Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw
 

Is there a README that explains where all the config files are and what the general option for them are? I looked on the site and did not see one.

Also, can xkbd work on OS2008? I see .debs for 2006 & 2007. If not, what are the keyboard options for 2008 (N800)?

edit: on further review I see the 2006 & 2007 debs are for the libraries that those OS' need, but I still am not sure if xkbd will work with 2008


Sorry if these have been answered before, but a search didn't come up with good answers.

The dosbox.conf file is in /usr/share/dosbox/ at least for me it is, I've been editing it on my PC then copying it onto my card then dragging from the mmc card using emelFM2 File manager to drag from the card to the dosbox directory and replacing it, I've been trying different options within the conf file all day.

And the Xkbd does work with the 2008os, takes a few thousand (not really) files installed to get it working, but it does work. Also you will need to use it in caps lock mode so it works, some sort of glitch in this release isn't completely compatible for 08 I guess. So yes it does work, I'm using it right now, and finally I understand mounting in dosbox.

Fire up!

Now I don't have to learn me Linux and can remain stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid. :D

I would love to get Win 3.11 running. I would want the TCP stack, Win32s, and some basic (for this century) apps like the last Mozilla browser capable of running on good old 3.11 and a Word doc reader. I read about your attempts to get Win98 running on another DOS emulator, so I've scaled back my expectations to what I've listed above.

I need to play around with DOSBox some more this weekend.

Dosbox is pretty sweet. I can run the old digital paint 2 on it and even autodest animator pro. However the pointer in animator pro won't calibrate for me but the calibration method works for dpaint 2.
Is there another way to calibrate the pointer?

Also, does anyone remember the adult answers to the beginning of LSL3?;)

The beginning of this LSL3 FAQ tells you all you need to know:

Calibration doesn't work for me in any application so far. It is interesting though that while the apps I've tried are starting a normal cursor shows and tracks perfectly until the app cursor appears, from that point the stylus moves the cursor with a strange offset. If I start in the top left corner of the screen and move toward the bottom right the cursor moves further and further ahead of the stylus until it sticks in the corner, then repeats in reverse if I go back to the top left. It is like the cursor position needs to be downscaled to the DOS applications screen resolution?

Announcing ukki's Rubybox! It is a dosbox frontend written in Ruby that allows you to launch games with the stylus, and to set up game/program profiles with customized dosbox options.

http://pupnik.de/RubyBox_001.jpg

Why do you want this? DOSbox games responsivieness varies greatly with the configuration options, and manually creating different profiles for each is time-consuming and error-prone.

To set up a new game. Select 'New game', Enter a title in the top box and click 'Browse' and select the dos application you want to launch. Save the configuration then click on the game and select 'Run' to launch it.

To change settings, select a game, select 'Game settings', click on the setting you want to change and then click on the value. Type in the new value and hit save. For example, in the above screenshot I changed the dosbox machine type from vga to "tandy" because Ultima 5 doesn't use vga colors and runs a lot smoother with a tandy adapter.

Rubybox requires two ruby packages:
ruby1.8
ruby1.8-maemo
To install these on OS2008, click on the following link to the .install file for the GPL Systems Repository (repository containing ruby) then in application manager go to the section 'programming' and install the ruby packages.

http://pupnik.de/rubybox_0.1.deb

Rubybox was made for you! Go into game settings: basic settings and select sdl sensitivity. Change the value from 100 to 200, hit save, and try the game again. The value divided by 100 is the mouse scaling factor, i.e. 100 = 1.0, 200 = 2.0 times mouse speed.
(edit) If you have OS2007 please let us know if the Rubybox deb installs, and where to find ruby packages for it :)
