Re: dro / adplug / adlib ripping project

as the author of the LAA/MID/SCI plug-in for adplug, I'll make some commentary: 1. it's pretty scary looking code. I wrote it (the MID/LAA/SCI plug-in) 4 or 5 years ago, and now likely couldn't do anything to fix the stuff that is wrong with it. 2. the LAA playback actually uses OPL2 patches that …

Re: Getting started with development...

As far as I can see how you are using SDL is fine :) However, I went onto the bug tracker and saw one that looked pretty doable and looked into it -- [ 827575 ] Long command line crashes DOSBox. I was able to track down a few of the buffer overflows in shell/shell_misc.cpp ... I could try to find …

Re: Getting started with development...

I've played Stargunner again a few times. A few things to note: Only the first game saved really gets saved. After that, save games don't save anymore. (Try saving a few different games. And then quit dosbox, play again. If you save games after that, those games won't be saved. You might be able to …

Re: Getting started with development...

Thanks :) Anyway, looks like figuring out bugs in games might not be my cup of tea. However, I've got a good deal of C / SDL experience. I'd still like to help out. Are there any features on your TODO list that I could try to tackle? (If possible, please order them from easiest to hardest so I could …

Re: Getting started with development...

qbix, I gave it a few more shots, but (with my weak assembly knowledge) I'm pretty stumped. After the first INT 21 (delete the savegame file), it does a few calls and jumps and stuff. Eventually it does a second INT 21 (opens "error.log"), after which things get wrapped up and the game quits. "error …

Re: Getting started with development...

Qbix, Thanks for the help. I played with things for about 3 hours but was unable to figure out exactly what was going on. Here's a summary of what happened (when using bpint 21 *, and then trying to save a game) - Int 21, ah=41 (Unlink file) - Returns ax=2, (file is missing) ... (does some shifts, …

Getting started with development...

I would like to help with some of the dosbox development. I've done a fair amount of C coding, including several DOS games a long time ago. I also have some _very_ minimal assembly experience. There are two specific games I want to be able to play without trouble under dosbox: 1. Star Gunner - At …
