Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

I have been trying to install this program from 0.3.3. where do I get all the dependencies for it?

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

If you have an older version installed, you need to remove it and all the ruby packages you have. Then install the latest from

http://wiki.maemo.org/RubyBox

after that the builtin updater will work again.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Install RubyBox and after that, open xterminal and run as root:

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

I try to find the ruby1.8-maemo and nothing...


I try in the repository in the begin of this topic, but they are out.

When i try to install RubyBox they say miss packages ruby1.8-maemo and unzip...

What can i do?

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

If you haven't already, follow ukki's detailed instructions on the latest RubyBox here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/RubyBox

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Would anyone be so kind as to give an explanation on how to set up Roland MT-32, MT-100, LAPC-I, CM-32L, or CM-64 drivers for music?

I've read the Dosbox Wiki for sound and can't seem to follow the instructions:
Dosbox Sound

I know that with Gravis Ultrasound, you need the driver gus411f.zip from this site and change Rubybox to point at that file:
Gravis Sound Drivers

However, I'm completely lost in regards to Roland.

I nice example would be most lovely! :D

Cheers fellas!

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Why is it that I tried this way to install those same packages but I get errors that these applications are not available. It says that are missing, has been obsoleted, or are only available from another source? I have been trying to install rubybox and all these dependencies just don't want to go away.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Hey, that work. thanks

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

With all pupnik.de links broken and no hope about RubyBox supporting N770 2007HE... Could somebody share this "mapper.txt" with me? Or point me where to find a working one that enables fullscreen toggle.

Please.

There is also many post about optimized dosbox.conf. Could somebody share one of them?

EDIT: About Addison keyboards, I have no "/usr/bin/dosboxkbd" and if I create one with the xkbd command it does not work, I still have the classic layout. Where I can edit the dosbox xkbd command call?

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

RubyBox should be possible on 2007HE. I'd just need to make a custom package for it.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Thanks for the support, ukki.

If someone finds broken links, send me a PM

The DosBOX developers have been working hard these past few days addressing optimisation issues that i requested for the Nokias. This very generous support requires a new release for maemo.

I can not work on games/ports in the near future. So here is a great job opening... Pay is 0 though.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Sorry so late to the party. I was getting the same error message til I found a newer version of RubyBox which installed with no trouble at all and none of this annoying error message. Unfortunately I spent a good day or so chasing my tail on this and stumbled on the newer RubyBox version by accident so I cannot provide a link. Sure wish that older versions would be swept back into Dev areas rather than laying out for noobs like us to pick up but hey whattya gonna do. Major thanks to those who work so hard on these programs, it's a joy to be able to go back and play games like Dune 2 and the King's Quest series again, they blow away anything I have on my DS!:D

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Interesting to be sure. I can't wait to see what develops. :cool:

All good things come to an end, I guess. I do hope you plan to stay around though to offer your invaluable help when you can.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

how do i mount my memory card? (the internal one in the n810)

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

mount D: /media/mmc2

(edit) DosBox 0.73 rc2 is out .... surprised nobody else has built it. its not rocket science, guys...

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Will you provide the source for your patches?

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Either way, I've already ported dosbox 0.73, but couldn't get the N810 FN keys to work. Then I discovered KC (the Key Compiler) which allows me to create custom keyb.exe layouts: all of the N810 spanish keyboard works this way, including ALL FN keys: digits, quotes, etc.; dead keys (save for ^ which I have no use for), and F1-F10 keys (mapped to Chr+1, Chr+2, etc.) .

Unfortunately some programs completely ignore KEYB.EXE layouts (Windows comes to mind).

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

please upload the bin

any useful patches i had are now merged into dosbox cvs

edit: look into the alternate fmopl cores and ARM dynrec for more speed. it may also be now possible to use gcc profiling for more speed (broke on old dosbox/gcc)

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

You asked lcuk to build CVS, while we're both Northerners, I'm not him but thought I'd try anyway :P

latest binary from CVS built in Diablo_ARMEL: http://freefile.kristopherw.us/uploa...y12/dosbox.txt (rename from dosbox.txt to dosbox)

Nothing special done, just a 'CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=armv6j -mtune=arm1136jf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=softfp" ./configure --prefix=/usr' and that's it.

EDIT: if it isn't obvious :), you want the deb below. Javispedro has put out an awesome build!

