Homebrew Emulation Is dosbox pure 0.9.7 available for the switch yet?

[Topaz95]

I want to play some windows 9x games on my switch but when I try to update the core in retroarch, the version is still on 0.11.
However according to m4xw's github page https://github.com/m4xw/dosbox-pure it says he updated his fork of dosbox pure on july 19.

I'm not seeing anything bout an update for the switch. Also it would be a separate core from dosbox. So just trying to update dosbox core isn't gonna turn into dosbox pure

Is the switch capable of playing dos games at an acceptable level? Anytime I've tried to run fallout, blood or anything early to mid 90's it's 2fps

Depends on the game, I've been playing Warcraft 2 for years with no issues

The build is on the discord but not upstreamed, works great.. managed to build and boot into a Windows 98 image

Yeah I've played plenty of games using the dosbox svn retroarch core on switch. I've mostly played games that require windows 3.1 but rest assured dos games work full speed.

Can you show/tell me which discord server you are referring to?

 

[Don Jon]

Can you show/tell me which discord server you are referring to?

so is there an update somewhwere?

 

[randy_w]

Does anyone know where to get the latest dosbox builds? The online updater from retroarch only has some very old builds

 

[Thorhax]

Can you show/tell me which discord server you are referring to?

did you ever find out?

 

[mathew77]

Please attach an .nro with the build.

 

[godreborn]

Maybe someone can test my dos build of sm64?

 

[spriteice]

did you ever find out?

I believe it is the RetroNX discord server, and to have access to the 0.9.7 dosbox pure core you must be a patreon for m4xw.

you must be a patreon for m4xw.

Ah, the glorious paywall, we meet again.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

Any game I try to play runs like ass.

Just wanna play Cybermage, bros.

Do the files need to be in a particular format? I know there's dosbox ready builds and stuff then there's the raw dos files etc

Ah, the glorious paywall, we met again.

you are talking about a wall? That's how different the perceptions of the same thing can be. presumably the electricity and the coffee you drink while writing this comment cost you a similar amount of money.

It's one dollar to get early access, feature requests and support, pretty terrible wall

I spent a buck and joined and looked for it and he says dosbox pure has been broke for two years.

You owe me a pound.

 

[randy_w]

I tried all three of them (dosbox, dosbox pure and dosbox svn) and gave up, mostly due to keyboard issues.
Using a logitech wireless KB/M and only a few keys work. Tried changing input/config and didn't change anything.
