just recently checking this stuff out, it would be really nice to be able to run alot of my old games from my Pc that i cant get to work on Xp(no matter how much time i spend screwing with systemfiles and game files)
just one question with 2 parts does this work with a Xbox thats only a Softmod and if so does it matter what Dashmod i'm running on my Xbox which right now is UnleahedX.

I have a question which may sound a little stupid. Is there any way to get Soundblaster Awe 32 drivers into DosXbox? I've actually had a little trouble running a game that I just got working last week, now it won't budge because of this one file's messing up... Stupid machines. I'm looking forward to seeing a Windows emulator for some of the post-dos games that I remember playing a long time ago. Lol, I'm even considering buying some of the old CDs off of Amazon to relive those old glory days. 7th Guest anyone?

I would like to request:


1- support for two mouses (COM1 and COM2), which is needed to play Settlers in split screen mode

and

2- a graphical way of creating mappings to keyboard


Thanks for a great emulator!

I was wondering if we could see an update with this emulator and/or just have savestates as well. Thanks if anything like that is possible.

I haven't read this topic, but Keyboard support for controlling the emulator (before the game is selected.)

It's a bit annoying having to swap between controller to keyboard (share the same USB slot), especially when I have to do it fast so the keyboard is picked up before the game has been started.

If this is already implemented (haven't checked), or can't be done (my keyboard works flawlessly in XBMC, and everything else that supports it), then sorry.

I'm looking for a dos game site in particular, I remember them having a couple sega CD(like snatcher), and console games as well. They also had reviews for a large majority of the DOS games availible on their site. I think it was something moby or something. i dunno.

Edit: Actually it wasn't moby games but it was alot similar. I'm pretty sure it has a darkish background.

Maybe you mean www.the-underdogs.org which is down since a week or so.
It had nearly all the abondonware in existence. It had a darkish background and some dog wearing a space helmet as logo.
Anyone know why they closed down?

They didnt.

Have not really seen anyone discuss this very much and be highly surprised if someone knew what to do about it, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Anyone run into problems with games that use cwsdpmi.exe?  Any one that I have tried pretty much just ends up locking up on me.

[WermX]

yeah that was the site. I searched around after I made this post and finally found it. I was so happy when I clicked the link only to find they closed down. It's good to know they will be back though.

Btw, Since the sega cd version of rise of the dragon dosen't 100% work I've been playing the Dos version and it seems pretty good so far. The voice acting in the sega cd version was horrible, although the graphics were alot cleaner. Also, I heard there were many things censored out of the sega cd version.

I'm down to play pretty much anything cyber-punk. anything else good in DOS? I just finished snatcher for the 3rd time, and i need some other fix.

I can't get my USB mouse to work at all.  Any ideas?  Also I can't use IMGMOUNT.  It just seems to lock up the machine.

I also have had trouble with imgmount.  It locks everything up as well...  it is a must for my Lengend of Kyrandia trilogy.  They play just fine but I have to have a working copy in the cdrom.   Hopefully this is just a bug or something.  mounting is a very nice feature I would like to get working.

It would be great having the port migrated to 0.65!

Is there any way to have dosxbox bypass the gui and directly load a pre-defined game? I know that with v4.01-HCl you could set up mystuff.bat to act like an autoexec, but that version doesn't support mapping the mouse to the sticks and also doesn't have a working dynamic core. I realize that version was based on Xport's v4, not actually done by him...

I tried editing custom_launch_params.cpp using the examples in its comments, but with no effect. Am I doing something wrong? Can this be done?

What I would really like to see is a default.xbe along with some sort of .ini containing emu settings & joypad mappings... no gui, no global saving settings to an external folder, nothing. Slapping these 2 files in a folder along with an old DOS game would launch it on the xbox. Edit the default.xbe title in a dash and u have an instant port. Is it just me, or would that be really cool?

[turner3d]

Does the "Xport method of command-line launching" apply to dosxbox?

Since I can't seem to find a definition anywhere of this method, am I right in that it is an unleashx menu item with an Arg1=? <item="c:\dosxbox\default.xbe" Arg1=.... >game title</item>

If that is the case, is the syntax the same as for dosbox .62? (dosbox [name] [-exit] [-c command] [-fullscreen] [-conf congfigfile] [-lang languagefile] [-machine machinetype] [-noconsole] [-startmapper])

If so, which options apply for the xbox version? (guessing name, hopefully -conf, and maybe -c command for xbox)

If so, do the command-line switches all get put in Arg1= as a single string or does there need to be Arg2= etc for each option?

Also, if these options do work, will it auto-mount the folder [name], or do you need to use -c MOUNT [name]?

When specifying a path, will a path relative to the xbe work, or does it need to be an absolute path?

If it will only take an absolute path, can it be defined as E:\games\blahblah or does it need to be \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1\games\blahblah?

I apologize for all these questions, but I have searched the forums and docs inside out for anything relating to this with no results whatsoever.
