dosbox

I've already read the thread about the autogen.sh: "read what is inside an do it the port way" I'm trying to do so: GNU_CONFIGURE= yes CONFIGURE_ARGS= --enable-sdl2 USE_AUTOTOOLS= aclocal autoheader automake autoconf AUTOMAKE_ARGS= --include-deps --add-missing --copy...

So I'm sorry if this is a common problem that's been answered a lot... I literally don't know the right way to explain the problem I'm having so I could search the forum for it. Basically whenever I start certain programs (all FreeBSD ports installed with pkg) that emulate vintage hardware, such...

When was the last time you played a computer game? I really like one of Benjamin Franklin quotes – “We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.” – he lived in times where computer games did not existed yet but the quote remains current. I do not play games a...

At one point in time, FreeBSD had DOS emulation included as a feature. I'm not sure exactly when that was lost. I think the doscmd port failed to compile beginning with FreeBSD 10.

The game (fd2) is okay under Gentoo with version 0.74 of dosbox, but does not work under FreeBSD 10.1 with version 0.74 of emulators/dosbox on the same PC. Debug info: 85155723: DOSMISC:Call is made for list of lists - let's hope for the best 85156047: FCB:DOS:29:FCB Parse Filename...

I have a problem with dosbox-0.74_8 on amd64 10.1-RELEASE: I cannot get any DOS program working on FreeBSD 10.1 amd64, but all works on FreeBSD 10.1 i386 and on Linux (amd64 and i386). "Not working" means as soon as the DOS program is started (e.g. Settlers 2: C:> s2.exe) nothing happens...

Howdy, Just wondering: what's the current status of running other OSes as guest VMs on a FreeBSD host? As far as I know there are a few good DOS emulators out there (in fact, I'm using DOSbox at the moment) but there are no native versions of either VMWare or VirtualBox. Basically, what I...
