Latest DOSBOX : with PPC dynamic recompiler and stuff , right there!

I have this Ultrasound stuff since many years, I think it's on Dosbox forum.

@thematic
Yes, its from their forum. Question is : should we include it by default just to "C" directory of dosbox archive, so everyone who will download and unpack will have working midi from begining. Or it should stay away as it separate thing mostly.

I find the GUS issue can use attention, say, put the link (page or file) to readme.

@kas1e

yeah audio works now .. playing doom with those is another story :)

Works really good. Thanks you all. Now i can play Death Rally using usb-adaper and Tac2 joystick.

Just tried this with a LEMMINGS3 CD, but I cannot type a colon. Other shifted keys work, I can get a semi colon. Couldn't get a colon added in the keymap either. As I cannot think I'm the only one to try that, any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

X-1000 4.1 final, AmigaOne keyboard from Aeon.

Thank you

You need to download latest dosbox from os4depot, and use mapper file which come with it.

Or alternatively you can generate your own mapper file via ctrl+f1, where you can reassign things as you need

latest DOSbox v0.76 mentionned some interesting news :

https://dosbox-staging.github.io/v0-76-0/

@Lio
but is there already a binary for amiga os with this feature? or developers are required to add this feature to amiga os?

@nubechecorre & Lio

No need, Dynamic recompilation support for PPC (aka JIT) is already supported by our version and its the same of the one mentioned in that changelog...
Aniway since a year has passed since the last release it might be worth updating the source to the latest SVN version of Dosbox

Wasn't there like a memory deallocation missing? Of the JIT cache?

Is DOSBox_r3_2.lha the latest version?

@Joeled

Latest version here:

Thanks!

@all

I am trying to port Wii BigEndian port of Fallout2 game to AmigaOS4.
https://github.com/ChrisNonyminus/fallout2-ce/tree/3ds-and-wii

There is a assembler function called __lwbrx

e.g. entriesDataSize = __lwbrx(&entriesDataSize, 0);

I saw a reference about his code in this thread.

How should I use in gcc code ?

@SinanSam460

__lwbrx() sounds like it's an inline assembler function based on the lwbrx instruction. If so, you should be able to replace this instance with:

entriesDataSize = __builtin_bswap32(entriesDataSize);

assuming that you are using a new enough gcc.

I used DOSBox with JIT on my Amiga X5000 a lot recently and even installed Excel 5.0 under Windows 3.11 on it for serious use, but I came to very strange issue:

When I try to enter numbers in Excel spreadsheet cells, the accepted number is always rounded to a smaller number if it exceeds a certain value.

For example I can enter 1,2,but not 3 (it accepts 2), then 4 but when I enter 5 it enters 4, up to 8 where 8 is okay, but 9 returns 8 up to 16 etc..
Here is a video demonstrating the issue:


I will try to test if the same issue will happen on the MacOS X 10.4 or 10.5 versions of DOSBox with PPC JIT.

Software is stable and doesn't crash.

Does anyone else experience similar problem?

Is it because I am using fakeshar.exe and noshare.exe to simulate the share.exe which doesn't work under DOSBox from what I read or it is something else. Is there a way to fix this and use Excel 5.0 on Amiga?

Edit: I have tested same DOSBox Windows 3.11 installation on iBook G3 900 MHz with DOSBox JIT for MacOS under MacOS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) and same issues appear. Then I copied the same files to Windows PC running DOSBox-X and Excel worked fine there.

So, this is either endian issue, or some bug that is fixed with the DOSBox-X fork.

I've tried to run my installation on the original DOSBox on PC from DOSBox's site and Excel didn't start at all.
