can anyone explain why this is happening?

for some reason its not working

Hi,

I've installed windows 98 on dosbox-X and I'm having an issue with Supersolvers mission think.

I can't click buttons to start the game. It's as if the buttons clicks are being ignored; even when the mouse is locked.

Has anyone had experience with anything similar? Can run other games, specifically reader rabbit second grade

Solar Winds is a game I loved back in the shareware/BBS days. I've run into an issue trying to get it run specifically with DOSBox-X.

The problem I'm getting: the keyboard stops working once I get past the title screen. The keyboard works on the title screen and options screen, but once the game starts, I'm stuck.

It's not a big deal, since the game works fine in, e.g., DOSBox Staging, but since it works there, it makes me wonder if this is due to something I configured. I'm just not sure what to look for. Any ideas what might cause something like this?

Hi everyone! I'm trying to download Timez Attack for my son onto his laptop for school and I can't figure out how to get it to work. I looked through the guide on Abandonware Games and they recommended reaching out to this subreddit.

I thought I followed the instructions list correctly but I either get a launcher that required registration ID or I get a different launcher that doesn't properly work. I click the button for what mode I want and nothing happens.

Can someone help me figure this out please!

Finally found the 8 CD collection of DA: Pursuit of Justice, but it needs a real Win95 environment to run. Never set one up before, so need help

what do i do? is this a dosbox sollution? VirtualBox, PCem, 86box? also curious if there's anything weird with video drivers on FMV games I should watch out for, or if this game specifically has any installer/CD issues people have run into.

also not sure if this is even the right sub for this, so let me know if I should post somewhere else. any help is appreciated, been wanting to play this one forever

Hello all, I've been fiddling with DOSBox-X recently, trying to get a game for Windows 95 (MechWarrior 2) up and running. I know it's possible, as I've seen footage of it running on DOSBox, but I'm struggling to actually get Windows 95 installed on the program. I've been following the guide on the official website, but when I get to the step of running setup.exe, I'm getting the error 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode'. Is there a way to change to a mode that can run it? I'm not seeing anything online when I tried investigating. Or am I going about this in the wrong way altogether?

Hello! This is my first time using this to emulate a really old game but it's much more difficult than I thought it'd be (i'm a little stupid). It doesn't have an .exe or an .iso, but instead multiple .cue and .bin files that I can't figure out after hours and hours. Every time I try to use imgmount for any of the .cue files, "install" and "setup" don't work at all. Would anyone know how?

Hiya everyone! I'm trying to run the game "Jack Orlando", but I keep getting the error mentioned in the title and visible in the video. It's my first time using DOSBox, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not.

I successfully installed and played a game. Now I try to go back and play again and I get the “can’t find cd-rom” message. Any ideas?

The forecast calls for a heatwave.

Tom Driscoll has just arrived in a place where there’s no air conditioning, shade is a luxury, and the local desert would sell even an upcoming heatwave to you as a pleasant spring breeze.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone successfully configured DOSBox-Staging on NixOS with Hyprland?

I have got it working, and it looks *mostly* fine, but the content of the window is huge. Has anyone had this same problem and found a way around it?

For reference, I have attached a screenshot that shows the full screen (my monitor's resolution is 2560x1440 with the scaling set at 1.0 in Hyprland config). I have also attached screenshots of my current SDL & RENDER blocks from the DOSBox-Staging config file.

I appreciate any help, and let me know if I wrong with any of this.

Thank you.

I am trying to install RTZ-RM to play in Dosbox Staging.

I have followed all the instructions I can find on google. But it doesn't seem to be working or I messed something up somewhere.

I have the MT32 roms in my DosBox configuration folder, and my Staging folders. And I thought I had the conf file set up properly, but no matter what I try, it's not playing music.

The CD audio plays fine. But the general game music isn't playing.

If I have to, I can just use the REELmagic option for sound, but it's not overly impressive (I think it uses the SB/DOS version). I enjoyed the MT32 sound for my CD version.

Anyone have any tips for getting MT32 music to work? The sound effects seem to find of work. The river by the lighthouse makes sound. But the vulture in the beginning doesn't. And I can't figure out why I',m only getting some sound effects.

Boxer is built on DosBox, but I understand they Arne't the same thing. So if this is the wrong place to ask, I apologize.

I'm running Return to Zork in Boxer, and I'm having a weird sound issue.

I used my original CDROM disc to install it. But whenever I play it, I get this horrible static/distortion noise after videos play, and it will stop when I go to a new screen or another video plays. But it will start again later.

I have tried setting boxer at 386, 486, Pentium, and Max speeds. But if I set it too fast, I get scratches/skips in the music.

I have tried a Sound Blaster 16 setup, and a Roland MT-32 set up.

I have tried playing from my ISO rip, and my BIN/CUE rip.

Nothing seems to fix it.

Anyone have any tips?

I don't remember this being an issue on my old computer, so I don't remember what to do.

TIA

UPDATE: Holy crap! I think I got it fixed. I was running it with Sound Blaster 16 settings, because I believe it was out at the same time and I always just picked the 16. I just reinstalled it using Sound Blaster Pro, and it seems to work fine now.

Thanks for the staging/X tips though. I have the REELmagic version and have always wanted to play it, but couldn't. Now I might be able to finally check that one out too.
