it starts, whether everything works is probably up to you to find out 😀

Which 3Dfx emulator do you use, the internal wrapper configured in the [pci] section of the conf file or the one relying on an external wrapper in the [glide] section?

My full-featured DOSBox SVN builds for Windows & Linux: Vanilla DOSBox and DOSBox ECE (Google Drive Mirror)

I used the internal one. nGlide and dgVoodoo2 were giving me black screens.

LOST USB ARCADE JOYSTICK SUPPORT WITH BUILD r4459

I switched from ECE r4288 to r4459 and lost support for arcade stick "Hori Fight Stick Mini"...
The joystick is still detected: "Using joystick Controller (Fighting Stick mini 4 kai) with 5 axes, 10 buttons and 1 hat." as it did with r4288 but now directions are ignored. Only buttons work.
This is an XInput DPAD for movements... Using XBox controller it works fine, but support for XInput DPAD with the arcade joystick seems gone 🙁
I can just swap the dosbox exe keeping everyhing the same inluding cfg and sdl.dll files but r4459 doesn't like arcade sticks anymore.
CTRL+F1 to redefine key bindings also ignores any directional input from the arcade stick with r4459.

This is how it looked under r4288:

My cfg:
[joystick]
joysticktype=fcs
timed=false
autofire=false
swap34=false
buttonwrap=true

mapper cfg:
jbutton_0_0 "stick_0 button 0"
jbutton_0_1 "stick_0 button 1"
jaxis_0_1- "stick_0 hat 0 1"
jaxis_0_1+ "stick_0 hat 0 4"
jaxis_0_0- "stick_0 hat 0 8"
jaxis_0_0+ "stick_0 hat 0 2"
jbutton_0_2 "stick_0 button 2"
jbutton_0_3 "stick_0 button 3"

I hope this wasn't asked before... yesterday I wanted to use dosbox ece on my main setup. As soon as I switched to fullscreen with alt+enter I got a black screen... Switching back to window results in a staying black window. Nothing hangs but the dosbox screen will not show after alt+enter is used. When starting with fullscreen=true everything is visible - but same problem as soon as I use alt+enter.

I have a two monitor setup (1: 2560x1440 2: 1920x1080)
GPU: GTX 1050 ti
System: Windows 10

In config file I set:
output to OpenGL
fullresolution to Desktop
aspect to true
scaler to none
Glshader to sharp

How can I switch between full and window without this black screen problem?

I am running DOSBox ece for a while now and it runs absolutely fine on my XP setup. But never tested glide... So I can't tell about this. But everything else works as it should.

Fullscreen works fine here on Windows 10 + NVidia 462.56 + GTX 1070 8GB + i7-8750h + 32GB RAM @2666.

I will have a lock tonight ... Thx

Guys, i wanna try Pixel Perfect thing on my laptop but i don't get where i can enable it and how to work with it. No readme on DOSBox ECE was found. What should i do? I've got win xp with geforce fx and laptop screen 1600x1200. For example i wanna see doom in pixel perfect mode.

I was expecting some line in config like pixelpefcect = true / false. Why can't it that easy? 😀

Hi... This works perfectly for my XP setup:
Set output to OpenGL
Set fullresolution to Desktop
Set scaler to none
Set aspect to true
Set glshader to sharp

I also have a 1600x1200 LCD

Unfortunately nothing changes... Still the black screen/window problem.. 😐 fumbling around with output methods results that it looks like an OpenGL problem. It does not occur with overlay or ddraw. So what's the problem? I really would like to use OpenGL...

Thanks, it really became sharper, though it's not that dramatically different. And I'm now I question myself, do i really need it? Cause these games were played on CRT and CRT added its own smoothness to the image. So this pixel-perfect stuff is less close to original image that we have back then.

Do as you wish... 😬... That's so great with this hobby. You CAN but you don't have to.

Use this https://github.com/tyrells/dosbox-svn-shaders
pixellate shader - for fullscreen (with slight blur)
pixel_perfect - integer scaler with black bars.
