DOSBox Staging Basics
Today: Brand new „Getting started“ guide
With the new DOSBox Staging 0.81 RC1 out the door, we also created a brand new „Getting Started“ guide.
If you are new to DOSBox or didn’t tinker with it in a while it makes sense to take a look, we promise!
It describes everything you need to know to get your favorite games running in no time, in the least steps possible!
Also explains advanced configuration like different graphic modes, soundfonts and MT-32 emulation.
@DOSBox_Staging What are the minimum system requirements to run "Beneath a Steel Sky" with DOSBox Staging?
On an eleventh generation i7 with 16 GB of RAM (and an Xe Graphics (TGL GT2) card), I have major sound problems during the opening scene, and before setting the number of CPU cycles as indicated in this tutorial, DOSBox crashes before the opening scene. Playing with the renice command I got some improvements, but it's still not satisfactory.
The hardware requirements aren't the problem here, it runs on much slower machines.
That crash shouldn't happen using cycles=auto (default), report that as a bug if you want.
After using cycles=12000 you can adjust ist using Ctrl+F11 and Ctrl+F12 shortcuts to maybe improve the sound further. For me (Mac mini M2) the game works great using 12000 though.
Drop by our Discord or raise a ticket on GitHub if you have further issues.
