Possible DOSBox autoexec bug...

Posted on 2008-06-12, 17:49

I've been working on a front-end that will mount a specified directory as C: in DOSBox, and run games from that directory. This part works flawlessly, and DOSBox 0.72 does an excellent job emulating the CPU and soundcards, but there is one minor problem that I am running into that is stumping me. …

Re: DOSBox and Frontends

I've been building oen to make things easier while maintaining control of every feature of DOSBox. A lot of newbies won't understand going through a configuration file and changing things for every game they play. That takes time and effort, and it's a lot easier for them to use the frontends out …

I am almost finished with my DOSBox frontend and wanted to post features and ask for community input so I can add, remove, or modify features prior to releasing it. With that said, here is the current list of features that are implemented or are almost implemented. All of these will be implemented …

KQ6 and 7 work fine, you need to runt heir setup programs and enter the soundcard info for the card you are using. I normally run an SB16 soundcard with the settings my real 486SX has for its SB16 card. If you're using the GUS or Roland, you'll have to see what settings they use and choose those in …

I just wanted to give a heads up to everybody that version 2.0 of my DOSBox front-end is about half finished. I have the UI a hair from completion and have added a ton of new features to 2.0 that 1.0 did not have, including support for choosing ISO images to mount instead of or in conjunction with …

Yeah I was searching for Battlespire tweaks to increase performance and did not notice the date until I posted. The search option apparently goes all the way back to the forum beginning!

Re: Windows 3.1X on Dosbox

Posted on 2007-04-06, 02:43

I have Win3.11 running perfectly with 0.70 using my original SB16 drivers right off the old floppies. Also, the SB16 came preset at IRQ5, and the pros came at IRQ7. I have several of each card, some still in the box, and checked to make sure. The SB16 was also not PnP, but the later versions (mainly …

Re: DOSBox CDROM difficulties...

Posted on 2007-03-17, 01:22

Well, I don't plan on filling my drive with 600MB images to play my old games, and since this is the only problem I have had with DOSBox, I'll just do without Mech2 and Blood until DOSBox has better CDROM support. I tried other emulators prior to DOSBox and they were by far MUCH worse, containing …

Re: DOSBox CDROM difficulties...

Posted on 2007-03-15, 17:21

The problem isn't running it, it's the CDROM support. As I said in my prior post, running the game is flawless, but that's with MIDI music, which wasn't that great in Blood. The CD audio is MUCH better and when the game attempts to play audio in Blood, it ejects the CD and DOSBox itself dies, …

DOSBox CDROM difficulties...

Posted on 2007-03-15, 16:44

I have noticed that several games do not function properly with the current (v0.70) version of the emulated CDROM. I also note that the CDROM does not spin up when you search it, which may be part of the problem. If the directory structure is cached or something and it never gets spun up, games that …

486 Launcher 1.0.1.13...

Posted on 2007-03-14, 22:53

As promised, I have been working on this project and have added CDROM support and adjusted a few games. This has also been tested on XP Pro x64, but not on Vista as I am VERY much against Vista. You configure your emulated CDROM on the options menu. Several bugs have been fixed as well, and I added …

Re: New DOSBox launching application...

Posted on 2007-03-12, 01:04

I just found a HUGE bug that I over-looked before releasing the program. With all of the new features added in the current release, I forogt to modify the game removal function, and if you remove a game from the list, all games appearing after the removed game will contain invalid settings. I have …

Re: New DOSBox launching application...

Posted on 2007-03-05, 23:22

Thanks. If you find any bugs, no matter how minor, let me know. At this point I have it coded so that you cannot do anything to cause problems that I can think of, including INI checking when launching a game, so you cannot edit in some unsupported option and launch, causing DOSBox to crash. As for …

New DOSBox launching application...

Posted on 2007-03-05, 18:37

I have recently released a frontend for DOSBox which fully supports 0.70. It even includes multiplayer setup for all three types of connections (IPX, Modem, Null-modem) and makes things very simple for the inexperienced user. It's a point-and-click GUI for Win32 and it stores all of it's settings in …
