Dosbox-x: Dunnos under GNU/Linux

Created on 3 May 2018 · 8Comments · Source: joncampbell123/dosbox-x

Hi there today i had download "https://codeload.github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/tar.gz/dosbox-x-windows-v0.82.6" , and i do manual compilation

with :

./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-sdl --enable-sdl2 --prefix=/usr
make
su -c "make install ; ldconfig" root

At this point every fine :D (i want both versions, but i dont know if i set sdl2, this ignore the sdl1, i prefer in the makefile generate both like "dosbox-x-sdl" & "dosbox-x-sdl2" after of that i can do an symbolic link to my prefered version.

i had the follow dunnos:
1 - Where is the default location for the default configuration file?
because i not have something like ~/.dosbox/dosbox-x.conf

2 - i read this have a "menubar" but i don't see any menu, and its enable by default

3 - Why "Shift+F1" and/or "Shift+F9" don't work ? (i try to enable some option like ToggleMenu and/or Exit) but don't work, just the Drop Mouse is working (Shift+F10) and Alt+Enter don't toggle between Window Mode / Fullscreen Mode

4 - The Window Main window can be resizeable and if possible stretch the image ignoring the aspect ratio (like in SMPlayer) ?

5 - Why if i make and custom config file with :

fulldouble=true
fullresolution=1152x864
windowresolution=1144x777
output=opengl

when i run with
dosbox-x -conf custom.conf

The Main window, just have the resolution in window mode "640x480" ever. i think the mayor part of configuration is just ignored. (i had download the window version and extract the file "dosbox.reference.conf" to make my customize configuration file.

=======================
Added :

i try to compile just using SDL. and this is the output:

To clean up the mess of default mapper shortcuts, a "host key" modifier has been added and default mappings have been changed to move them to use the host key.

On Linux and Mac OS X the host key is F12, except on Windows, where it is F11.

The mapper shortcut has been moved to F11+m.

The concept of the host key is to assign one key that you hold down to access other shortcuts, just as in VirtualBox.
