I believe libpng is required (someone do correct me if I'm wrong...), and you're likely already set to go, since I would imagine it being a dependancy for some other program you've already emerged. Personally, when I do screen captures, I just use 'import' which is part of the imagemagick package.

Under linux, most CD playing programs should play the audio tracks off your CD (I personally use gnome-cd myself for mixed-mode CDs) If you're really at a loss for how to test it, I personally recommend the CDfs kernel module. http://www.elis.rug.ac.be/~ronsse/cdfs/ When you mount a CD using this …

I'm in complete agreement with moe here... Considering that the newest PC I own is a PIII/600, still. :) Master of Magic runs great here. :) As does Master of Orion. Heck, even Wing Commander: Privateer runs decently. My old copies of Wing Commander III and IV have long since gone AWOL. I've even …

My experience has also shown, if you do not wish to jump through the hoops of upgrading the AUDBLAST.DRV... To choose 'Thunderboard' in the sound setup of the installation. That works just fine with DosBox.

I agree Alkarion... It always sounded to me like the guy doing the voice for the main character just could not for the life of him keep a straight face while reading his lines. It's too bad that they couldn't get the guy who did the intro from the original speech pack back for the CD version. The CD …

That rather sounds like a problem with Armada, considering the fact that it is Armada, and not Dos Box that is sending that error to you.

I've seen this error pretty often on programs with slightly silly memory handling that do not expect Dos Box to be providing so much free conventional memory. You could try loadfixing away some of the memory, and seeing if that fixes the issue.

USB Joysticks are most certainly supported in Dos Box. In fact, the Dos Box developpers recommend a USB Game Controller for Dos Box over a Gameport based one.

That resource not found error sounds suspiciously like the one encountered with Space Quest 6. I detailed a way to get around that issue in another thread for SQ6. Give it a whirl with LSL7.

The point is that the answer to your question is very clearly stated in the README file. There is a standing policy from Mirek that anything that is a commonly answered FAQ, and is around in easily obtainable documentation will have its thread closed, no question. Check out the README again.

I've been playing around with the ALSA driver, which I pulled out of CVS. I'm noticing, that as with Tristan/Canadacow's version, there's no way to control the samplerate at which this thing plays. Kingguppy, have you thought of making that an option? It's almost useable on my PIII/600 as it is, but …

Specifically, the "Breakthrough for A Final Unity" sticky thread is the one that discusses DOS32/A. If you can't get it to work, DOS4GW games are often more stable under the 'normal' core rather than the 'dynamic' core. If you get it running with DOS32/A, the likelihood that you'll be able to run it …

The last time I ran KQ5 (Back during Dos Box 0.60) it was much better to select Thunderboard sound, instead of Sound Blaster in the game's install. I do not know if that is still the case, but it is something to note, if you have trouble with the sound in the game.

It's also worth it to note that, unless you replace the DOS4GW stub in game.dat/game.new (depending on whether or not you have the lastest version of the game) with the DOS32/A stub, C&C will only run under the normal core. Further details are in the Breakthrough with A Final Unity thread.

Going back to the resource 999.pal issue, I think I figured that one out too. It appears that in DOS Box internal Batch programming language there are a few case sensitivity issues.

dougdahl: Hmmm... On a lark, try allocating some memory out to the ether with 'loadfix' before running the game?

Make sure the CD is mounted (mount d d:\ -t cdrom -aspi) That should hopefully clear up that issue. (I'm only assuming that it's not mounted 'cause you haven't mentioned it previously, and this sounds like it's not finding the CD)
