Lands of lore: Throne of Chaos very low volume when starting the game?
Posted on 2022-07-19, 12:18
Strange issue with Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos (V E1.23 in the bottom-right of main menu)... when I launch the game my audio settings go from: Channel Main Main(dB) MASTER 100:100 +0.00:+0.00 DISNEY 100:100 +0.00:+0.00 SPKR 10:10 -20.00:-20.00 GUS 100:100 +0.00:+0.00 SB 100:100 -20.00:-20.00 FM …

I have C:\DOS\MORE.COM in my path, but doesn't work to pause the page as the "fake" internal COMMAND.COM of DOSBox doesn't seem to support it. If I run COMMAND.COM from MSDOS6.22 copied to DOSBox drive (actually a Win dir mounted as a drive) I can use the " | more" trick of course.... Use the …

After some research I've found that Less177e.zip from https://www.mmnt.net/db/0/1/ftp.cc.umanitoba.ca/software/pc_migrate/ seems to work fine (press 'q' to quit text view, and you can also move up/down with PgUP/Down, Home/End) Other good source of old programs for 16-bit: https://www.bttr-software. …
Type command with pause?
Posted on 2022-07-18, 18:34
DOSBox has an internal Type command, to display for example a HELP.TXT ASCII file contents... My problem is "Type HELP.TXT | more" doesn't work and won't pause the page as expected. This Type version does not have a /P option built-in, so... how can I do if I need to read (with page pause!) a simple …

Having what is probably the same joystick issue that was just mentioned - the POV hat isn't recognized by the keymapper if joysticktype is set to fcs . Setting it to auto works fine, it's just FCS mode that's broken. Basically it's currently the opposite of how it is in vanilla DOSBox. You got it! …

UPDATE: I just saw you already posted the output of the status windows. And it's just as I thought: The stick reports more axis than it really has: The joystick is still detected: "Using joystick Controller (Fighting Stick mini 4 kai) with 5 axes, 10 buttons and 1 hat." as it did with r4288 but now …

Yep, works fine with 90% of games (for the other 10% is because some games REQUIRE LSTICK and don't support DPAD/POV-HAT). Have no idea what those people are talking about, It's just a generic XInput DPAD for directions + buttons. I also have a Speedlink SL-650212-BKRD COMPETITION PRO EXTRA - …

Yes it is but is poorly documented, and most users ignore it :( It's actually able to make many old games work on Windows 10/11 without DX7/8 wrappers or unofficial shady patches, and can fix non-working games in DX9 on modern PC. I've written some guides on Steam to fix also relatively old games …
