Testers wanted: Dosbox update

[OyyoDams]

Hi,

With the magic of such an open source project, everyone can participate to improve Recalbox.

@lmerckx is currently working on a dosbox update and we'd be happy to let you test and have your feedback.

The goal of this new version:

• Joystick deadzones are now configurable
• IPX is enabled to allow network play

---

Here is how to test it (not available yet for Odroid C2):

1. First of all make a backup of your SD card or USB key
2. Edit recalbox.conf and set updates.type to: https://review-316-wip-bu-ednj25-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com
3. Reboot and upgrade

---

• For deadzones: new properties are available in the configuration file (to be tested)

circularinput: enable translation of circular input to square output. Try enabling this if your left analog stick can only move in a circle.

deadzone: the percentage of motion to ignore. 100 turns the stick into a digital one.

• There is a procedure for IPX here: https://www.dedoimedo.com/games/reviving/dosbox_multiplayer.html

P.S. @voljega you're really welcome here

We're waiting for your feedback

@OyyoDams
Je comprend bien que le clavier virtuel n'est pas encore compris dans cet update ?

[lmerckx]

Indeed ... virtual keyboard is for later !

@lmerckx
Thanks anyway for your great job on dosbox.

I'll try to test this this weekend.

If I have some spare time, I may try to implement universal mapper (as described there : https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/12135/iip-generation-of-custom-mapper-for-dosbox ) to go along @lmerckx modifications in a next release
