Sound emulation tips

Hi,

I've been trying to use Tomas Katz playtzx under dosbox, but sound quality is poor and frecuency seems slower (Lumia 925). Any tip how to tune for better sound emulation? :confused:

Thanks,

http://www.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/tools/pc/playtzx.zip
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Sorry, can't help you with that tool. BTW, what are you trying to achieve?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] rcmolina:
better sound

Just a probe of concept ... Playing old tzx tapes (sound) and using headphone connection to input to old 8 bit machine or emulator.

I know its a bit embarrasing, but for now I've not beeb able to play this directly on windows phone platform, no port yet. I've contacted with wintzx author, but only plans for Android.

So , I imaginne this option could be possible, onw windows 8/dosbox emulation is working pretty well.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Why don't you use PC to convert these files to .wav and than play 'em via PC headphones output (or phone jack if you want so)?

There are lot of utilities here http://www.worldofspectrum.org/utilities.html , take a look to Tape2WAV or TZX2WAV (both are working on Windows).
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] rcmolina:
Hi again,

Because windows phone it's not a trivia world .., and painful ¿?. I have no problems on other platforms, call me obstinated if you want.

1.- Yes I tried this before, just still under investigation. I get loading errors at ending with max volume (wav playing after tranferring to my Lumia 925), may need equalizer adjustment. still I don't know why. :confused:

2.- Space matters.. 8-15 MBs per wav, and just 48K per tzx file.

Regards,

[MENTION=624212]rcmolina[/MENTION], are you working with real ZX Spectrum? Hmm, it's funny :)

BTW, I believe, for better results you should try to use long audio cable connected to PC instead of phone, and experiment with sound volume and mono/stereo.

He-he, I saw a brand new ZX Spectrum +3 (with floppy drive) once in the thrift store for $50 but had no idea why do I need this guy :)
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] rcmolina:
Well, I'll have to wait for a brave man to port/compile this simple c program. Thanks anyway (from PC everything works ok), just wordering why windows phone is so embarrasing to do this simple audio load. :confused:
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
You'll be waiting not for the "brave man" but for stupid man :) The app you want is a just "one customer only app", nobody else wants/will use it. It's an easy to implement but it's just a waste of time. BTW, you may want to offer a money reward if you want this app badly...

Brave or stupid, it's not so easy to distinguish ... Anyway, none can expect to become millionaire. My bait/donation is just 20 euros for a basic port, it's just a hobby.

Don't forget to improve sound emulation for dosbox wp, it was the main objective for this post :)

[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] user32767:
Is it possible to do some magic with settings to play Heroes of Might and Magic on this emulator?

Game freezes when animation of the first player action in game is finished (not in the menu, it works fine, but on the map). This behaviour is steady and repeatable.

Heroes of Might and Magic 2 freezes depending on selected game modes. If Standard or Hot Seat is selected, game will freeze just before loading the map. If Campaign mode selected, game loads the map successfully, displays plot message, and freezes after closing this message.

In both cases only game freezes, DosBox itself remains fully functional.

mouse gestures and sync

First, thanks for the extensive reply on the support email. I will move discussion here so all can potentially benefit from it.

I was wondering about the right-click hold gesture, which is currently not possible, but is used quite often in some games. I gave an example with HoMM. Yes, a bluetooth mouse are cheap enough and surely does the job fine, but I think most people would like to game on their phones like they are killing time on a bus stop or in a long queue, or just waiting for somebody, mostly situation when using a mouse (provided you are constantly carrying it) is not very comfortable.

So I don't really know if it is possible, but generally a few gestures can be used and it would be best if they are configurable on which does what, because in some games something can be more suitable than others For example we can have

single tap, double tap, single-finger hold, two-finger tap, two-finger hold. These could be freely configured as we need them to single left-click, double left-click, single right-click, left hold button, right hold button, or even middle-button click/hold.