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

You can check my port, it has the following goodies/quirks:

- The usual hildonization: icon, task navigator, window title, CFLAGS, mouse pointer hidden.
- Stores dosboxrc in ~/apps/DOSBox 0.73 Preferences.txt, and mapper.txt in ~/apps/mapper.txt
- The keymapper gui has been "compacted" so that it fits a Maemo 4 window. Launch with "dosbox -startmapper".
- ARM Dynarec compiled in (enabled by default for protected mode applications).
- An nearly complete rewrite of dosbox builtin keyboard layout. It is now more FreeDOS keyb 2.0 compatible ( original dosbox keyb did not support some keyb2.0 features; freedos keyb does not work either: you can choose between a working, but beta implementation or a non-working finished one). The "keyb" command itself uses a different syntax.

If any of these "features" bothers you I can remove it. Or you can get the source.

Remember to thank the DOSBox Team and ArnimS. They've done all the hard work.

Download: dosbox_0.73-3_armel.deb

Changelog:
0.73-3: fixed some keyb bugs.

I am also distributing a FreeDOS keyboard layout library with support for US & spanish n810 hardware keyboards.

mapper.txt (contains minor modifications to default mapper.txt to map chr, fn & fullscreen keys)
nokia.sys

Use
to load.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

No, this didn't have the dynarec enabled - configure.in doesn't have rules for enabling it on armel devices and I assumed it wasn't available for ARM. Glad to be proved wrong. But, anyway, like I said, this was a straight build and uploads of better binaries would be appriciated. Oh, you did so while I was posting. Thanks.

OMG, this is an awesome build! Thank you!

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

big speedup in prince of persia - now fluid without sound hiccups
doom load time much faster
wing commander a bit faster w/o sound hiccups
test drive 2 noticeably faster

mad props! cycles can now be upped from ~800 to 1100 in some games

edit:
Ultima 5 speaker sound glitches fixed
Ultima 6 almost playable fast now in tandy mode
Ultima underworld loads 50% faster

biggest increase with dynrec seems to be on 386 level cpu-bound games.

tip: add a sdl_disablecursor or whatever to startup

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Please patch it to run Daggerfall properly.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

I was always a big fan of DOS.

Are there extra settings that need to be adjusted to get games to run right?

I've tried

Master of Magic (sloooooow, froze while "building worlds' after character select)

Warcraft 2 (reset n810 during dos4gw load)

//ED: Where in time is carmen sandiego (super slow / choppy)

Tips / suggestions?

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

For Warcraft 2 try Stratagus - runs with decent speed on my N800.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Thanks.

I'm not really all that interested in playing WC2 (beat it like 10 times), I'm just trying to see what I can run in dosbox.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

these games are too new. dosbox on n8x0 is still essentially a 286 @ 12mhz

also forget daggerfall ukki.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

the games you mention there, aren't they for 386? (i know doom is)

///EDIT
i found a torrent with 3000 old dos games in it. hopefully i can run some of them!

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Done: check original post for downloads.

Also added codepages back.

If you have a spanish layout N810 you can download mapper.txt and nokia.sys to get nearly full FN key support in command line and applications/games using DOS' keyboard layout support.
Use
to load it.

As soon as I get my hands on a US.KEY file and a US N810 screenshot I will update nokia.sys with more layouts. I just don't know any other way to get full hardware keyboard support.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Somebody get this man US.KEY and a 810 screenshot, STAT!

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

If this port really speeds things up maybe I'll go back trying running Myst :D

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Not yet. I'm having a hard time finding ANY game that will run at a moderate speed.

I have confidence that it will get better tho :-)

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

http://beans.seartipy.com/wp-content...810_02_web.jpg (EXTRA large image!) matches the layout on my N810, and "hildon-im-xkbtool -g" says:

So I think I can safely assume that that image does show a bonafide US keyboard. I do not know about the US.KEY file, however. Sorry.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Hey ukki.

Any chance you could possibly include this newest release with Rubybox?

This latest version seems to break it.

Thanks. :D

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Probably my fault since I moved dosboxrc around.





New version up; includes US N810 hardware keyboard layout.

To try:
- put mapper.txt in ~/apps/mapper.txt
- put nokia.sys in your "DOS drive"
- boot dosbox
- "keyb nokia.sys us"
- press some FN-hardware keyboard keys. "Sticky keys" is not there yet, you must hold FN for now.

Chr+q is F1, Chr+w is F2... Chr+p is F10.
All FN keys "should" work, save for €¥£ which need codepage 858 (you can actually load it by forcing it "keyb nokia.sys us auto 858").

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

you sir, are the man. i'm trying a bunch of games, and i have to rename them all not to have numbers anywhere in the dir/file names . this should help a lot.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

How are you running any of these?

I tried Prince of Persia, and it's real laggy... I won't even attempt Doom!

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

RubyBox updated to work with this version, let me know if I messed something up. It's available via the builtin update manager, I'll update the repo when I have the time.
