VBoxSDL would be the way I would go, or you could work it into a different VBox front end with the VBox API. Technologov Volunteer Posts: 3342 Joined: 10. I suggest opening a feature-request, and continuing discussion there. Something similar to the Linux fbdev problem also exists for Mac hosts.Ĭurrently VirtualBox (and other virtualizers) have ugly approximation of DOS mode in Fullscreen.
On Windows host, there is no fbdev problem. (or simply ask the user via VirtualBox Documentation to disable fbdev driver when running Linux host). so improving VirtualBox BIOSes might be required, as well as patches to Linux fbdev driver to allow switching into hardware text-mode. I don't think that VirtualBox BIOS/VideoBIOS is able to translate guest's text-mode into host's text-mode. not all hosts support text-mode (Think of Linux with fbdev enabled)Ģ. Of course it may be possible to emulate it via Text-Mode on host, but it has two problems:ġ. In Windowed mode, emulating 720x480 window is not a problem (that's what VirtualBox does, but *it is* a problem in Full-Screen, because VESA standard has no such mode. That is why: To emulate DOS Text-Mode, you need to emulate either 720x480 (I think) resolution on host, or Text-Mode on host. Correct emulation of DOS mode in Full-Screen I mean. Xvsc99: Do you understand what you are saying ? There are no additions exist for DOS.ĭaLaunge: I don't think that it's possible to do in an easy way.
