DroidDOS WIP03 b.27022011 - waiting for some hero :)

Oh, if i guess right, the whole issue with garbled screen on higher res devices is due to this simple formula: 360-104 = 256. What a bummer :). Now build, that hopefully fixes it, is now awaiting for some hero here.

  2. It still crashes on the Droid X. Would you like a LogCat of it?

  6. That's ok. If nobody tells you the bug is there, then it's hard to fix :)

    Btw, what can i do when droiddos freezes? I know that when there's a crash i can copy the logcat, but is that also the case when a freeze occurs? How can i report these issues to you?

  7. tomaswoj:It now works great!
    However, after each set to re-enter, will lead to crash, but re-entered just fine.

  9. Matt, from the logcat it looks it cannot find dosbox.conf in /sdcard directory (so /sdcard/dosbox.conf). Are U sure you have put that file (from *.zip archive) into this directory on your phone? Otherwise, with the current DroidDOS S/W, it will not work. My code currently assumes, you have /sdcard/dosbox.conf file. Please double check it.

  12. Hi Anonymous, can U please double check you have dosbox.conf file (you need to take it from one of previous *.zips on that blog, as 27022011 build was just for download as plain *.apk file) on your phone/tab in /sdcard/ folder. If not - that is the likely reason for fail. Anyway seems i need to add some check upfront, that will display a nice dialog box, whenever this file is missing. So You will see a nice indicator, what possibly went wrong, when DroidDos fails to start.