I don't know how much of this is possible put if can be done it would be a tremendous control improvement in my opinion. By the way.. two-finger gesture is nicely used in the ScummVM port for Android and does the job fine. Unless there is another OS restriction concerning this, of course :)

Regarding my questions about the sync I had. Would be nice if there is a checkbox in the resync options which tells dosbox to just wipe the path where the data of the C drive is copied and get whatever is in the SD-card folder. This way we could freely modify the data on the SD card using PC and normal copy-edit processes, even if sacrificing time for the re-sync.

Thanks again for the detailed replies on the mail. I am still using the software with great pleasure everyday, and I am just hoping it gets better
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Peter, as for mouse gestures, could you please check Android/iOS similar apps (i.e. DOSBox-ex implementation) and tell me, how it's implemented on these platforms (to save my time)?

As for synchronization, I should think about less sophisticated users than you; wiping everything is good if you know what are you doing. But other guys may lost games progresses or some work results (for example, if someone is using QuickC, Turbo Pascal or Turbo Basic on DOSBox) and will be very upset.

So, let me finish with W10M release and maybe we will be able to use sd-card directly - this will solve all problems with the synchro :)

How do I fix this ? Whenever I try to enter a command , It'd just add another "." to the command.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
[MENTION=6474238]inSecured[/MENTION], it's a DOS emulator so only proper DOS command will be accepted. Google for the DOS commands basic set; you may try to type "dir" ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] pdedinski:
Adding the "." is just the full-stop symbol at the end of the sentence, not added to the command ;)

Main DOS commands you would most likely use are

dir -> quivalent of linux "ls"

cd/chdir -> i think this is the same as in linux. changes the directory

md/mkdir -> creates a directory

Using /? after the command would show you the usage options, though in DOSBOX they are limited than the standard DOS

The only files you can execute have the .EXE, .COM and .BAT extensions with .BAT being a batch file script
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] inSecured:
Thanks for the reply. And my apologies. I didn't describe the problem right so, here's a screenshot of what I've been trying to do.

There are supposed to be many files in the folder I mounted, but whenever I try listing it , I got that instead. and launching the file (which is wspeed.exe) by typing it out doesn't help. And the folder is in the SD card.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
DOSBox got (finally, after seven tries!) a major update to version 2.0.1

There are two very important features in this version:

- DOSBox become W10M UWP app (it was WP8.1 UWP before this update)

- now you can avoid files synchronization by placing DOSBox home folder on the sd-card!

I strongly recommend to uninstall and reinstall app, to get rid from stored files on the app's local storage.

Other features added (but most for the paid version only):

- basic and extended Continuum support

- Xbox controllers support (tested with Xbox 360 & Xbox One controllers)

- extended support of MOGA controllers (tested with MOGA Boost but now should work with any MOGA BT controller)

Next week (starting this Sunday) app will be on sale, so hurry up! Also, please re-rate this version again even if you rated before (this is also important).

[UPDATE] Looks like version installed from store, has an issue with the sd-card access (another "surprise" from damn M$!). I don't know why, sorry. Buggy M$ products are real PAIN :(

Please sideload (install) attached version of this release.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] pdedinski:
Thanks for the great update.. The direct mount of the directory is a real improvement. Had to go through side-loading it, but it seems to work. Is the side-loaded app going to get automatic store update at some point when new versions appear ?

Also how to re-rate the app.. By using the Update button on ratings in the store ?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
You are welcome. No, sideloaded app can not be updated automatically. However I don't have currently other plans for improvements - other apps and new ideas are waiting for me :)

Yes, you can update your review if you already installed app from the store. I'm asking to re-rate 'cause of another stupidity of MS - by default, it shows only rating and reviews for the latest release only, i.e. if you have a great app with thousands of good reviews but release a new version and some ungrateful idiots will rate it low, your app will looks like 90% useless apps at windows store...
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] rcmolina:
Can't get to work anymore!! Just update the app from the store. After it can't start, unsintalling and installing again the app from the store does not solve the issue. Any help guide?

Thanks!!

[MENTION=624212]rcmolina[/MENTION], try restart your handset first. Next time please provide your phone model and OS version (just mark, I don't support buggy ms betas at all so if you are on some "fast ring" or "slow ring" don't ask me).

