Working nicely in puppy 2.xx thanks....great for worms

Just curious.....The binary is double the size compared to the 0.63 version available for puppy...is this due to compression being used or is there a lot more stuff in there?

regards

Probably is just all the changes in the binary. 0.63 to 0.72 is quite a leap in version #'s.

extract the tar.gz file to / and try dosbox again.

I tried WINE first with a little success, but dosbox does exactly what I wanted with very little overhead. The GUI did not work for me, but I really don't need it.

Thanks!

Hi! I need help! I installed files in first post. I clicked on Dosboxgui in Utility menu and doesnt run at all! Is it because installed files are old versions (I've last version of Puppy Linux. ) ? Please help me

Wolfpup,

Great little pet! I like it so much that I included it in my own puplet: Tipsy Puppy (now in version 4.1.2).

There are a couple of things I couldn't get to work, though:

1. No menu item. My puplet, based on NOP, uses the xfce environment, and it would be very nice to have a menu item for dosbox.

2. Dosbox gets confused finding Timidity++ through alsa. I had to make a dosbox.conf file in /root, and then add config=128:00 in the [midi] section. I think it would be easier if the setting were already in by default.

Thanks!
