VincetheVoodooDoll: Lutris, PoL and the .play scripts are a pretty good set of tools given with that I've gotten 90% of my GOG library running without a lot of issue.
vv221: Nice ;)
Feel free to share the names of the remaining 10%, maybe some of us can help in getting them to run too.
Unfortunately their all Windows based, or have issues in other departments - like Interstate 76 with it's FPS bugs, Archimedean Dynasty just for some reason having low frames in regular DOSBox, with the bundled version or under WINE (I think I got that spelling correct lol) and Blood 2 (although between you and me I'm not losing sleep over that not running).
I mean, shoot if you can help I'd appreciate it but 90% is still an A- lol.
VincetheVoodooDoll: Any way to keep it from crashing or to keep it from messing with my resolution?
WinterSnowfall: Sorry for the late reply. For those few games where you have to start things using .bat files, using call usually gets you out of any wierd situations on exit.
Here's what I have in my Simcity 2000 DOSBox conf file under the [autoexec] section:
[autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup. @ECHO OFF mount c: SimCity_2000 c: imgmount d "SC2000SE.DAT" -t iso -fs iso call SC2000.BAT exit As to the resolution, you can use
fullresolution=desktop sometimes, which will stretch the game to the resolution you're currently using, but it won't always look pretty and won't always work. Other times games won't work at all unless you go down this route. Dungeon Keeper I believe is one of the few games that only work with this setting in effect.
An alternative would be to have screen resize scripts ready in the upper left corner of your desktop :D. Call me a barbarian, but that's how I do it. Here an example for 1080p:
xrandr --output `xrandr | grep " connected"|cut -f1 -d" "` --mode 1920x1080 --scale 1x1 --panning 1920x1080 I'd tried your method and I'm still having issues. Although this time I just hit CTRL-F9 (or ALT-F9? still at the office can't recall 100%) and it'll kick me out and shut off DOSBox but my resolution remains stretched and zoomed in if the 'fullscreen' command works at all.
I'm currently stuck with a Laptop running around 1336x768, and even in my native DOSBox I can't get the resolution to alter. This is using the dosbox-jz version available on the Ubuntu software repository, I dunno if DOSBox-X can give any extra help or not. Although I'm willing to try.
This method however DID fix a mouse issue and my sound not playing correctly so I'm going in the right direction.
