Woah, thanks pal! I didn't knew about this one :-)

I play Fighting Games since I like documenting and doing research on them.
Some run like shit and I need to step up my game on CPU speed issues or remapping the keyboard (Korean games are notorious for this since they usually use Tab and Shift as buttons)

Also I use the Dfend Reloaded frontend cause I'd rather have a couple of icons to just click and play instead of relying on the command line.

>>8459465
>Dfend Reloaded
Is there any way to get this thing to auto-populate based on directories with .conf files or whatever?

>>8459472
I was gonna ask the same thing since all the games I got in there don't have shit as far as config or information goes.
The only one that had some sort of autocfg/info was One Must Fall 2097.

>>8459465
>D-Fend Reloaded
Absolutely based

>>8459429
I've been playing Lemmings lately, it's interesting and kinda fun.

Space Fuel Inc is another cool game, and a very recent one.

i tried the retroarch core for the shaders but i didn't spend much on it and try figure out how to set the keyboard or something

>>8459429
Dos box filters me hard so nothing.

>>8459472
>>8459479
You mean from a larger collection of games like eXoDOS? I don't think there is.

>>8459487
>dosbox in retroarch
Don't even bother.

>>8459479
Where do you download Dos Games from?

>>8459429
Right now? Not many.

>>8459510
Exodos.

>>8459504
>eXoDOS
This seems pretty cool, will look into it when I get home.

>>8459510
I usually use these sites:

https://www.old-games.ru/
>Amazing, has a lot of obscure stuff I couldn't find otherwise. Also has a couple of ready to go virtual windows setups for those difficult to emulate games. It's in russian but use google translate and you'll be fine.

https://www.myabandonware.com/
Pretty easy to navigate and has games from other home computers like Amiga.

https://www.old-games.com/
I both love and hate this site. Sometimes it's the only place I can find some games, but it has a stupid timer/limit thing so use sparingly.

http://www.abandonia.com/
Used to check abandonia a lot, nowadays not so much. It has some nice reviews.

http://www.abandonsocios.org/
Lots of great stuff here, but the forum layout can be a bitch to go through.
Also it's in spanish.

You looking for something specific anon?

DOSbros, check out GLADIATOR

https://www.myabandonware.com/game/gladiator-1n8

Pretty sure the registered version is available for free now by the developers. If this version isn't the registered version, let me know, I'll hook you up with mine.

I love this game bros. It's not that good actually, but I played it as a good so it's automatically awesome.

Requires DOSJP.COM for the Japanese fonts.
DOS/V might be able to display Japanese fonts.

Did you guys know DOSBox-X now supports PC-98 mode? It's pretty neat. Now you can play all your toehoes and hentai games in the same place.

>>8459570
>>8459567
>>8459561
You will never be Japanese and you can stop spamming this game that nobody else will play now

>>8459546
Thank you! I really appreciate this

And I'm not really looking for something specific, I just want to dive myself into the dosbox catalog.

>>8459561
This is Taikou Rishiden, right?
I played the genesis port and remember really liking how free it felt.
Like, not even 2 seconds in and I already could either go with the army and get the cutscenes and SRPG battle or go on my own and be a wandering Samurai and have cool 1v1 battles.

Does it have a translation or something?

>>8459616
No problemo anon.
If there's any particular genre you like just shoot and maybe I can give you some recs.

>>8459646
Well, I actually like space shooters quite a lot.

>>8459560
Doesn't get much more "Mid-90's shareware" than that.

>>8459624
Taikou Risshiden 2 for DOS (ported from PC-98).
In Taikou Risshiden 2 you start as Hideyoshi, but after completing the game you can start as either Akechi Mitsuhide, Shibata Katsuie, or a new character (choose portrait, age, name).
Hideyoshi, Mitsuhide and Katsuie are Nobunaga's officers.
New character is a ronin (wandering samurai) and must find a lord to serve.
You can resign your job and become a wandering samurai.
>translation
Chinese translation.

What do you gain from selecting or leveling tea ceremony skill?

>>8459702
Enable tea ceremony and increase chance in diplomacy for gaining imperial ranks.
You rarely need tea ceremony skill, it's a rare order from your lord and once you become a lord you order your officers to do it for you.

>>8459717
You got a download link for this version of the game somewhere? What do I need to make this run in DOSBox?

>>8459676
This is so good! Thanks anon!

>>8459729
You need something to display the Japanese fonts.
I used to use DOS/V in 90s, but I use DOSJP in DOSBOX.
There're some chink sites where you can download but I think it's the Chinese translated version.
Good luck downloading from chink sites, they're a major pain in the ass with their great firewall.

