Same result??

And you're telling me the dpad does not work there?? Does it work in the DOSBox command prompt? "Up" should recall last entered command (much like any modern unix shell).

Everything now works fine for me. The dpad works in the DOSBox command prompt. And now it functions fine with RubyBox. From what I can tell, when running from a menu RubyBox wasn't loading a default DOSBox config file when launching games. It seemed to fix itself when I ran RubyBox from xterm. Now everything is hunky dory.

Thanks javispedro for all your help, and or course thanks ukki for your help too.

Okay, after reading through these latest posts, I'm still not quite sure how to get all the hardware keys mapped correctly.

Hey Pushwall, could you post the script that I can run in Xterm to create the needed directory that the current version of Dosbox erased along with the old mapper.txt file and where exactly to put that file?

Thanks ahead!

Hey javispedro, were you still thinking of offering us another release in a couple of weeks or is this your final build?

I'm still having difficulty trying to map the hardware keys and I can't seem to make sense of Pushwall's answer on how to correct for this.

Thanks.

I don't really know what's the problem with the hardware keys. They work for me, and there is no reason for /usr/share/dosbox existance to have any effect on this. I suggest you try the test application I put on the previous page and also booting dosbox directly from command line.

The next build will have minimal differences, mostly packaging related, and without nokia.sys for now. I will push that to extras (hopefully RubyBox will be there by then, now that Ruby is being slowly pushed).

The only thing in my todo list is understand how scaling works.

Ukki is waiting on you to upload dosbox first.

Ok, uploaded to extras-devel.

Javispedro is right that you don't need this directory when running DosBox. However, initially for DosBox to work with RubyBox and the mapper.txt file I did need it. If you need it, then download the zip file and you'll see the full directory path in the zip file on where to put it on your tablet.

To get RubyBox to work with DosBox and the mapper.txt file correctly though without that directory above, I ran rbox from the command line. And then after that everything worked fine. Beats me why.

Ok, RubyBox is now in extras-devel. Firstly I want to thank qwerty12. He found the other Ruby-Hildon bindings, uploaded them and all the depedencies it required (there were quite many) and even packaged RubyBox so I only had to upload it. He did an incredible job so everyone using RubyBox, remember to use that Thanks! link on him.

To install the latest RubyBox, please delete the old packages you have once again Become root and run:

if that doesn't remove all, you can try more brutal way:

Then enable extras-devel and install RubyBox. Let me know if you encounter any problems, I had to make some changes and remove some stuff as these new bindings aren't identical and they are missing some libs I used.

Well, thank you all guys, you're simply great
