Re: unable to compile PCem under Linux

Good news. The main problem was with PinguyOS 18.04. It would not let me compile PCem in a Terminal without complaining about broken dependencies, and when I tried to install those ones, it gave me more dependencies to worry about, and then it went on and on until I just gave up. Even when I tried w...

Re: unable to compile PCem under Linux

It seems to get rid of the "C compiler cannot create executables" message, I needed to install g++. Now my output looks like this: checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/...

unable to compile PCem under Linux

I am a new Linux user that switched over from macOS, and I am trying to compile under Pinguy 18.04 (which is based on Ubuntu 18.04). I made sure that I had sdl2, wxWidgets, and OpenAL installed first. But when I enter "./configure --enable-release", it returns with this error: 'C compiler ...

Strange, I just completed Mission 13 again and the teleported worked this time. I don't know why it didn't work the first time. Maybe the game punished me for taking too long ... lol

Re: [BUG] Crusader: No Remorse - teleporter does not work

It is a quicksave file where I saved before the point before I have to walk to the teleporter. The save games are labeled "savegame.x(y)", and there are 9 of them, so I can't figure out which one is the quick save. https://mega.nz/#!fhBkGCCC!QIVpjmgeYmQiCWd9z2I_VWNLcnmreEvGnKPTI5oAcgs Unzi...

[BUG] Crusader: No Remorse - teleporter does not work

In Mission 13, you are supposed to free Sgt. Brooks from WEC prison, and then follow her through the teleporter next to her cell so that you return to base. But when you play this game through PCem, nothing ever happens even though it is activated. I don't think this is the result of a configuration...

Re: request save state feature

They can be useful for games like Grand Theft Auto where you are forced to complete an entire section (which is quite long) for the game to automatically save your progress.

Sarah, DOSBox Daum Cafe already has save state support. You could look at the code and try to implement it in PCem.

Re: v13 - Mouse Issues

I just found out that it was a problem with Wine, not PCem. Changing Wine's screen mode to X11 instead of Mac Driver makes the mouse go fast, but it tends to jump to a random position as I move it.

The PS/2 option seems to work (mouse = 2), but the problems with the cursor is still there, no matter what Render options I tried (OpenGL, Direct3D, and Software are available, OpenGL 3.0 is not.) I don't use VSync at all.

I have a config attached if it helps.

In v13, mouse support seems to be broken. When I used the previous stable release, the mouse supports worked perfectly fine under both MS-DOS and Windows 95, when using the "Microsoft 2-button mouse (serial)" option. But in v13, Windows 95 does not detect the mouse at all, and the mouse wo...
