Hey, just tried it, works for me, got to mission 3, music and sound effects are normal. I run it with my all purpose configuration.

to me it's crashing on mission 4, if I stay low with cycles (5000)
if I use a high value (10000) it crashes right after the intro

You should both share your config, to see what's going on on Tetsuo's side.

@niuus I believe he's using the conf from this post. I will post my own conf later
Hey, @Tetsuo Shima, your changes really made a difference :bow:, thank you. The incredible machine 1 and 2 run great, had to add 2 frameskips so the music dont stutter when you hit play, 8070 cycles both. This is my new basic configuration

With this configuration these games run great: A-train, Batlebugs, Caesar 2, cannon fodder 1 and 2, dinopark, lemmings, o no more lemmings, mario teaches typing, simcity 2000 (frameskip 2, avoid music issues), simcity classic, sim farm (frameskip 3, avoid music issues), simant, simearth, syndicate, theme hospital (in low res), utopia, starwars dark forces (with dos32a and zooming out in the game options).
Im running Z with 10500 cycles.

System Shock with dos32a, 8600 cycles, fs 2, and graphics low. For me this is the best configurtion so far; still a little slow but playable.

For me Dungeon Keeper plays best with machine vgaonly, 20000 cycles (slowdown in the introduction of eversmile), dos32a seemed to make it slower. It runs pretty fast with camera zoomed in and overhead view, it slows down the farther you zoom out. Havent played it much.

Command and conquer red alert works great with memsize 32 and 13000 cycles (it takes some time to load), but I cant get the music to work (sound effects work) or the videos to play. The game starts with music volume at zero, when I turn it up at the game options and then return to the game in progress it gets stuck in a black screen, dosbox still works.
I tried mounting the iso file of the allies or soviet cds (imgmount d "path-to-the-ISO.iso" -t iso), and then running the exe file (same problem), and also the setup file (it works without sound and doesnt detect any sound cards and then it crashes back to the wii menu). Any ideas?

@NiteOwl you can try with a different sound blaster type, or try with another soundboard like Roland or Gravis Ultrasound if the game allows it.
I'd try with sbmixer=false too. Not sure about it, Dosbox is such a bad beast.

@niuus here's my current Cannon Fodder .conf

I got it working as far as Mission 3, no amount of tweaking got me any further (couldn't get beyond Mission 1 with Tetsuo's conf?!)

Think I'll stick with the SNES port. :)

yes, it was working until mission 3 before but then I've changed the cycles and now only mission 1 works.
I agree with you, I've tried to change configurations multiple times with all kinds of settings, but nothing seems to work. Sooner or later it will crash, and mouse is always wonky

Hey, im using the floppy version of Cannon Fodder, it asks for the copy protection. I got to mission 4 phase 3, not in one sitting, I loaded a file and started in mission 3. No crashes, no problems in sound or music. Im using my all purpose configuration.

Also got microsoft flight simulator 5.1 (cd) to work. I runs fairly well but there are some audio bugs when the game starts loading and some slowdowns when opening more windows or when the plane takes off or crashes, but after a few seconds the game catches its breath, you can also increase the simulation speed to x2 in the sim options. Im playing with sound blaster, sb16 was giving me more audio bugs.
It crashes sometimes, always when pressing home button.
This is my config (memsize 32 or 63 worked fine)

# This is the configuration file for DOSBox 0.74. (Please use the latest version of DOSBox)
# Lines starting with a # are comment lines and are ignored by DOSBox.
# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.

[sdl]
# fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. (Press ALT-Enter to go back)
# fulldouble: Use double buffering in fullscreen. It can reduce screen flickering, but it can also result in a slow DOSBox.
# fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
# Using your monitor's native resolution with aspect=true might give the best results.
# If you end up with small window on a large screen, try an output different from surface.
# windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
# (output=surface does not!)
# output: What video system to use for output.
# Possible values: surface, overlay.
# autolock: Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen. (Press CTRL-F10 to unlock)
# sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity.
# waitonerror: Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
# priority: Priority levels for dosbox. Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
# pause is only valid for the second entry.
# Possible values: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, pause.
# mapperfile: File used to load/save the key/event mappings from. Resetmapper only works with the defaul value.
# usescancodes: Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.

