An older version of it was integrated in 0.73, the build in extras uses risc_armv4le-thumb-niw .

AFAIU, it's only enabled if either:
-"core" is set to "auto" and protected mode is enabled.
-"core" is set to "dynamic".

Fully programmable. You can boot the key mapper with "dosbox -startmapper", and map them to the zoom -/+ keys.

Was the server down or is this problem still present?

I realized about two months ago that all of the settings I uploaded to your site Ukki are probably incorrect.

I had changed the default dosbox.conf file so I didn't have to keep making the necessary tweaks on each and every game.

Anyway, for some reason, those changes didn't carry over when uploading them so all of those game configurations are probably much stupid to use.

I might go back over them in a week or two and try to fix them up a bit.

I'm a newbie with an n800, trying to play Ultima 4/5/6 on dosbox. I might be missing something obvious, but how do I move around? the cursor keys aren't moving the avatar, and none of the xkbd keys work, either. I'd rather not spring for a hw bluetooth keyboard, but I definitely like the idea of playing ultima in transit.

Oh, also, I've been trying to play ultima underworld, but the mouse pointer is waaay off from where I'm poking the stylus. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

As for cursor weirdness, go to the advanced settings in Rubybox and change "sdl autolock" to false.

If you haven't already, grab and use ukki's mapper file in his download feature.

which mapper file? I've downloaded both in the download feature, and have tried mappercsa and mapper72 with ultima iv, and niether seem to work.

As for the sdl autolock w/ UW, I changed it to false, but the mouse pointer is far to the left and slightly up from where I'm touching the screen with the stylus, still off.

Yep. Very good.

"mapper72" is the way to go for all games and applications unless you're playing around with some of Pushwall's suggestions in the Games that work well with Dosbox thread... then you would be using his instead.

The first time you tap the stylus on the screen, I match it up with wherever the cursor is at that time. Doing this, I never have an issue with the pointer behavior being off.

If you still find that the stylus and pointer aren't quite matching up together, drag the stylus to one corner of the screen so that it "catches up" to the mouse pointer. Should do the trick.

If this doesn't work, then you most likely have some funky Dosbox settings. If you've got the cycle speed cranked too high or some ridiculous frame skipping, it could very well be the cause of such behavior.

Not sure why you're not seeing any movement with your avatar.

There's also a Rightdosbox2 or Leftdosbox2 keyboard that you can place on the other side of the display screen. It has a "numlock" key that might activate the keypad. It also has the four cursor keys there as well which are represented by four circles.

Know what? I'll try looking into this a little later tonight if I can find the time to do so unless one of these suggestions ends up working for you.

Cheers.

Yeah, still nothing. I tried Rightdosbox2 and using the circle keys, as well as NL and the keypad, and still no movement. The select button in the middle of my directional keys is working as "enter", but for some reason the directional keys aren't working at all.

Would it help if I told you I installed xkbd via rubybox? I know I have libxpm4 installed, so that shouldn't be an issue. It's kinda frustrating, I feel like I'm right on the edge of exploring Britannia again, but the avatar has his feet glued to the grass : P

Your method for the mouse pointer in UW works fantastically, I can't believe I hadn't thought to do that. Now I just need to figure out if I can get it to not run like a slug.

I'd still appreciate any help, and thanks again.

Okay. I'll find some time later tonight to help you problem solve for this.

Give me about 3 hours or so after the wife passes out.

In the meantime, maybe you should have a look at these:

Aklabeth - Ultima 0

xu4 - Ultima 4 RPG Engine

Exult Ultima 7 RPG remake

Pentagram - Ultima 8 Engine

I haven't installed any of these myself because it seemed a little too complicated to do so.

If you "Search" the forums however, there's been a few discussions on these games.

I just tried the Ultima IV that you can download through RubyBox, since that is the one with enhanced graphics and music. The directional keys work fine for me on the map. I'm using the mapper72 file like Addison suggested. Here's a reference for all the key commands too if that helps:
