Suppose I were to take the regular DOSBox source and add a feature, say 3D on the fly conversion for DOS games. Ignore for the moment how I am supposed to do that, but I do it and it works. I think I should get paid for this feature, so I will charge anyone who wants to download my build $1.00 USD. …

I just checked dosbox on Google play store. aDosbox is free and the source is available. DosBox Turbo is at $49 (Canadian fund). It's very expensive for covering the costs of distributing copies. I think he makes profits for it. By the way, how to know if someone charges prices for covering Dosbox …

SENSOR ALERT: this thread would be locked. (Robocop) : ) Seriously, they won't release a new version just to add one or two new features. They will release when they feel it's the right time to release a new version.

While I agree but now Amstrad mode and PS1 audio are now supported, why not release a new dosbox who supports them? I got confuse with those SVNs. Which SVN is the last version?

I just read this thread: Conquest (1983) - Illegal Unhandled Interrupt Dosbox 0.75 is mentioned. I checked on the dosbox website. The last version is still 0.74. Is Dosbox 0.75 available or is it a mistake typo?

tandy=on_notandyvideo That would be better if you keep tandy=on but machine option is something else than tandy. Make it simplier. tandy=auto is used when machine=tandy.

Both disks are for PCs only. So other machines might not work. Please start a new thread if you have problem with King's Quest 3. This thread is about shakescreen on CGA/Tandy/PCjr modes.

I noted some difference between AGI and SCI shakescreens on the PCjr. With AGI, the screen shakes but it stays in the center of the screen. With SCI, the screen shifts to left when the shakescreeen occurs and stayed to left. I need to adjust the monitor to center the screen manualy. Don't forget the …

With Ykhwong's build, I don't need to write LOADFIX each time I run dosbox. I know, LOADFIX is available in all dosbox buids.

It means I'll use LOADFIX if I want to set dosbox to 128k or lower. I'll use Ykhwong's build if i set dosbox to 256k or more. I don't need LOADFIX for this build.

Ho. You mean: # Lines in this section will be run at startup. # You can put your MOUNT lines here. set path=c:\;c:\qb\;c:\qbx\;c:\debug;z:\; keyb cf I could put LOADFIX there as well. Yeah. I know that too.

I agree. but with Ykhwong's build, I don't need to type LOADFIX over and over unless it's under 256k.

Do you mean this version: http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ It works fine. Dosbox craches if memsizekb is 128 or lower.

It's just a suggestion but ... How about to adjust main memory under dosbox. In Robocop on 512k, you won't see a guy using the big gun. Unstead, Robocop finds this weapon when opening on the box. Other games might work differently if not played on 640k.

Can you provide the names of some of those qbasic games? I several years ago I was really poking around with EGA trying to get access to the palette in low res modes. Mini RPG 2 http://www.petesqbsite.com/reviews/rpgs/minirpg2.html Mini RPG 3 http://www.petesqbsite.com/reviews/rpgs/minirpg3.html …

Joey_sw wrote: for 350 lines mode, was EGA support between-scanline palette changes like color-0 changes in mode-4 CGA ? No. You use PALETTE to specify a new colour. 16 colours are displayed at the same time of 64 colours. It's better than using the same tricks on CGA.
