Thanks Jochen.

Thanks Jan-Erik your software runs fine to get Red Alert, it is very interesting. I'm only missing the icon in PNG format since I use a "Dynamic Icons" template. (Check image)

Regards

I dropped a new release, fixing the crash if a mount doesn't succeed.

I think, I found the problem. Physfs loads uconv.dll at runtime and uses the signature
Code: [Select]
UniFreeUconvObject(UConvObject*),
while uconv.h and the system documentation say:
Code: [Select]
UniFreeUconvObject(UConvObject).
I removed the pointer, and look, no crashes anymore.

@Dave: Thanks for the hint at the symbol files. That's always useful.

OK, I mis-understood. ALT-HOME may switch from window to full screen and back.

Hi Dave

Not sure what that is meant to do - but it doesn't whatever it is.

To clarify: dosbox-x runs full screen but any game is loaded into the top left corner of that screen rather than full screen.

The brute force

  set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:0

should do this.  The less brutish

  set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20

I've already tried this. It doesn't help.

Hi All

Silly question: How do I get full screen use for games in dosbox-x?

Currently trying to run any game results in the game appearing in the top left corner of the screen - dosbox-x is running full screen.
The same games run full screen in dosbox.
I am using the same [sdl] section settings that work for dosbox.

I can only guess there is a setting that I am not aware of in dosbox-x...


Regards

Pete

As a celebration to Dosbox by Jochen, I've created a tool with DrDialog that download DOSBox-X/2 (2026-02-10) and the free EA game Red Alert 1
It can use the version of DOSBox already installed.

Rename this updated version to CCRA.pat to CCRA.EXE and double click it to try it out.

Information
If you instead choose OS/2 DOS and have problems that OS/2 DOS stall... your system may stall as you try to run this DOS game as well.
Run DOS in full screen mode and use Alt + Home to switch to windowed mode.

Yes, the DOS setup application run after download, unpack, patch etc. to allow you to run it locally without CD or ISO image.
You can of course run against the ISO image as well, but must then mount it in OS/2 if you use it with OS/2 DOS and use "ASSIGN" or "SUBST", while DOSBox can mount ISO-files itself.
The patched _setup.exe can't detect your sound hardware, but do allow you to test the sound.
The suggested sound hardware work well with Dosbox and Dosbox-X/2 while it may freeze in OS/2 DOS if you don't have the hardware selected. Use Ctrl + Esc to escape back to the OS/2 Desktop to close manually then.