Lumia 925 yes beta 10.0.10586.107. So, no way to come back to dosbox old version? Lost everything after an update that shouldn't be permitted? 8-(
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] pdedinski:
Lumia 925 as I recall is from the devices that were only upgradeable to Windows 10 until a certain insider build when Microsoft announced that not all Lumia devices will receive Windows 10. That was the case with my Lumia 920 at least, and I switched it with Lumia 650 (pretty damn nice phone for the money if you ask me, pity MS is not so supportive of their own eco-system). So there is a high chance that the Windows 10 build you have has enough problems that the Windows 10 UWP app is not working properly. The dev is not really to blame here as the store app saw there was an update and did it, the app was tested against the official releases of the OS and deemed "working". The only thing I can think of is reverting your phone to official 8.1 build (I did it with my Lumia 920, as the latest beta build of win 10 it could upgrade to was buggy as hell) or the dev providing a way to side-load the old version of the app (provided of course your build of the phone supports side-loading)..

Sorry to hear it went that way.

Hello, I like very much your app and bought it.... but I need help with prince of persia 2. The game works but I cannot map all the controls. If I use superimposed keys from settings I don't have all the keys but only arrows alt ctrl space enter Y N esc and F1...F9 keys. Is there a way to decide to show other keys ? Or are they locked ? It would be wonderful.... Instead if I decide to use in app joystick It doesn't work, no button or joypad is seen from the game. Tried also to map numeric keys on joystick via the setting but in that case the controls become crazy and the game unplayable, the player become running forever...I remember I saw a screenshot of your app with prince of Persia 1 and in-app joystick....

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
[MENTION=2279621]sigfrid696[/MENTION], to enable joystick, you should press "j" key in game (I believe so). Also, you can use standard DOSBox key remapper (I forgot a key combination to show remapper window).

Full size keyboard isn't available on this port, sorry.

P.S. AFAIR, I played PoP by using MOGA controller and Xbox controller (during my tests). Just tested with on-screen joystick, it works fine (but not so good as a keys of course).

And here is the manual to the game.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laserbiz:
I am running out of room on the internal drive (available only 1.5 gig of the 32 gig available) and I wish to find the offending program(s) or file(s) that are taking up so much space. When I use an explorer type program, nothing is showing up as very large at all. But something(s) are just eating up space.

Is their an app that would allow me to see which folders or files are the largest ones?

I do know that for a Windows computer, there is a program called Disk Pie that shows in a pie chart which file or folders are taking up space. This program only looks at hard drives though. I tried to navigate the program to my phone's internal drive but it doesn't allow it. Any help would surely be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
are you rooted or stock?

for root (in a terminal app or using ADB)

su

cd /data

du -sk *

summarizes by folders (in addition to any individual files which are at the top level of the /data folder).

From there you find the biggest (folder), "cd" in to it, and repeat until you located the folder using the most amount of space.

If you are not rooted, you can do the same thing in "/sdcard" if that is what is taking up the greatest amount of space., e.g.

cd /sdcard

du -sk *

etc

The built in Android stuff (Settings -> Apps -> etc) will tell you how much *private* data storage is being used on an app-by-app basis, but if your apps downloaded a ton of stuff to the (internal) /sdcard area, it won't show up in that summary.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laserbiz:
Thanks for your quick reply! I am rooted but I am not very good with a terminal app or for that matter ADB . I was hoping for an app from the Google play store. I guess I have to bone up on both a terminal app and ADB.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The du command is harmless (it only reads, never writes), so you should be able to use what I showed you above in a terminal emulator with confidence. The only commands you need to understand are "cd" (change directory) and "du" (disk usage).

Solid Explorer (w/ root privileges) seems to summarize storage usage by folder (top down, everything under that folder) with a "long-press -> Properties". But it's hunt-and-peck like you were trying rather than "give me the (top-down) storage used underneath of all the folders in the current directory right now". I'm using the paid version, but there might be a trial or free version that does the same thing.

As is typical, the command line will give you the answer you want in about 1/100th of the time of hunting and pecking.

There might be an app to do what you want though if you want to do things the slow way. :D