>>8459751
I'll look into it. Thanks.

>>8459429
>dosbox
only game worth playing was xcom apocalypse but we are getting a reverse engineered modern version of that like openxcom so... dosbox? more like, whoneedsitbox

>>8459757
I can upload it if you want.

>>8459757
>post download link
4chan thinks my post is a spam.

Set the CPU speed to at least 10000 or you'll have long loading time.
Ctrl+F12 = increase speed
Ctrl+F11 = decrease speed

>>8459861
you can alter it. Add some spaces and type out the DOTs and such. Should go through then. Thanks

>>8459879
>>8459880
Thanks downloading later. I'm in bed already.

>>8459881
Had tried adding space and replacing . with dot.
4chan didn't like it.
It was an anonfiles link.
Replaced it with catbox.

>>8459429
Why would anyone need to use dosbox in the current year? There is so many better options

>>8459884
Type play in the game folder to start it.
DOSJP is already included.

>>8459891
I've tried PCem, but it uses the same trusty old and fucking broken Soundblaster emulation as Dosbox. I was curious about x86Box but they too, use the same shitty old Soundblaster driver. But it's just a handful of games that really suffer from this. I'm looking at you, Star Trek A Final Unity.
What other options are there?

>>8459920
MAME has a working 486 clone, but I can't speak for it's soundblaster support quality. It certianly lets you add a soundblaster to it's config.

>>8459891
can you give suggestions? been using dosbox X for the convenient mouse menu

>>8459429
Too complicated to use, sorry Boomie

>>8459920
>>8459953
>he doesn't know
Should I tell 'em?

>>8459429
I played Blake Stone: Alien Strike for the first time a few years back, i liked it, it uses the same game engine as Wolf3D.

>>8460050
These were savaged at the time, for coming out the same year as Doom .. and Alien Strike a year after, lol

>>8460050
Planet Strike.
Aliens of Gold was the first one.

>>8460012
Please do!

>>8460149
I stand corrected

>>8460012
>https://www.old-games.ru/
yes please

how to use gamepad in dosbox?

>>8459670
>doesn't get much more based than that
I know, the game fucking rocks

>>8459438
Based

>>8459487
What's wrong with the built-in shaders? RGB2x mimics a 14" SVGA crt monitor, but you can use TV2x/3x if you like playing Dos games on a televion.
I use Dosbox-Staging, shaders might be different in other forks.

>>8459429
Looking for recommendations of cutesy DOS games. Princess Maker 2 is what I had in mind but anything cute and old really, regardless of nation.

>>8460541
Doom

>>8459568
Oh cool. There were a few PC-98 games I wanted to try but I didn't want to mess with an emulator for that. I need to look what I wanted to play again

>>8460012
still waiting

>>8459751
DOSBox-X has built-in DOS/V support now.

>>8460541
Sorry, bro. You want cute shit, go over to the PC-98. Western DOS games were all about MANLY MEN shit.

Bump this shit. Why are Dobox threads so unsuccessful? Fucking console kids.

>>8459429
Not so long ago I tried MS-DOS/DOSBox and I like it. I am playing shmups (Raptor, SideLine, Tyrian, Stargunner), they are so good.

>>8459429
Is there an archive of like a massive amount of DOS games like they have on /t/ from time to time for other formats?

>>8462706
eXoDOS. https://www.retro-exo.com/exodos.html Grab the torrent.

Anyone here try dosbox on ps4 retroarch? I'm interested in trying that but I have quite a backlog of other stuff I need to go through before moving on to that

>>8462957
Thank you ever so kindly, my VGA nigga.

>>8460012
yeah why haven't u said anything?

>>8464405
DOSBox on Retroarch on a console? I can't think of a worse way to try and play old DOS games. Can you even connect a keyboard/mouse to it?

>>8460012
SPILL IT!
>inb4 d-fend

>>8459507
Why? Dosboxpure have a nice gamepad presets.

>>8459429
>What games does /vr/ play on dosbox?
Extreme Pinball, just because of the Medieval Knights board and awesome music.
Also Jazz Jackrabbit. You guessed it, also because of the music.

>>8465454
I wanna play Duke Nukem 1 and 2 with a controller

Incredible Machine recently. It aged really well. I'm halfway through.

Total Distortion. I start up a game of it every few years, and is the main reason I keep DOSBOX around.

Anyone played Prehistorik 2? What's up with the screen scrolling in this game? Did they do it on purpose to make it harder?

up

I tested dosbox on my ps4 and I do not recommend. Sound doesn't work, the rest does though.
