what would be nice would be to get steel panthers III (and/or wizardry gold -- wiz 1-5? ) on the Z.

Hi,

About windows 3.11 :
- cycles=2500
- frameskip=2
- fullscreen=true

Mouse-speed in windows : slowest

then both pointers seem to stay together (don't challenge it, you can get a gap between them), but it is possible to play a game of patience or hearts.

I'll try installing excell 5 later this week (if i still have my installation disks).

Anyone has better settings ?

For Chinese Win 3.1 @ C3100 w/ Beta3, I found
cycles=5000
no frameskip
Mouse-speed in windows : slowest

work best for me, but that is far from perfect as the two pointers (X & Win) don't stay together all the time.

I'll install pdaXii13 and try later.

I just got done playing a nice game of Circa 7000:Armies of Armageddon via dosbox emulation.  It's a great game.  I highly reccomend it, especially to those people who are familiar with warhammer/warhammer 40k.  I didn't have any problems with the mouse, but it was a touch slow.  Now to try to fiddle with the settings and break something...

I compiled dosbox 0.66rc3. I don't have the mouse-pointer-issue any longer (the X-windows pointer is gone and all there is left is the windows-pointer).
Speed is about the same though. I think the speed improvement they talk about on the dosbox site is for x86-cpu-s only.

Have you done this in the source code? or via mapper? Can you post your source code if you changed it? at least the diff

Dosbox Package Issues

Hi Meanie,

hmm - why is it necessary to use the right shift key?
The left shift key does not seem to have ANY effect.
(although I recall that it worked after I had installed Jeana's dosbox package!)

Couldn't the bios_keyboard.cpp be modified in a way that it reflects the Zaurus keyboard without exceptions?
I had a look at it, but I don't understand the key code table yet.
But at least I see that it distinguishes between left shift and right shift...

BTW:
I don't have the impression that dosbox 0.70 is faster than 0.65 (as suggested by the changelog)... rather the opposite. Using the HP 200LX connectivity pack in it and PAL applications using PALRUN, it seems to be even slower. Is this just my impression or do others also notice this?

DId anyone ever get Lotus 1-2-3 to run inside Dosbox? I only get the spash screen of 1-2-3 but nothing else.

Thanks
daniel

Yes, without X pointer, I can control the Win pointer with USB mouse wiithout problem. But with stylus, the Win pointer still don't stay where I'm pointing to.

I've Chinese Win3.1 + Chinese Lotus 123 R5 for Win installed. Yes it runs without problem. I only notice that with mem=4, it takes over 1 min to start 1-2-3. But with mem=16, it starts much faster.

Sorry, I meant the DOS versions of Lotus 1-2-3 (especially v2.4 and 3.0).
But having a Windows version could also be an option.
I'll try that...

Oh, I don't have 1-2-3 in DOS. But I could find my first DOS app: Wordstar 3.3 ... in 5in disk. Don't think I can access it anymore.

It is - well - slow but usable.
It runs slower than on a singlespeed LX, and when using small fonts they are not too well readable (because they are VERY small).
But it runs.
You can see screenshots of it [a href=\"http://www.hermocom.com/en/services/weexpc/screenshots]here[/url]
