Recalbox: IBM (Dos): Konfiguration

Dosbox benutzt eine Standardkonfiguration, aber bei bestimmten Dos-Spielen/Programmen kann es sein, dass von der Standardkonfiguration abgewichen werden muss um ein besseres Ergebnis zu erzielen.

Auszug Konfigurationsdatei

Hier ist einmal die komplette Konfigurationsdatein von Dosbox mit den Standardeinstellungen.

# This is the configuration file for DOSBox 0.74. (Please use the latest version of DOSBox)
# Lines starting with a # are comment lines and are ignored by DOSBox.
# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.

[sdl]
#       fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. (Press ALT-Enter to go back)
#            vsync: Sync to Vblank IF supported by the output device and renderer (if relevant).
#                   It can reduce screen flickering, but it can also result in a slow DOSBox.
#   fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original, desktop or a fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
#                     Using your monitor's native resolution with aspect=true might give the best results.
#                     If you end up with small window on a large screen, try an output different from surface.
# windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
#                     (output=surface does not!)
#           output: What video system to use for output.
#                   Possible values: surface, texture, texturenb.
#         renderer: Choose a renderer driver if output=texture or output=texturenb. Use output=auto for an automatic choice.
#                   Possible values: auto, opengl, software.
#         autolock: Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen. (Press CTRL-F10 to unlock)
#      sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity.
#      waitonerror: Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
#         priority: Priority levels for dosbox. Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
#                     pause is only valid for the second entry.
#                   Possible values: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, pause.
#       mapperfile: File used to load/save the key/event mappings from. Resetmapper only works with the default value.

[dosbox]
# language: Select another language file.
#  machine: The type of machine DOSBox tries to emulate.
#           Possible values: hercules, cga, tandy, pcjr, ega, vgaonly, svga_s3, svga_et3000, svga_et4000, svga_paradise, vesa_nolfb, vesa_oldvbe.
# captures: Directory where things like wave, midi, screenshot get captured.
#  memsize: Amount of memory DOSBox has in megabytes.
#             This value is best left at its default to avoid problems with some games,
#             though few games might require a higher value.
#             There is generally no speed advantage when raising this value.

language=
machine=svga_s3
captures=capture
memsize=16

[render]
# frameskip: How many frames DOSBox skips before drawing one.
#    aspect: Do aspect correction, if your output method doesn't support scaling this can slow things down!.
#    scaler: Scaler used to enlarge/enhance low resolution modes. If 'forced' is appended,
#            then the scaler will be used even if the result might not be desired.
#            Possible values: none, normal2x, normal3x, advmame2x, advmame3x, advinterp2x, advinterp3x, hq2x, hq3x, 2xsai, super2xsai, supereagle, tv2x, tv3x, rgb2x, rgb3x, scan2x, scan3x.

[cpu]
#      core: CPU Core used in emulation. auto will switch to dynamic if available and
#            appropriate.
#            Possible values: auto, dynamic, normal, simple.
#   cputype: CPU Type used in emulation. auto is the fastest choice.
#            Possible values: auto, 386, 386_slow, 486_slow, pentium_slow, 386_prefetch.
#    cycles: Amount of instructions DOSBox tries to emulate each millisecond.
#            Setting this value too high results in sound dropouts and lags.
#            Cycles can be set in 3 ways:
#              'auto'          tries to guess what a game needs.
#                              It usually works, but can fail for certain games.
#              'fixed #number' will set a fixed amount of cycles. This is what you usually
#                              need if 'auto' fails (Example: fixed 4000).
#              'max'           will allocate as much cycles as your computer is able to
#                              handle.
#            Possible values: auto, fixed, max.
#   cycleup: Amount of cycles to decrease/increase with keycombos.(CTRL-F11/CTRL-F12)
# cycledown: Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

cycleup=100
cycledown=100

[mixer]
#   nosound: Enable silent mode, sound is still emulated though.
#      rate: Mixer sample rate, setting any device's rate higher than this will probably lower their sound quality.

# blocksize: Mixer block size, larger blocks might help sound stuttering but sound will also be more lagged.
#            Possible values: 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 512, 256.
# prebuffer: How many milliseconds of data to keep on top of the blocksize.

#             Possible values: default, win32, alsa, oss, coreaudio, coremidi, none.
# midiconfig: Special configuration options for the device driver. This is usually the id of the device you want to use.
#               or in the case of coreaudio, you can specify a soundfont here.
#               When using a Roland MT-32 rev. 0 as midi output device, some games may require a delay in order to prevent 'buffer overflow' issues.
#               In that case, add 'delaysysex', for example: midiconfig=2 delaysysex
#               See the README/Manual for more details.

Erklärung der Abschnitte

Im nächsten Abschnitt werden die Einzelnen Punkte in der DosBox Konfigurationsdatei nochmal genauer erklärt und welche Einstellungsmöglichkeiten es gibt.

[sdl]

fullscreen=true/false

Diese Einstellung bedeutet ob das Dosbox-Fenster in Vollbild dargestellt wird oder nicht. Mit "true" wird es auf Vollbild geschaltet und mit "false" nicht.

[dosbox]

machine=svga_s3

In diesen Abschnitt geht es um die Grafikkarte, die DosBox emuliert. Standardmäßig die "svga_s3" bzw. das SVGA-Modell mit dem Trio64-Chipsatz von S3. Will man jetzt ein Betriebssytem wie z.B. Windows 3.1 auf DosBox installieren, braucht das Betriebssystem auch einen Treiber und der heißt für emulierte Grafikkarte "S3 864".

Kommt es zu Grafikproblemen mit der Grafikkarte, kann DosBox noch andere Grafikkarten emulieren.

hercules - Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Grafikkarte die im ersten IBM-PC verbaut war.

CGA - 4 Farben

EGA - 16 Farben

svga_et4000 - Hier wird die Grafikkarte ET4000 emuliert.

memsize=16

Dieser Eintrag legt die Größe des Arbeitsspeichers in MByte fest. Empfohlen werden maximal 64, mehr nutzt aber kein 16 Bit Programm.

[render]

scaler=X

Mit scaler wird die Kantenglättung eingestellt. Standardmäßig ist "normal2x" eingestellt. Folgende Einstellungen für die Kantenglättung gibt es: none, normal2x, normal3x, advmame2x, advmame3x, advinterp2x, advinterp3x, hq2x, hq3x, 2xsai, super2xsai, supereagle, tv2x, tv3x, rgb2x, rgb3x, scan2x, scan3x

[cpu]

cycles=max

Mit Cycles wird die Geschwindigkeit der DosBox bzw. der CPU eingestellt. Es kann hier auch ein fester Wert vorgegeben werden, falls das Spiel zu schnell oder langsam läuft. z.B. "10000". Des Weiteren kann während des Spiels mit der Tastenkombination [Strg] + [F11] die DOSBox langsamer oder mit [Strg] + [F12] schneller gemacht werden.

[autoexec]

Unter der Zeile autoexec kommen Befehle rein, die nach dem Start der Dosbox immer ausgeführt werden sollen.