# captures: Directory where things like wave, midi, screenshot get captured.
# memsize: Amount of memory DOSBox has in megabytes.
# This value is best left at its default to avoid problems with some games,
# though few games might require a higher value.
# There is generally no speed advantage when raising this value.

language=
machine=vesa_noflb
captures=capture
memsize=63

[render]
# frameskip: How many frames DOSBox skips before drawing one.
# aspect: Do aspect correction, if your output method doesn't support scaling this can slow things down!.
# scaler: Scaler used to enlarge/enhance low resolution modes. If 'forced' is appended,
# then the scaler will be used even if the result might not be desired.
# Possible values: none, normal2x, normal3x, tv2x, tv3x, rgb2x, rgb3x, scan2x, scan3x.

# Possible values: auto, 386, 386_slow, 486_slow, pentium_slow, 386_prefetch.
# cycles: Amount of instructions DOSBox tries to emulate each millisecond.
# Setting this value too high results in sound dropouts and lags.
# Cycles can be set in 3 ways:
# 'auto' tries to guess what a game needs.
# It usually works, but can fail for certain games.
# 'fixed #number' will set a fixed amount of cycles. This is what you usually
# need if 'auto' fails (Example: fixed 4000).
# 'max' will allocate as much cycles as your computer is able to
# handle.
# Possible values: auto, fixed, max.

Good news for F1 lovers! Geoff Crammond's masterpiece F1GP (aka World Circuit) is running flawlessly on Dosbox Wii!
I'm running version 1.05 of the game.
Maximum details and FPS, not a single hiccup and responsive and precise controls. I think I've never seen a DOS game running this good on the Wii, a real joy to play.
So let's give it the "Royal Treatment"!:yaywii:
I've mapped the Classic Controller with analog controls, the best way to play it seriously. Select Joystick as control method from the game menu. Each time you launch the game you'll have to calibrate the joystick, a little annoyance but the process will take only a few seconds.
Download F1GP .conf and .map files
Here is a cover for Wiiflow. Conf and covers are named with the US name (World Circuit) to get snapshot and gameinfo from the database.
World Circuit.conf.png
And here is a picture with the mapped controls:
World Circuit (F1GP).png

On a secondary note, another excellent news
:
I've discovered how to fully display games that are exceeding the Wii vertical resolution, and it's actually easier than I thought.
F1GP was one of those games, but now everything is visible, despite small black bars around the image.

You only have to use this setting in your .conf:
aspect=false
You'll have a stretched image on a 16:9 TV, so you can use your TV settings to set it to 4:3.
I don't know why it took so long for me to discover this

So @retro100 there's no need to do modifications at source code level
Furthermore, using joysticktype=fcs you can map any key you want to the D-pad.
I hope this can be helpful to you

i am using your .conf file

joysticktype=fcs
timed=false
autofire=false
swap34=false
buttonwrap=false
ok. Are you using the classic controller's left stick for horizontal axis and the right stick for the vertical axis?
Are you using original wiimote/CC controllers?

1- yes
2- yes i am using original Wiimote / CC controllers
Ok here are the values I see when calibrating:

Left Stick (Horizontal axis)
- full left... 00001
- full right.. 00133
- center...... 00065


Right Stick (Vertical axis)
- full forward... 00006
- full backward.. 00128
- center......... 00065


Are you seeing different values?
It's weird, I've tried on 2 different Wii's with separate controllers, and I get the same exact values.

Cool, ill try it later today.

"aspect = false" fixes the display issue only in some games, like System Shock. Its not helping in Simcity 2000, Fallout, Transport tycoon, etc.

Also got simtower to work with windows 3.1, but no sound and weird colors. I installed s3 drivers but not I cant start windows, and it says there is a ring transition failure

Yes, true. I've noticed it too after futher testings. For example, it works for Alien Breed but not for Alien Breed Tower Assault (my favourite one :()
