Hi P4R4D0X and Jorpho, Thank you both very much for your replies. This is the first opportunity I've had to come back here (live is extremely busy with six children :happy: ). You have given me a lot to go on with. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to do any more for a couple of days. P4R4D0X , …

Thank you for your suggestions. I've not been able to get the Linux version from http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ to work either. If you give us more details about what happens when you try to run it, it may be possible to suggest a course of action. Hi Jorpho, It is really kind of you to offer you help. …

I suspect you do not yet know the true depths of agony and confusion to which this experience will drive you. Anyway, the wiki does indeed have some instructions on building the svn: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/BuildingDOSBox But isn't there already a compiled version of the SVN Daum build available …

Hi P4R4D0X, Thank you so much once again for your detailed reply. I appreciate the time you have taken to do so. It is minimal what I'm trying to do with DOSBox. Works fine with Windows, but was hoping to change over to Linux. I'll play around a bit more, but haven't had a chance to try it out again …

Hi P4R4D0X, thank you so much for you reply. It explains my problem, as I am using the SVN Build (and I do not know how to compile). Have found the SVN Build works better for us as I use DOSBox mainly for serial transfers and it is important to have the correct date and time as well (we use it in a …

I'm wondering if anyone has a step by step guide or cheatsheet that someone like me who know absolutely nothing about Linux would be able to use to install DOSBox onto Linux ubuntu 12.04.3 (as it is driving me absolutely nuts trying to work it out myself). If someone has something like this, it …

Thanks for your quick reply. I fluked upon this thread, Dos application for mining pit monitoring system -- URGENT --, which gave me the answer I was looking for. I've now installed, DOSBox_Megabuild5-win32-installer.exe and it seems to be working great at this stage. Cheers Chris

Looking for help again with a Date and Time issue since I installed DOSBox 0.74 We now have a problem where the date does not change to the next day at/ after midnight and the time simply keeps adding on/ up. Eg. at 2:30am it wll show 26:30pm and the day does not change. Running DOSBox on Win XP Pro …

Hi h-a-l-9000 You are a wonderful person :happy: Yes, I was using the date /s command. As soon as I removed that command, the serial comms (serial1) worked again (thank you) :happy: FYI, this is my serial config: serial1=directserial realport:COM1 rxdelay: 10 txdelay: 10 Are my delays too long? It …

Hi h-a-l-9000 I downloaded your lasted version from the above link (dosbox_serial14.exe), but unfortunately the serial comms (serial1) also doesn't work with this version. Once again, when I switch back to the version dated 20 March 08, then the serial comms works fine again. Sorry to be the bearer …

Hi h-a-l-9000 I've downloaded and installed the your lasted version of dosbox.exe (04/30/2008) and all the dlls again. The date seems to be working great now (thank you very much), but now with that version of the 'exe' file, the serial comms (serial1) no longer works. It loads, but won’t …

Sounds good. Cheers, Chris

Hi h-a-l-9000 Another quick update for you. You've probably worked this out already, but it is every leap year that this date issue happens... all other years appear to work fine. Is this something that you maybe able to correct on you next update :happy: , or is it something we simply need to live …

Hi h-a-l-9000 A quick update for you. I have now tested the first 7 months of the year for changing over to the following month. I didn't bother going any further as there became a very clear patten. Results: Jan 31st changed to Feb 3rd Feb 29th changed to Mar 1st Mar 31st changed to Apr 3rd Apr …

Hopefully this can get to h-a-l-9000. I've used your dosbox.exe file and dll's from your website (http://home.arcor.de/h-a-l-9000/dbdl.html). It appeared as though the date and time was working well until the end of the month. The date changed from the 31st March 2008 to the 3rd April 2008 on the …

Thank you for the info DosFreak. Looks good (now has date and time commands). Regards Chris

Hi. I'm new here. I found this topic as I have the same problem with the Time & Date not changing at midnight and this is critical for the log that is being created from our app. Has anyone found an answer to this problem outside of restarting DOSBox every morning? I have no programming experience, …
