So am I to understand from the last guy's post that the new mapper.txt file javispedro made doesn't work with rubybox?

So, anyone want to try Windows 3.11 or Win 95 with the new DosBox?

you know, I installed both of those on a VM not too long ago.

I'd rather not have them on my NIT even if I could. Maemo is waaay nicer, and it's not like any modern prog could run on them any way.

My custom mapper.txt file doesn't work with RubyBox (mappercsa.txt). I'm trying to figure out if I need to redo it or if something else is causing problems.

I really like being able to hit numbers... then again, i suppose getting the games playable might be better, if i had to choose...

Not me!

Ah, forgot to document that the mapper.txt file is no longer needed ... FN keys "should" work without it. At least, they work with the default mapper.txt on 0.73-3 (keyb & nokia.sys still required).

If it does not work (e.g. you've made a custom mapper.txt file) just make sure FN key is mapped to "Right Alt" (key_ralt) and Chr key is mapped to "<" (key_lessthan).

I'm looking forward to trying, but it will be a couple of weeks before I can pull out my old disks and find the time.

Dude...




Anyway, I think there's a few things left to be tweaked with this latest build.

I've got two versions of Dosbox in my application window thing, so the latest one doesn't overwrite the previous version.

Hey Pushwall, you might want to look at the new default settings in the dosbox.conf file.

It's originally set at either max or auto I believe. Either one of these settings is going to cause your tablet to become a tad bit dyspeptic. It's best to just give it a specific cycle speed instead.

Also, I wanted to report that I can run Angband if I'm using Dosbox .73 straight up, but when going through Rubybox, I'm getting a segmentation fault as before.

I'm not seeing why Rubybox would cause such a thing though.

Anyway, it's a great release!

A good pick up on speed of about 15 - 20% overall and all of the extra features is huge!

I might even attempt to run Shanara again to see if I can't get both voice and sound to work together.

The best I could get on the previous release of Dosbox was just the voices from the CD and not the sound effects.

Thanks again to everyone who put time in this.!

I'm not either. Is it Dosbox crashing or RubyBox? Can you start RubyBox from terminal with 'rbox' and paste the error? I've seen one Ruby crash error with the new packages. Ruby code shouldn't crash the interpreter, but I bet I can avoid triggering that bug. But this seems unrelated to that.
