how can you make keyboard / lower menu dissapear to get full screen ?

In the SVGA games (640x480px) the menu/keyboard disappears automatically (obviously the resolution is downscaled to 320x240px)... in the CGA, EGA and VGA games the horizontal lines are 200, so the menu/keyboard uses the 40 lines which remain unused...

zerox86 version 0.05 released!

This version has the following fixes and improvements:
- Implemented simple CD-ROM emulation.
- Implemented joystick support.
- Fixed PC Timer 2 handling.
- Added a new Power Off key to the virtual keyboard.
- Added a separate error message for invalid SB configuration.
- Fixed several bugs causing Tempest 2000 not to run.
- Fixed crashes and unsupported situations in various games.

See http://zerox86.patrickaalto.com/ for download links and information. Be sure to read my blog posts at http://zerox86.patrickaalto.com/zblog.html for more information about the changes in this version.

Thank you for your interest in zerox86, and for your work on the compatibility wiki! I worked on several games marked as "Not Working" on the wiki, so if you have time to re-test those games in this version, I would very much appreciate that!  :)

Thanks Pate! The virtual power off key is very useful! :)

I tested some games with the new release and I updated the related items in the compatibility list... Bio Menace still gives the "unsupported situation" error (like in the previous release)... I don't know, maybe I'm testing a faulty version of the game!

Nice blog entry!
Also, would it be possible to add a way of changing the .ini settings from the program? a special button on the virtual keyboard or something?

Yep, I did. Had to set the CDROM path, nothing beyond it. It runs a little bit slow though and without the music.

@Pate: considering there is still room for another key (similar to the Power Off button), an idea could be a key to reset the zerox86 (without the need to exit and re-launch the emu) or a key to select/force a specific "user config"...

I downloaded Bio Menace from te official website (3drealms.com)... inside the zipped file there is an additional executable (BioPatch.exe), if you apply this, before to launch the game, all works well! :)

Duke Nukem 2 works quite well on Zerox86 with only some minor sound glitches ;D

That made my day!

@Pate: in the next release you could add the option to configure the d-pad as a joystick (DPAD=JOYSTICK)... in some games, like Prince of Persia, it may be useful... :)

Thanks for all.. you are doing awesome job!

Btw for some reason the new version (0.05) won't execute autoexec.bat. I just got message autoexec.bat
  • Batch file missing "C:\autoexec.bat".
