You’re welcome.
I only recently discovered the markup functionality of my screen recording app, so it’s kinda fun to try it out. 😉Yes, you can. Here’s how:
[video src="https://www.mediafire.com/file/i4if23zh7gp0fqb/Screen_Recording_20201014-135345_Magic_DosBox_1.mp4" /]If it’s working, use it. I’m running SVN core whenever possible, with almost zero issues.
It’s just that it’s kind of a beta, so if there are issues with a particular game, it’s a good idea to disable SVN, and try again.Ah, alright. ?
Here’s how to do it, and please forgive the crude markup, I’m fascinated by my phones screen recording feature. ?
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ri1ev0jh8kd3c2d/Screen_Recording_20201012-202554_Magic_DosBox.mp4/fileOK, found the solution here: https://forum.dune2k.com/topic/21510-problem-solution-dune-in-dosbox-without-sound-what-to-do/
1. in your profile’s Software settings, select duneprg.exe as Main program
2. click the small cogwheel icon, and paste the following line: ENG VGA SDB2207 EMS 386
3. make sure you’ve set the sound config to Soundblaster for music & sound (or configure it accordingly)
4. run the gameThat’s my test profile: http://www.mediafire.com/file/55jfkowa6dkpiml/Dune.mgc/file
Just adjust the path settings, and you should be good to go.Kind of my default answer by now ?, but it’s working fine for me.
Creating a new, empty layout, then I simply add dune2.exe as main and setup.exe as setup file. Run setup, configure sound to Sound Blaster Pro, save. Then launch the game.Are you using a special version of the game?
No, except for some compatibility issues. In some rare cases, games might not launch/work properly (Win95 won’t, either). But if your game is running fine (as should be the case 99%), you’re good.
No, it’s still running. I can directly go back into my game to where I left, only sd card access is broken.
I already figured it may be an Android related issue. If only Google stopped breaking their own OS. ?
I am on Android 10, One UI 2.1. Don’t have my Oreo S7 with me right now for testing, would be interesting to see if this also happens in older OS versions.
Update: I was able to reproduce the issue. In my case, I also need to turn off the screen (i.e. put the phone into sleep mode). When I unlock it again, and hop back into the game, I can’t save anymore. My findings so far:
1. sd card access breaks when I go to phone desktop AND put my phone into sleep mode.
2. one of these two actions alternativey does NOT break sd card access. So if I put my phone to sleep while running MagicDosbox as foreground app does not affect sd card write access
3. this is a temporary issue, restricted to the currently running game. So when this happens, and I exit the game back to the Magic Dosbox app folder, then start the game again immediately, sd card access is fine again.Working fine, tested with Doom and Ultima VI, both on an external sd card. ?♂️
I run the game, load a savegame. Save, load without issues. Go to phone desktop (via home button), launch web browser and Gmail client, then go back to Magic Dosbox. I can still save and load just like before.
This is really puzzling, especially because it’s happening on two devices. Do you perhaps have another sd card to test with?
That does indeed sound like an sdcard permission issue. Strange bug, though. I’ve tested on S7 edge (stock Oreo), and S9+ (stock Q), and it’s working fine. This issue also has never been reported do far, and I believe that’s something people would’ve come across.
So it looks like an issue related to your device, or maybe to your particular chipset or OS version.
Can you tell us the specs of your tablet please? Maybe we can narrow it down somehow then. ?
