Knowing a reproducible wrong output would certainly help. Once a difference is found, it needs to be seen that it is repeatable or if it's randomly different. None of this is made clear anywhere in DOSBox Pure's rather sparse documentation, which assumes you're a past master with RetroArch specifically and MS-DOS game-emulator environments in general. One could use OBS to record the resulting audio of both DOSBox Pure and native DOSBox and line the wave data up next to each other in Audacity to find differences. DOSBox Pure is a 'core' for RetroArchmeaning, when properly installed, it serves as one of the engines that RetroArch can use to run an older game.

Dosbox pure code#
I can try to read through the RetroArch code once more and see if something sticks out that could result in something like that. DOSBox Pure is a new fork built for RetroArch/Libretro, aiming for simplicity and ease of use. So what you're feeling can't be ruled out I think. Its made for a console-like usability, where you can load DOS games as single zip files each, with specially crafted controller-to-keyboard-and-mouse mapping automatically detected for each game from an internal database.

It doesn't introduce any delay or anything, but code-wise there are a few more steps involved between the emulated DOS game writing the MIDI message and it being processed by Windows.Īdditional steps means more chance of bugs. DOSBox, an x86 emulator with DOS Wednesday, January 27th, 2021 - Qbix We have created a workaround for Linux users who have problems with the keyboard, where it appears as if you stopped pressing a key. It lets you run DOS games directly out of ZIP files, as any other RetroArch emulator would. RetroArch has some additional layers of buffering and processing things.

One thing id like to ask, is the MPU-401 option in the standalone DosBox the same as choosing Frontend Midi in DosBox pure Or are those two different. I put the contents of the game in a zip file, renamed it from GameName.zip to GameName.dosz, and first-run, ran the install.exe or setup.exe where applicable.
Dosbox pure driver#
In theory the native DOSBox MPU-401 MIDI output (on Windows) should be equal to Frontend Midi with the winmm MIDI driver selected in RetroArch. I’ve been using the DOSBox Pure core to revisit the oldies I played as a kid on the family’s Tandy 1000 TX.

I was able to get it working.You don't have to wonder what changed, the patch I submitted to RetroArch "winmm_midi: Recover from MIDI messages not handled by the device" is linked a few lines above your post :-) Quoting: denyasis Quoting: EagleDeltaAnyone running into issues with: You can find the difference between two revisions and two paths etc., Syntax: svn diff filename svn -r R1:R2 diff filename.

I think pop_os is based on Ubuntu, so I'd check for that package and update. Small edit: looking at the online Ubuntu repo, looks like the package is libc6. I'm not near my computer, but hopefully the newest version will satisfy that dependency.
From a quick Google, it looks like glibc provides libm and is running 2.32 most recently. I guess the easiest question is do you have glibc installed at the correct version? It looks like it's asking for 2.29. Granted I'm on Pop!_OS and not Arch, and am running the Snap version since the Flatpak one has some issues.ĭo I need to build retroarch from scratch?
