well, just any old lucas arts game should do. :) by the way, if someone here speaks german, check out "die drei ??? und das gruene tentakel" (the three investigators and the green tentacle). it mixes game scenes from maniac mansion with clips from the "drei ???" audioplays, which are very popular in …

i believe it's not easy to implement. microsoft didn't even manage to read "umlauts" correctly in windows 3.11 on a dos that shows them correctly.

i'll second that. suse is fine as long as everything runs smoothly, but once you run into trouble, it's can get messy. maybe it got better, but manual editing of config files and usage of yast can cause problems. instead of a slack-distro you might as well have a look at arch linux ( http:// …

i use an adapter from ems to connect 2 ps2-pads to my linux box. works perfectly without special drivers. the only problem is, that both gamepads are recognized as one large gamepad with lots of buttons and axes, but that's no problem if a program let's you configure the input devices.

well, the link i posted pointed to a 0.65 rpm for opensuse, but it's suddenly gone... strange... but according to novell they really still include 0.63 in suse 10.1 (http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/ … nux/dosbox.html)

have you tried to search for dosbox with the package manager (you?) in yast? a search on rpmfind.net brought me to this rpm (http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/factor … .65-3.i586.html), which looks like it's part of opensuse 10.1.1.

maybe a link to the specific game on mobygames could be added to the games database. just like many movie pages offer links to imdb.

ok, after i read your other thread http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=12357 the problem becomes clearer. back in these days many games had there soundtrack as audiotracks, since they could be played dirctly by the cd-drive, thus wasting almost no cpu time, as they were passed from the cd to the …

maybe you could implement different vgas one day. something like vga-normal and vga-full, which would implement everything possible. the speed decrease will most likely be irrelevant in a few yours. but i understand that this also most unlikely before, let's guess, dosbox 0.92. :)

if you didn't touch the [sblaster] section of your configfile you should be hearing an opl-3. the default is set to an sb16 which used an opl-3.

i tried to locate a .04 version, but i just found an english .01 and a french .05. both work fine with normal and dynamic core. at least the 20 minutes i tested them. do you use a cracked version without copy protection? maybe it's badly cracked.

you asked for it :) i think a quite obvious feature would be to let the user select the machine-type (vga,herc,...). and it would be nice to be able to define a specific dosbox-executable per game if you have several versions for different games.
