Bad idea. :no: Do not mix them.

If you want a dosbox.conf in your dosbox folder let dosbox write a new one, adapted to 0.73.

dosbox -> readme -> 4. Internal Programs -> CONFIG -writeconf localfile

[Edit]
Or open the dosbox 0.73 config file (start menu -> dosbox 0.73-> configuration) and use
'save as' -> 'all files' -> 'dosbox.conf' -> point to your dosbox 0.73 folder.
Not as 'dosbox-0.73.conf', that doesn't work in the dosbox folder.

I'm still having problems with Dark Legions.

try running sound setup and playing with music card, try adlib

get dosbox 0.73 or die

Which is weird because I don't play DOS games. I just stay here because of the community.

You mean in Supaplex? That won't change anything and I don't even want to change it since it sounds better than before.

If you meant Dark Legions, the sound setup fails if I choose Adlib.

Japo,

A quick guess but with the %localappdata% environmental variable under Vista linking to a machine only application configuration storage and %appdata% links to roaming storage the designers did not want the DosBox configuration being copied to a corporation server if installed on a work machine.

Probably a good decision that will keep some people out of trouble.

It was about time DOSBox installed by default could be used without admin rights. I just wonder why they chose to store the profile in %localappdata& instead of %appdata%?

No wonder, did you notice this new feature:

New OPL emulation cores.

There are new settings for sound emulation - I've also noticed subtle changes as I updated dosbox while playing IJ&FOTA. Seach the new conf file (compare with old) - can't quote it here right now (I'm sitting on different system ATM).

The current time is 01:00 PM (GMT)
