Hi there,
My problem is that when i try to run my app i've got inforamtion that my system supports max 20 files opened.
I need to set variable "files=55" in config.sys
As far as i can see dosbox doesn't support setting this variable anywhere, only autoexec.bat is available in dosbox.conf.
My question is: how i'm able to run my app without config.sys?
Thank all for any reply.
First of all: post system specs, dosbox version, installation information etc.
OS: Windows XP SP3
OS: Windows Vista SP1
Processor: Pentium D 805
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-8I945-PG
RAM: 1GB
DOSBOX version 0.73
DosBox config - standard changed only output and megs, just mounted my app folder as drive and trying to run.
Actually i want to run it under Vista, because under XP it runs natively under command line.
dosbox provides more than 100 file handles, so the application's detection
does not work. You can try to create a dummy config.sys on the root of
your emulated c-drive and put some files= statement there.
it doesn't work even with dummy config.sys file, app says that only 20 files can be opened ;(
I wouldn't know where such a limit could be enforced.
newer mind, i've got it to work, the application after install is modifying 2 files:
config.sys - adds FILES=55 section
autoexec.bat - adds SET CLIPPER=F45;E0 section
When i run application the SET CLIPPER=F45;E0 section wasn't in dosbox-0.73.conf in [autoexec], but only on autoexec.bat in file on hard disk.
I just added this section to dosbox-0.73.conf and now everything is working, application just wrong displays that maximum opened files is set to 20 because didn't saw SET CLIPPER=F45;E0.
btw i'm wonderin if there is possible to "stretch" in fullscreen, because there are 2 black borders on top and bottom of my app (in fulscreen mode). I've tried all combinaton of output= machine= scaler= and so on and all i get is this 2 bars - 1 on top, 1 on bottom or just 1 doubled bar on top or bottom.
Thank you all for your support and author(s) for great app (dosbox).
Thanks again.
