Re: ZMBV Codec Bug
Posted on 2006-05-16, 02:21
I've tried to make it work in Windows x64 without any luck... could someone post more specific details on how to get it going working please? 😜 Thanks. 😁
Super2xSaI, 2xSaI and SuperEagle
Posted on 2006-05-16, 00:45
I've implemented the SuperEagle, Super2xSaI and 2xSaI scalers. Is anyone interested in those? I think Super2xSaI looks better than even Hq2x in some games. If anyone's interested I'll build a patch.

Hey, how did you manage to get ZMBV running under Windows x64!! ?
Re: SourceForge CVS back online

Yep, it's been online at least since yesterday (the 12th @morning CST) I got the code really fast then. Great we have SourceForge back online 😀
Re: Getting physfs to work
Posted on 2006-05-13, 01:06
I wanted to start using physfs the other day, and it wasn't working... exact same symptoms you all describe here... so, I dug into it a little and I found a bug in the physfs patch which rendered it useless in windows: file: src/dos/drive_physfs.cpp line: ~74 content: if (strlen(basedir) > strlen( …
Re: New features/fixes suggested! (floppy imgmount and more)
Posted on 2006-05-11, 16:23
Qbix: I'll try to think of something for mount/imgmount, I'm sure it's possible to have a nice solution. About umount, true... I agree umount is a unix word, but what about "unmount" I've seen tons of questions about an "unmount" which is obviously and intuitively the opposite of mount. I feel it's …
Re: New features/fixes suggested! (floppy imgmount and more)
Posted on 2006-05-11, 04:55
I also have some suggestions: 1) I think imgmount should not exist, mount should do it all... it sounds more logical and consistent, not to mention easier for newbies... it would also work nicely once the physfs (for mounting zip files) is accepted as official. I'd put real consideration and serious …
Re: Hq2x under DOSBox 0.65

The current anonymous CVS seems not to be updated (you can find the reasons in some other threads), so it would be a good idea to download http://pcnwstage.phys.rug.nl/dosboxcvs.tgz ...the link gives an empty tgz file :( ... what did you say it's wrong with the cvs? true, I haven't been able to …
Re: Hq2x under DOSBox 0.65

I found that there's a typo in your patch. in dosbox.cpp : interp2x -> should be advinterp3x hmm.. that must have been there from the cvs I got, I don't recall changing that... Good thing the patch seems to be working 😀
Hq2x under DOSBox 0.65
Posted on 2006-05-10, 02:43
Okay, I've been checking the source code as it ended with the scalers optimizations Harekiet put in the code. I'm glad he used some of my ideas to make DOSBox a lot faster, and I gladly found that though some optimizations I had thought are not there, most of what I suggested is; even when some of …

I haven't had the time to check the new cvs version with the functionality of my patch implemented, but I'll check it as soon as I get home by the 22nd (I'm on vacations and out of town). I'm very interested in testing it 😀

Perhaps an "A:\>_" would be better... I remember DOS was all about A: in the beginning 😜

gcc (which mingw uses) does that, too. And probably better than most others, rapidly getting better. They're already quite competitive to the intel compiler. Yep, but what I meant is that it's a new feature for Visual Studio ;) plus gcc in mingw doesn't yet have x86-64 support, and that's one issue …

I'm going to be out for the holidays, so I probably won't be able to respond any posts till January. But if you find any bugs, etc. in the patch, please post them anyway, I'll read them when I’m back 😀 ...and hey, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you !!
Re: Graphics performance boost
Posted on 2005-12-20, 18:28
Thought though.. Does the comparing each line of screen data to see if it has changed, add a bit of extra cpu usage on the host side? Just thinking that if it does, older machines might suffer if they are already devoting a lot of CPU to the game itself. Perhaps a full toggle is need to use old\new …

Posted on 2005-12-19, 16:45
Okay, I suppose the patch is now working "perfectly" as I haven't heard anything about it from anyone since last week, so I'm ready to label RTM version the RC7, unless someone has found anything that still needs to be fixed 😀
Re: Visual Studio .NET 2005 beta2

In my patched builds, I built the CRT statically under VS8, why not have it that way in the default build configurations? In fact I built everything statically, which could probably be the best approach for most users (as only one file would be needed, and that binary file would be smaller than the …

Using eobet’s logo proposal, I'd suggest something on this tune, what do you think? Edit: I must say, that I also really like eobet's original (it's clean and simple)
Re: DOSBox Icon
Posted on 2005-12-16, 14:11
I looked through this thread quickly and also liked the cross idea with the words. I also remembered that the original Microsoft DOS icon had some intersting colors, to make it seem more user friendly, I think. However, I can't do any 3D, which is rather popular these days, so here's a very quick …
Re: 40 Column Text Mode Issues

1. I've found two regressions - when machine=vga, and you're booting Serenia/Ulysses or AGI booters, or using the -cga or -rgb switches with DOS AGI games, the text will be corrupt. In previous CVS builds the text was fine. Here are two screenshots: That's right I've also noticed this "messed text" …
