Dosbox For Z
« Reply #30 on: October 21, 2006, 09:40:58 pm »
Jon,

Did you ever get dosbox working?  I'm running Cacko 3000 Beta 1.23 on my C3000.  I previously installed dosbox_0.6.3-3_arm.ipk and libstdc6_1.2.2_arm.ipk and then created a symlink from /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so to /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3.

When I execute the rundosbox command from the command line, the screen fades to white and then everything freezes.  None of the keys respond including cancel and home.  Since I've run the command from an ssh session, I can hit ctrl-z to interrupt the program (but ctrl-c doesn't work).  But I can't run any command to get the video back so I'm forced to reboot.

Here are the messages I see on the command line:

Display size = 480x640
CONFIG:Loading settings from config file dosbox.conf
QT_GetMachine: /proc/deviceinfo/product is 'SL-C3000'
 detected machine is 'Sharp SL-C3000'
QT_GetRotation: Read spec from '/tmp/qtembedded-root/QtEmbedded-0.spec'
 Rot=0, Qvga=0
QT_SetVideoMode: SL-C700 Style is Input style
QT_SetVideoMode: argSize=640x400
QT_SetVideoMode: qteSize=640x480
QT_SetVideoMode: fbSize=640x480
QT_SetVideoMode: qteRotation=0
QT_SetVideoMode: userRotation=-1
QT_SetVideoMode: sdlRotation=0
QT_SetVideoMode: qteKeyRotation=0
QT_SetVideoMode: sdlKeyRotation=0
MIDI:Opened device:none

It repeats everything from the first "QT_GetMachine" downward two more times.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I'd really like to get DOS working on my Z.

I just installed dosbox_0.6.3-3_arm.ipk onto my C3100.
I also have previously installed libstdc6_1.2.2_arm.ipk
I don't have Meanie's pdaxqtrom installed.
This version is supposed to run without x11 or pdaxqtrom, isn't it?

When running dosbox from the icon, or from the commandline, it opens a black screen, which looks like dosbox, but my Z is completely frozen.
The cancel button does nothing. None of the keys respond.
I must open the battery compartment, and reset my Z to get it running again.
The commandline launch didn't show any errors.

Thank you,
Jon

I have verified that on C3000 dosbox should be working.
Have you noticed that the screen is blinking? Press cancel to ease it, then you will be able to see Dosbox running.

Thanks, I got it working.  I had installed it to /hdd3 and used ipkg-link to establish symlinks.  But I think the C3000 doesn't like that very much.  When I installed it directly without symlinks, it works OK.

I had an older version of Dosbox running about 8 months ago. (dosbox_0.6.3-2)
I only had it installed to play some older games, which didn't work properly.
The game that I was interested in didn't play. (Betrayal at Krondor)
I tried several games. (RPGs)
None of them would play, or continue to the next screen, or they needed F1-F10 keys.
I uninstalled THAT version, and then later tried the newer one (dosbox_0.6.3-3)
When it didn't work as I mentioned in the post on the first page of this thread, I decided I didn't really need it that bad, to try and get it working again.
I may try it again this Winter, but in the meantime, I'm testing Turbografx CD games, using Cresho's emulator.
