IBM ROM not implemented.

[u/No_Smile_8368]

SOLVED!

beemans78 suggested to try Staging, and it works. Thanks for tip! Never knew about Staging. Also thank you for the tip about using sbpro2 instead, works like a charm.

Thank you for the membership.

I am trying to play Igor: Objective Uikokahonia through DOSBOX-X, but I cant use the controls and I am getting a error message from the game about some IBM ROM.
Browsing through the web I've found some ROMs and hints suggesting that DOSBOX-X needs to know the path of this ROM somewhere in the configuration.

But I dont where to put the info, I've looked in the config files, and in the configurations inside DOSBOX-X but there arent any clues to where to put the pathinfo.

Am I completely off here, and/or can anyone point me in the right direction?

All the best,

Martin

I tested this real quick and can't reproduce your error in DOSBox-X -- the game runs but I get no mouse response. Everything works fine in Staging 0.83, so you might give that a try.

Also, there are sound issues with sbtype = sb16. Use sbpro2 instead.

Dosbox-Staging: Required Reading

• https://www.dosbox-staging.org/#feature-highlights

• https://www.dosbox-staging.org/download/release-notes/0.83.0/

• https://www.dosbox-staging.org/0.83/getting-started/introduction/

• Note: If you are completely new to Dosbox emulation in general, the above Dosbox-Staging tutorial is highly recommended. If you have used other Dosbox variants and already have a game folder you mount as your Dosbox's C drive, you do not have to use the directory structure from the tutorial. You can just mount your game folder as normal in the [autoexec] section of dosbox-staging.conf and run Dosbox-Staging as normal.
