Can't find dosbox. #18

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run Dbox2
2. Add game.
3. Attempt to start game

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the game to launch. Instead it asked for the location of the
doxbox executable, which is silly in ubuntu.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Dbox2, Ubuntu Jaunty

Please provide any additional information below.

It can be made to work by simply typing "dosbox" into the location, this is 
hardly
intuitive. It needs to attempt this on it's on.

It isn't silly to ask for an executable in Ubuntu, you need programs on such 
systems
too:) Anyway: D-Box will now (in the next release) try to execute dosbox if it's
located in the system's path. Thank you for posting!

I'm new to ubuntu, but I've never seen a single .exe file that I didn't drag in 
from
my old windows install. Ubuntu doesn't work like windows is what I meant. :P :)

Sweet, thank you, great app BTW. Is there a way to make it let go of the mouse? 
Once
it's captured it will not alt tab or even ctrl-alt-del. Maybe a quick kill 
hotkey? Or
is that more dosbox's problem?

Are there hotkeys for speeding and slowing the CPU while its in play? Hard to 
find
that sweet spot quitting and restarting especially given that you can't quick 
kill it.

I love your focus on ease of use. It's refreshing to see a developer take such 
good
care of the non experts.

One more thing while I'm being a greedy bugger, a button that creates a 
bashscript
desktop shortcut would Rock. 

May the code gods bless you kind sir :)
