Release DosBox EX - Ultimate

[commander-beef]

You just want me to donate again, right?

I didn't dare to ask for savestates, but... yeah!

I got Drilling Billy to start by doubling the amount of RAM in the extended configurations

(hopefully, I will not have to edit this everytime I start dosbox in the future at some point, like with the "aspect=true"),

but the active ISO is not recognized by the game, it still wishes a CD in drive "D", may this problem related to my file,

or is the virtual CD-drive not "D"?

Hmm, maybe you have 01.ISO instead of 01.iso? Or maybe the file isnt in proper format [*.tao renamed to *.iso :/ ]

btw. Save States comes to dosbox ex because of PtitSeb. Its his fault . Drop him a little penny for beer if you like.

A question for a game (EOB3) :

I need to assign Pageup(9) and Home(7) from the keypad to Left and Right Trigger, how can i do this ?

They only work from the keypad on the original game.

I tried with dosbox on windows, it work if if i use numlock and 7 and 9. Is there a way ?

I tried to edit mapper.txt and add :

key_kp_home "key 303"
key_kp_pageup "key 305"

But it doesn't work.

I'll investigate that, BAFelton.

Btw. what options / action are triggered when used numlock and 7 and 9 in game EOB3?

 

[BAFelton]

Turn left and right


4 and 6 are strafe left and right.

 

[BAFelton]

I found another way :

i assign num lock to a key (t for example), 7 to left trigger, 9 to right trigger.

I press t (so num lock is activated) and now 7 and 9 work as home and pageup.

Voila

Case closed, then

Do you have a link to a site with 320*240 pics of dos games ?

 

[commander-beef]

moby games / myabandonware / vgmuseum 

a lot of screens there..

but, its faster now to make screenshot using experimental version [LTrigger + RTrigger + S] of dosbox ex

 

[BAFelton]

Ok, i'll try this ! Thanks.

EDIT : you're right, it's soooo easy !

Anyone tried Monster Bash ? It's really slow.

I'd might try it soon

It is downloadable as Shareware here:

This is a funny part when read in 2013

No Apogee game has ever had as many gruesome graphics as Monster Bash, with over EIGHT MEGS of animated/scrolling EGA graphics in all three episodes.

New options in Advanced Options window

If monster bash is slow, there might be something wrong. The one I packaged for ed runs pretty good with pickles dosbox binary and notaz sdl.

Also, I can't map 'fire' in Commander Keen. I can jump, but i can't shoot when i have ammos.

On the keyboad, fire seems to be mapped to ALTGr, but RAlt on the mapper doesn't seem to work as fire.

Try to purge pandora keys in custom virtual mapper firstly.

According this site the keyboard controls can be redefined in the game by pressing "F3":

F3 = Configure Keyboard Controls

IN-GAME CONTROLS

Left or 4 on the numeric keypad = Go Left
Right or 6 on the numeric keypad = Go Right
Alt = Toggle Pogo Stick
Ctrl = Jump
Ctrl+Alt = Shoot Raygun

-> you have to push 2 buttons at the same time to shoot

 

[BAFelton]

Yep i just found this Thanks !

Had to map these two to fire.

On DB windows, AltGr works as fire that's weird.

Is there a way to map a combo in the mapper.txt ?
