Hello CB he does not rekonize the iso file in the game directory what i am doing wrong?

 

[commander-beef]

if you put 01.iso in game dir it will be automounted as D: drive:

type: "d: (enter)"

 

[BAFelton]

if you put 01.iso in game dir it will be automounted as D: drive:

type: "d: (enter)"

Thanks CB it works now

But why should i type D

 

[Stainy]

Isn`t it because D drive is normally the cd drive?

 

[anntao]

Looks great! Thanks.
Did you manage to add the nubs as mouse functionality?

Isn`t it because D drive is normally the cd drive?

Yes i know but i install the game on the pc then i copy the files to my pandora with the iso file,Its much easier plus on the pandora the : key doesn't work

 

[commander-beef]

it works , it works:

check the documentation of dosbox ex:

Keys:
[Left Shoulder] + ENTER => correct fullscreen aspect [strongly advised to using it]
[Left + Right Shoulder Button] + Q => Quit DosBox and load/show EX Launcher
[Left Shoulder Button] + ; + Fn => :
[Left + Right Shoulder Button] + 1..0 => numeric keyboard 
[Left Shoulder Button] + W => Right Mouse Click 
- Joystick mapped to d-pad + A/B
- D+Pad + A/X/B/Y => Arrows + CTRL/ALT/SHIFT/SPACE

Thanks CB (I should read more  ) I thought the readme was more windows version related

 

[commander-beef]

+ Added option to set game as: [ not working / working with touchscreen / working with no mouse / working but with issues.. ]

 

[ahahah]

hello, i really have difficults to use games with mouse.

For example with "fragile allegiance" i have to move the mouse to menu choices and to play. The mouse pointer can be very difficult to move with the stylus (nub is not possible) because the position is not the one of the stylus.

why is there a so big difference between position of stylus and pointer? is it correctable? thx

 

[commander-beef]

Because every dos game develops game own mouse refresh rate. Some games follow standards , some not. These games that uses non standard refresh rate cant be synced properly in all variations of dosbox on pandora.. imo its not correctable for wider scope of dos games. Of course this could be hacked for particular game.

 

[ahahah]

so is it possible to use the nubs to "push" the pointer?  with that, it won't have problem of positions. what do you think about this?

 

[commander-beef]

i dont think so.

btw.

new gui:

Is that new gui in the last version? the one I got from the repo doesn't include this... or I'm doing something wrong?

What is the easiest way to get screen grabs for the GUI?

 

[commander-beef]

The easiest way is SURPRISE, SURPRISE , download from MyAbandonware or make 'em in PC DosBox [Ctrl + F6 i think]

Download a gamescreen [*.png] from MyAbandonware, copy to SD Card and import it straight from DosBox EX [with Donate Edition]

or 

Download a gamescreen [*.png] from MyAbandonware, copy to SD Card and copy to game directory if using Thunar if you're using DosBox EX [freeware Edition]
