[optimus8]

Hi Winged Geek,

First of all I would like to say a big THANK YOU for enabling the hw SIP of TP to work with n0p dosbox. I actually prefer PocketDOS for the fullscreen VGA, and hw SIP, but as we know DOSBox is the only one with SB emulation.

Wouldn't it be just great if they just merged the two and PocketDOS came with dosbox's soundblaster?

Well you just did it. I have been looking for the solution for months, only today did i think to search for it under the touch pro tag. Seeing from the date of your entries, my timing is just nice.

I was trying to get Leisure Suit Larry 1 VGA to work on my Touch pro with everything enabled. VGA, Soundblaster, hardware keyboard etc... You should be quite familiar with it since it is also Sierra VGA game and from same era. After following your advice about msim.dll and using your zips, it worked! Kudos to you for that.

But I noticed it was terribly slow. Much slower than the default package on n0p's website. After testing by playing around with the .conf and cycles and auto cpu and simple core and all that, I realized that the reason for the slowness is coz you are using the xscale version. Shouldn't touch pro be using ARM? it is after all intel strongarm processor. I reinstalled n0p's ARM dosbox version, then copied the mapping.txt and your dosbox.conf files inside, then the speed went up. from about 200 cycles to 400 and above on average.

So is there a reason why you are using xscale version? Coz I am noob to this and would like to learn more. Also if other people are reading this, and have similar experience, perhaps they can share their settings. Now that we got it working on high speed, perhaps we can optimize the .conf file to provide the best settting. Perhaps using sb2 instead of sb16, using fullcore, using smaller audio buffer etc.

To run old point and click adventure games using the hardware keyboard of Touch Pro would be my dream come true!
