Re: ` Master of Magic `

MOM version 1.3.1 (the latest) works fine on DosBox 0.65. Are you using a version of D-Fend intended for an older version of DosBox? Setup I use for MOM (Port/IRQ/DRQ(DMA) to match default dosbox settings): SB Pro later/Port 220 for music SB Pro later/Port 220/IRQ 7/DRQ 1 for sfx Dynamic core works …

Re: How do I automate the process

Posted on 2006-07-28, 06:00

There's a few of ways of doing it. In all cases, make a shortcut to dosbox.exe and then bring up the shortcut properties. 1. Add on the end of the shortcut target (dosbox will automatically mount the folder as C: and run the program) 2. Make a copy of dosbox.conf and edit the [autoexec] section in …

It sounds like this is a DOS game but with a windows installer (might have a DOS installer too), so there "shouldn't" be a problem with installing the game from windows and running it from dosbox, as long as the CD drive is mounted in dosbox as well (with the same letter). Still, if there is a DOS …

Re: The Incredible Machine - dfend

The MIDI section of dosbox.conf was changed at some point between 0.62 and 0.65. Specifically: mpu401=true intelligent=true became just mpu401=intelligent and mpu401=true is an invalid option Because of dosbox.conf changes, it's a bad idea to use a frontend intended for an older version. If D-Fend …

Well, some of us are against abandonware. More of us are against downloading of games that aren't even truly abandoned. And officially, we don't support any kind of software piracy here at VOGONS. However, if a piece of software runs fine under real DOS but has issues under Dosbox, regardless of the …

Re: Modifying config.com

Yeah, the two are not related. In normal usage DosBox does not need or use a config.sys. Also, when a game says it doesn't have enough memory, sometimes it's actually because it's got too much and it's getting confused. That's where loadfix comes in (it uses up some of the memory before the game …

Re: Choppy on most games

Best setting varies from game to game. Auto is meant to take the guesswork out, but it may not be optimal - I prefer to just set it manually and increase it gradually with Ctrl F12 until the game is as smooth as possible. Setting frameskip to 1 can also be good, especially for 3D games. I think …

Re: File access error with dosbox

Posted on 2006-06-08, 08:42

First of all, most DOS programs assume A: and B: are floppy drives, as they are in real DOS. I'm not sure, but also maybe DosBox treats them as floppy drives and it may default to write-protected mode. If the program you're running expects to be run from a hard disc folder, mount as C instead. The …

Re: I need some help!

Hmm. Weird symptoms there, but a lot of people do experience problems with Dosbox and LCD monitors. The usual advice for fullscreen problems is to try different output modes, and/or changing the fullscreen resolution to something specific, in dosbox.conf. Example, change it to output=ddraw, or …

Re: Running Amiga Superfrog on Windows XP

Yes, very confusing. DosBox is for running DOS games (i.e. older PC games that ran under DOS instead of Windows). There might be an Amiga version of DosBox - I don't know - but it still has nothing to do with running Amiga games. You want the windows versions of UAE or Fellow for that. (WinUAE, …
