Il s’agit d’un fork de DOSBox des plus intéressant, destiné à Windows Linux et MacOS et créé par Jon Campbell. Il possède une compatibilité excellente et met l’accent sur la précision d’émulation notamment en ce qui concerne l’émulation de Windows 3.x à ME. En outre il ajoute des améliorations en provenance d’autres builds comme DOSBox ECE avec l’émulation de la 3DFX en interne.
Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
– DOS filename handling fixed to retain uppercase conversion while not corrupting Shift-JIS double-byte characters
– MIDI settings can now be changed at runtime using CONFIG.COM
– Fluidsynth bugfix to correct segfault when switching to and from Fluidsynth MIDI output more than once
– Added -ro option to MOUNT.COM to allow mounting local folders read-only.
– Added -nocachedir option to MOUNT.COM to disable caching local file information when mounting a local folder
– New code to force 3Dfx OpenGL initial state to use GL_SMOOTH shading
– Linux/X11 bug fixes, including detection of Visual format change and code to keep the window on the screen even during SDL video mode changes
– PC-98: EGC bit shifter fixes and corrections. Screen shake in Touhou Project is emulated correctly now without errors
– PC-98: It turns out that the « page flipping » bit in PC-98 hardware is NOT double buffered and changes take effect immediately, therefore tearlines caused by page flipping mid-frame are normal. However, a hack to delay page flipping to vertical retrace to possibly alleviate tearlines is available.
– Fixed 3Dfx OpenGL code to prevent resizing at all costs including removal of the minimize button in the Windows title bar area
– Added code to disable (gray out) menu bar items that are not available while 3Dfx OpenGL emulation is running.
– Windows: Fatal errors (E_Exit) now display a message box in addition to sending to stderr, so that users who run the game without the command prompt can know what went wrong instead of DOSBox-X just disappearing suddenly from the desktop.
– New titlebar= dosbox.conf option to replace the running program name with a user defined string, if desired. (emendelson)
– New dosbox.conf option to control whether the Windows menu bar is initially visible.
– Fixed Windows builds to use SDL’s system WM events instead of fighting the SDL message pump over menu (WM_COMMAND) events.
– dosbox.reference.conf now uses MS-DOS (CR LF) line endings so that it can be edited on Windows systems using NOTEPAD.EXE
