Default The "Get DOSBox 0.73" drive
Quote:
DOSBox 0.73 has been released!

Most noticeable changes:
  • Support for more graphics modes and cards.
  • Improved Vista support.
  • New OPL emulation cores.
  • Sound fixes and improvements for Mac OS X.
  • Lots of compatibility fixes.
  • Lots of cdrom detection improvements.
  • Lots of memory (EMS/XMS) improvements.
  • Various fixes and enhancements for the recompiling core.
  • Support for evdev.
  • Lots of DOS fixes.
  • Slightly faster!
  • More stable.
You can check the full changes here.
Today, DOSBox 0.73 has finally been released and it comes with tons of improvements and can be downloaded HERE.

Please update to this version of DOSBOx if you're still using an older version. It will make the life of all of us who help visitors run old games, a lot easier.

If you find that DOSBox 0.73 no longer runs a game or is causing new problems (although this is unlikely to happen), please post them here. We can then contact the DOSBox team to fix it.

Well, now it's time to update the DOSBox database - over 1200 games to test, woo.

Weird. I'm getting slightly different music in Supaplex. I have played Supaplex on real DOS and never heard anything like this. But it sounds better than with 0.72 (or DOS) so no complaints here.

I'm still having problems with Dark Legions.

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.

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).
