Bochs Running

[xdivider]

hi, It's the working version. I have deleted the wrong file and attached the correct one. while forgot to remove the message. It seems to be better to include in my first post.

Thanks. :-)
Downloaded it and will try it now.
Would you be so kind to share your bochs configuratoin file and maybe a working DOS image (all versions of DOS 5.0 or above would be good).

The libDSL links the tarball creates existed already and were linked to other versions of libSDL (which did not work for bochs, missing symbols).
So I redirected the links to the versoin supplied by you. I hope it won't lead to any problems with other programs.

Thanks again

You can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH var if other programs require the older versions of libSDL.

Here is the bochsrc file. I don't know whether it's proper to share the disk file.

Excellent work. Now i suggest installing windows 95 first edition, and / or searching the web for some of those guides that really strips all the crap out of windows!

Dosemu doesn't do CPU emulation, so it won't work. If you're looking for DOS gaming, grab DOSBox, which does do CPU emulation and has a Z port.

Thank you for your info.
i've found dosbox before, but it can only run under pdaXrom. did you ever seen one that can run under sharp original rom?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=94941\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I think there's at least one that should run the default sharp rom. Check on the DOSBox forums, it may not come in a nice IPK, though. The only Z I've ever had was a 5500, so I knew I didn't have the pep needed to run it, so I never bothered to try.

Here is the binary package.
it contains the bochs and the opt/Qtopia/sharp/lib/libSDL.* for bochs.
Try to get the BIOS/VGA file from bochs distribution, or I will post it if you like.
To run it, just as you run it under linux
bochs -q -f bochsrc.bxrc[not included, you should build your own]
I installed windows 98 SE in bochs on my desktop, and then copy the disk image file to Z.
I do love C3000. A cool portable powerful workstation.

Tried it finally, but I get an "error while loading shared libraries: /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0: undefined symbol: pthread_create".

Reason is:
I create the symbolic link "/home/QtPalmtop/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0" to the file libSDL-1.2.so.0.7.1 supplied in your tar.gz. Once I then run ldconfig, the lonk is modified to point to "/home/QtPalmtop/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.0.7".

I do not know why. Any ideas?


If I run bochs without running ldconfig first, i.e. with the link to the correct library file, the undefined symbol error message does not apprear, it works.
But the next time I run ldconfig, it stops working again.


Some more notes / questions:

Task switching from and back to bochs with Shift-Home in Cacko 1.23b1 ROM does not work. When switching back I get the white "Plase wait" screen in portrait mode, some time later the task bar appears again, but "Please wait" remains on the screen. nothing else happens. If I then switch to another open application, bochs appears shortly on the screen, before the application appears I just switched to.

Also, if I start bochs (with bochs -q -f ?/.bochsrc), firstly only a cursor appears in the bottom top corner and the QTopia task bar flickers at the bottom. Only if I tap on the symbol of another open application, the task bar disappears and bochs runs fine (but slowly - booting a DOS7 disk from Windows 95 did not finish yet after 10 minutes - must check the boot disk image, maybe it has a problem).


And: how can I quit bochs? Currently I have to kill the process.

If you are running Bochs v1.4.1, there doesn't seem to be any way to close it down other than "kill -kill (pid)".

Bochs v2.1 & 2.1.1 (and perhaps some earlier versions that I haven't seen) have a "Power Off" icon on the right end of the upper icon bar. Works for me (G).

Have you compiled Bochs v2.2.1 for the C series Zs yet? If so, is it available? (G)

TIA

[beresmed]

Can anybody explain me step by step how to run Bochs on SL-C1000?

Haven't tried. AFAIK, it should contain some of my original hacking, which needs to take some time. I may have a try if it is worth doing.
Would you like to tell me whether there are any specific advantages over the previous version?
There are still some problems in my previous build, what I lack is the time.

To the library problem, I'm not sure, maybe you can create some symbol links to it to ease the program, I haven't dug deeply on this.

The flicker problem is a known issue, I don't know the solution to it yet. What i did is just to press to cancel to ease the program. Win95 will finish in more minutes than you have tried.

To quit bochs, I have created one libSDL with my dosbox post, you can try the library with it, you can quit that by pressing Shift+Ctrl+Cancel.
