Is there by any chance a way to ECHO or TYPE the BEL symbol at the command prompt from a batch or text file? There are a few other control codes as well (8-10, 13, 27) that I've thus far been unable to work out a way to display the associated ASCII character/glyph in DOSBox (0.74) - presumably …

As a hardcore (read: purist) U7 fan, thanks kindly for this...very cool.

And i want to see the game that relies on CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK. The only way to exit Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken is by pressing Ctrl-C, short of force closing DOSBox, that is.

I had this problem when I switched output from ddraw to openglnb ... now that I switched it back to ddraw, the audio stopped stuttering. Only problem is in windowed mode, ddraw is sort of blurry. Sucks. Wow - this fixed the issue! I had my output set to surface (no problems in the past up to this …

@Speon, if you are wondering what we are talking about, check out http://exult.sf.net I'm the documentation slave for that project :) Oh thanks, I'm well familliar with Exult. :) I love the work you all have done over the years (I'm particularly excited about the Pocket PC port). That said, when it …

It might be a speed thing, especially since you don't have the problem with SI (SI had a "speed" regulator - for lack of the correct word - so it would not run too fast on modern computers). Alas, I know. :/ If only OSI hadn't lost the source code to Ultima VII. I bet they would have retroactively …

Do you have double buffering enabled? I just noticed when I tried it even my music was skipping for some reason. Turning it off solved it. May or may not be related. Well, I'm playing in windowed (normal3x) mode typically and double buffering was already disabled. Enabling it didn't seem to …

You say at "any" cycle setting it does this? Even at say - 20000 or 30000? Thats too fast to be playable, but does it skip? Yes there's still skipping at high cycles, although less so than at game playable cycle settings. It's quite odd...I find the reduced skipping at very low cycles settings to …

It might be a speed thing, especially since you don't have the problem with SI (SI had a "speed" regulator - for lack of the correct word - so it would not run too fast on modern computers). I would agree, yet the speech/speed worked perfectly up until 0.72 specifically. I've upgraded my video card …

I just tried the game out with both SB and SBPro modes for music and SFX - both skipping equally as before. The music plays back correctly in both these modes with maybe a couple of milliseconds here and there of popping (I don't recall any in previous DOSBox versions however), but several sound …

Changing the priority didn't seem to help...I had also noticed it skipping while the process was in the background earlier (normal being the second setting currently). I'm far from an expert, but it sounds similar to an interrupt conflict, though the behavior of the skipping changes with extreme …

To clarify, I didn't have any of these troubles with U7 and versions 0.71 and lower - as best as I can tell, my settings are the same as they've ever been. The Guardian's intro speech skips and hitches in U7, at nearly any cycle speed and with any cpu core and sound card IRQ setting. The rest of the …

I'm encountering some oddities regarding a joystick in DOSBox and was wondering if anyone could confirm them... By default, my config file is set as JOYSTICKTYPE=AUTO, and all the games I have installed are fine with this setting, and recognize the device OK. However, if I manually change this …

Is it possible to switch MIDI devices inside of DOSBox? As in switching from device 0 to 2 and back, through the command prompt? I'm using a large batch file to automatically configure and launch many different games and I'd like to set some games to use General MIDI, (SB Synth A) and others to use …

I too am curious about this. Is it possible to change the text and background color within DOSBox? It seems that the COLOR command isn't supported.
