#Dosbox alttab out return fullscreen install#
Please note that if you have already installed the game in c:\tombraid, that earlier installation of yours is not going to be affected in the least by the current dosbox-related install process.Īt any rate it's like the old one never happened for dosbox, the 2 batch files will take care that the installation be reenacted from scratch, as necessary, and under the hood will generate a new instance of it all automagically routing it to the brand new c:\dosbox\tombraid folder. Run the game as usual via Run Dosbox TR1.bat (the longer version: in all 23 lines reading: REM set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib delete the REM at the beginning so it becomes set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib only) In practice do a quick multiple find/replace: Then in the popup menu left-click on edit) To (don't run it by left, or double-left, clicking on it, right-click on it, Locate Run Dosbox TR1.bat in c:\tombraid or wherever you extracted it You can try and improve it by tweaking the settings this way: If the visual quality of the game doesn't satisfy you (I made sure that this tip will appear on screen at the right time) To close Dosbox when it's fullscreen, type: exit and press Enter.
To play afterwards, each time just run Run Dosbox TR1.batĪdded support for TR Unfinished Business too: When it's over don't play yet, better close both Tomb Raider and Dosbox now either on the fly right in the Winzip box, or in advance in Windows, before extracting the zip, or else you can always extract the whole zip contents in any folder of your choice and then work it from thereĪs the usual TR1 install menu appears, proceed normally with customary installation routineĪccept the c:\tombraid destination although actually it's fake (no worry-see more explanations on this in a moment) If no such folder exists yet, because you never installed TR1 on your machine, there's no problem at all. Then extract all files from this zip e.g. Insert TR1 cdrom, if/when Windows autoruns it, refuse and close the window

The glide patch (extract all files to the dosbox directory, that is c:\program files\DOSBox-0.72 overwriting every file as needed), Look up there among dosbox downloads and grab both Quick start, for WinXP/Vista 32bit versions If I succeeded in making it simple yet effective, you try out and get back to tell me. First time one click to install, thereafter one click when it's time to play. My aim was: click once and you're through. You only need to run a couple of batch files who know what to do for you.

Let's hope this can be fixed somehow.This tutorial, instead of a possible excruciating series of 157 cascading instructions to attentively follow through, is fairly short and (hopefully) quite simple to applyīecause it includes a handful of files I made to ease the install and play procedures required. I suspect the file we need to fix is "src/gui/sdlmain.cpp", because that's where the pause functions are.
#Dosbox alttab out return fullscreen code#
I'm not a programmer myself, but I will try to look at the code and figure out what the problem is. I can also see that someone opened a bug ticket at sourceforge: but it hasn't been fixed yet. Maybe an infinite loop or recursion somewhere because of how severe the slowdown is? It must be the code that processes the events that send the window into the background and foreground.
This means that the bug is not in the code that pauses Dosbox.
What's interesting is that pressing the PAUSE key to pause and unpause does not slow down the game. You can also leave Dosbox by clicking the mouse outside the window, then bring it back by clicking the taskbar icon. Also, it doesn't have anything to do with the keyboard. For example, Quake will eventually run at 1 fps. This becomes obvious when you press alt+tab ten times in a row. The game will drastically slow down each time you press alt+tab. While playing, press alt+tab to leave Dosbox, then press alt+tab again to return. Copy code to clipboard 1 priority=higher,pause
