I worked around clicking in many progs by increasing the minimal OSS buffer size. It adds latency, but it is better than clicking. So better get this: http://www.dosemu.org/~stas/snd-patch6-1.1.2.diff.gz >From now I'll stop modifying it and start waiting for the results (if no serious bugs are discovered).

It is possible that after one particular game, another game will fail. So you have to restart dosemu after each test. This is related to additional fixes that I am currently submitting, and, as soon as they are in, I'll enable everything in my patch so there will be no more such setuations. > > > Just wondering...but how can you write and test sound code without a > > > sound card?

No, this is a cool feature of a pc-speaker driver - it acts like any other OSS driver so that any program (including dosemu) can play sound. Dos programs thinks that there are SB installed, but if not for dosemu, I would not be able to use pc-speaker as SoundBlaster for DOS progs, but I would be able to use it for Linux progs anyway. If I have real sound card, I could just reboot to DOS and enjoy sound, so no need to write sound support for dosemu. And now dosemu is the only way for me to hear sound from dos progs, that is why I am doing this:) > I have a computer without a sound card. I haven't ported my pc-speaker driver to 2.4 kernels yet because I am still using 2.2.20. But you can try it's predecessor by Michael Beck and David Woodhouse at ftp.infradead.org/pub/pcsp. But it is incomplete and practically not very usefull and produces absolutely horrible sound sometimes (and sometimes good). So you are unlikely to find an OSS-compatible pc-speaker driver until I switch to 2.4 kernel:) > > > xmms playing the background because DOSEmu currently seg-faults when some > > > other application is hogging /dev/dsp. > > Dosemu must never segfaults.

OK, but problem with segfaults is also an important one. > > It is too fast, how can you play? Are you using any slowdown programs for > > this?

OK, pretty nice game (took me ~20min to complete the whole game at a "Veteran" difficulty level:), but actually just another clone of Mortal Kombat, I would say (but with very nice music:) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
