Even their settings, such as the distinct Shadow Warrior Classic settings exe.

In my previous system, only Mortal Kombat pack would do that. Now, at 64 bit environment, all DosBox is green dead thing big screen wang!

Any advice...? Pretty please with sugar on top?

Have you tried setting them to another output renderer?

OK, I am running on W8.1 with a 64 bit environment and are having no problems.

But what I did in the beginning, I did install directx 9.0c, which helped a lot.. IIRC even some of the old games use directx3 or similar which is included in 9 but not 10 onwards.

Give it a try and let us know ;)

Normally all dos box games shall run with default settings....never had to play around with it.....

One other thing you might want to try, check for updates for the graphic card, or even use e prior version, sometimes this helps as well.

Does it happen on fullscreen DOSBox? If yes, you might want to try this.

Please try this, KiNgBrAdLeY7 : http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/DOSBox#Green_or_black_screen_in_fullscreen_mode

Green or black screen in fullscreen mode •

Information With some video cards, DOSBox's default output mode will render with a green or black screen in fullscreen mode.

Edit DOSBox configuration file (non-GOG.com versions)
Edit the DOSBox configuration file (dosbox-0.74.conf, dosbox.conf, or similar).
Change output=surface to output=overlay
Save your changes and run the game again.
If the problem persists, edit it again and try different modes until you get one that works.

Run Graphic Mode Setup (GOG.com versions)
Run the game's Graphic Mode Setup in the Start Screen/Start Menu.
Change Graphic mode to "Overlay" or "DDraw".
Choose Save Settings and run the game again.
If the problem persists, run it again and try different modes until you get one that works.

To change the renderer, just go to the "Dosbox configurator" shortcut for any given game (it should be in the game's directory and the game's entry in the start menu of Windows. It's basically a program that allows you to change certain parts of DOSbox's configuration.
Just try different options in the "Output" setting and check whether it helps at all.

You can also get full control of DOSbox by going to the game's directory and editing the .conf file.

See them as two different series: up to 9 (including), and 10-and-above. The two different series can co-exist, but not different versions within each series.

...And for that... CTRL+F1 ... Tada!!! DOSBox Mapper!

http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Mapper

:)

Also Don't forget about the other Special Keys:

http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Special_Keys

Special Keys

These are the default keybindings. They can be changed using the keymapper.

Note: If you're using a Mac and are having trouble with the function keys, you may need to set your F keys to function as function keys. You can do this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard, going to the Keyboard area, and checking the "Use all F1, F2, etc" box.

ALT-ENTER Switch to full-screen (and back).
ALT-PAUSE (ALT-F16 on OS X) Pause emulation.
CTRL-F1 Show the keymapper configuration screen,
CTRL-F4 Update cached information about mounted drives. Useful if you changed something on a mounted drive outside of DOSBox. Also cycles through disk images mounted using IMGMOUNT.
CTRL-F5 Save a screenshot (goes to capture folder).
CTRL-ALT-F5 Start/Stop recording of AVI video. NOTE: You may well have some problems with this, please see Recording Video for more information.
CTRL-F6 Start/Stop recording sound output to a wave file (goes to capture folder).
CTRL-ALT-F7 Start/Stop recording of OPL commands.
CTRL-ALT-F8 Start/Stop the recording of raw MIDI commands.
CTRL-F7 Decreases frameskip.
CTRL-F8 Increases frameskip.
CTRL-F9 Kill (close) DOSBox.
CTRL-F10 Capture/Release the mouse (if you need to use the mouse within DOSBox).
CTRL-F11 Decrease DOSBox cycles (slows down the emulation).
CTRL-F12 Increase DOSBox cycles (speeds up the emulation).
ALT-F12 Unlock speed (turbo button).

These default bindings are also documented in the README file accompanying the software.

Language Keys

When a keyboard layout is loaded:

CTRL+ALT+F2 Switch between foreign layout and US layout.
LEFT-ALT+RIGHT-SHIFT Activate dual layouts (for some keyboards, e.g. GK codepage 869 and RU codepage 808).
LEFT-ALT+LEFT-SHIFT Deactivate dual layouts.

For OS X you have to use additionally + [Applekey] for the same result

INS key is [Fn] + M on OS X.

For Linux you have to use additionally + [win] for the same result

Thanks! But i put it wrongly (damn my low communications skill)... I meant the individual game's button map... When game runs in DosBox, all keyboard buttons remain totally unresponsive...
