Re: Joystick help and possibly changing a value in a DOSBOX GOG.com game
Posted on 2011-10-26, 23:07
The mapper should allow you to assign , and . as left and right (based on one axis, whichever you choose). You can set Cycles=5000 or any fixed number, it just helps to have it as a specific number instead of auto, which will attempt to scale and may change timing confusing the DOS joystick reading …
Re: Joystick help and possibly changing a value in a DOSBOX GOG.com game
Posted on 2011-10-25, 21:22
The first thing to determine is whether your joystick is jumpy in Windows or not. The only thing Dosbox can do is go by what Windows tells it; thus if you have problems in Windows, you will have those same problems in Dosbox. So hit up the game controllers configuration (Start menu, type in " …
Re: how do I delete my dosbox account?
Posted on 2011-10-02, 01:32
Yes, because out of the many thousands of games that work fine with Dosbox, you managed to pick the handful that don't work properly. That makes much more sense than you configured them incorrectly. If you need help, ask decent questions after you have read the manual and the applicable guides, and …
Re: Command HQ Windows 7, x64 not compatible

I'm one of the the few Command HQ players left on the planet. A few of the other players have upgraded to Windows 7 and seem to have problems with dos box running Command HQ. Anyone have any suggestions? Not sure if its Dos-Box or something with their setup or something with the game? Hoping …
Re: A Feature request: Non-stretched graphics in custom resolutions
Posted on 2011-04-14, 23:55
Just a request, no demands or anything - just a thought .. as long as DOSBox is allowing custom resolutions and it's allowing fullscreen modes and all sort of scaling/stretching/filtering options, why not include the obvious; "Unprocessed, unfiltered, unstretched, unscaled graphics in any …
Re: Pasting from Window
Posted on 2011-04-11, 21:28
You can technically accomplish simple paste with a product like AutoIt: http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/ However, it won't give you cut capability. There are a huge number of reasons this is a terrible idea for DosBox, but we can start with just one significant one: there was no cut and …

It is possible that SDL "lost" a release keystroke. It has been known to happen in some circumstances. It's consistent with the behavior you describe (the system thinks something like Shift is held down, because for whatever reason SDL missed the event when you stopped holding it from the game). …
Re: More than one core for DOSBOX?
Posted on 2011-03-17, 18:34
Be pretty cool to use Multiple Core's at least isolating video I/O to one core essentially making one core be the video card emulator. Really depends on DosBox's architecture as to how painful it might be to make into a reality and I have not explored much of DOSBox's code at this point in time. …
Re: Can't init SDL No available video device
Posted on 2011-03-16, 07:34
Is there a way to disable the video output? Not reasonably (without writing code). As has been suggested so many many times here, if you have an application that is not a game, and requires DOS mode, there are a variety of exceptional free programs to complete your task (DOSEMU, Bochs, VirtualPC + …
Re: Qemm on the DosBos
Posted on 2011-03-03, 08:01
You could try either QEMU or Bochs, both of which are attempts to fully emulate a processor (not virtualize it). There are some google results of people getting QEMM running under Virtualbox, just not version 7.5.
Re: Qemm on the DosBos
Posted on 2011-03-02, 22:24
There's no game I know of that requires DesqView. If you are trying to run BBS software or something like that which does require it, you'd be much better off using a virtual machine emulator (VMware, VirtualBox, etc). I doubt Dosbox will be the best choice here, because instead of striving to …
Re: Qemm on the DosBos
Posted on 2011-03-02, 20:44
You should have no need to do this that I can think of, unless you have some specific example game that requires it. QEMM filled two primary roles for most DOS users: it provided a DOS advaned memory API (protected mode/ems/xms) and attempted to remap used areas of the DOS stack into the 384K "high …
Re: SOUND FAILURE!!! HELP !!
Posted on 2011-02-17, 01:40
As Dominus suggests, setting the sound in your emulated game doesn't affect the sound in Windows (just how loud Dosbox tries to play it). Even windows XP has a channel test built in, so try that. An example of walking through a sound diagnostic is here : http://www.pcauthorities.com/windows-xp/how- …
Re: General Help with Passing System Variables from Windows to DosBox
Posted on 2010-12-27, 04:47
Now to determine how to invoke DosBox from a DOS script and supress the windows... You can't without source code modifications to DosBox (the easiest would be to bring the window up marked as not visible in a Windows sense). That would seem a minor inconvenience though... -Frob
Re: General Help with Passing System Variables from Windows to DosBox
Posted on 2010-12-26, 18:02
You could use a Windows batch file to construct the DOS batch file on the fly, echo'ing in the contents of the environmental variable. Given the filename in the Windows environmental variable foo, SET echoline=conv-lxn %foo% echo echoline > dosbox.bat Then start Dosbox with a conf file that runs …
Re: Would disassembling help dosbox development?
Posted on 2010-12-26, 17:47
Also, would DOS (although illegal) source code help implement certain aspects of dosbox as well? Many millions of people own completely legal copies of DOS that can be disassembled during execution (they don't even contain a EULA prohibiting that). So there's no need to contemplate breaking a law …

This is a great little patch ykhwong. I just fired up several of the Origin games and I had a great time with the better music.

Re: DosBox Xmas list: menu bar and session support
Posted on 2010-11-26, 21:20
Both would be excellent features. Both are really quite complicated and very detailed work when you take into account the (very) wide portability of DosBox. Specifically, a menuing system requires either a non cumbersome cross platform widget and menu abstraction (because File->Open needs a dialog …

Hi, I wrote a cheat-code system for DOSBox, currently it only works with version 0.74 for win32 and I thought I might as well share it with the forums. The cheat codes are in a gameshark style, and should be interchangeable with future version of DOSShark. Thanks for your contribution! Just a …
