DOSBox SVN r3919 is released. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD. However, it is not restricted to running only games. In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS (referred to commonly as "DOS") application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early development.
DOSBox also comes with its own DOS-like command prompt. It is still quite rudimentary and lacks many of the features found in MS-DOS, but it is sufficient for installing and running most DOS games.

Hi, is svn build based on dosbox0.74? I saw in dosbox0.74 I could set umb=max, but I cannot do it in svn build, which would gave me trouble running Lunatic Dawn II at svn build. If you guys could add this support in svn as well? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteAlso, in svn build when I was trying to do a imgmount for the CD file for alone in the dark 3 for gog version in this svn build (and previous ones), ex "imgmount d ./CD/AITD3.cue -t iso", it would gave me an error saying "Could not load image file [filepath] MSCDEX;Failure: invalid file or unable to open". ( but the other img file could be loaded fine, to me it is weird), however, both the other two official build dosbox0.63 and dosbox0.74 I have can load this img perfectly, so currently I am switch to 0.63 to play alone in the dark 3. But I would be really appreciated it could be solved because svn build already solved a lots of other compatibility issue between dosbox versions. (this is probably harder to take a look than the umb setting so I guess I am fine continue using dosbox0.63 to play it), Thanks!
