My personal favorite is Daum. He usually updates at least once a year, sometimes a bit more often.ykhwong's is broken.
What do you mean?
It's unstable

No it isn't.
Use the search and you will find that it is buggy == unstable

No. You brought it up so you'll explain.
No, I didn't bring it up, I only confirmed it. You want to be a dick anyway, no need to waste my time.
Whatever.
*split from original thread*
The most stable version is the latest 2014 build. All the 2015 builds are crap and have broken scaling.
Shhh...
Can someone edit the headline of this topic? It suggests that ykhwong has a mental health problem, whereas the actual subject is his Daum version of DOSBox.
Going ad hominem at ykhwong is daft.
I know right...
If you know the unstable issue was introduced at some build it could be found by testing various old builds and using something like diff/araxis merge to pinpoint what code was changed once you located the build introducing the problem.
Couple other builds worth trying are the dosbox-x and this
https://github.com/duganchen/dosbox/blob/mast … ENHANCEMENTS.md
I also have my own 0.74 build with just MUNT added. Intel profile guided opt. build is around 7% faster in Doom timedemo using C2Duo.
The problem is that ykhwong uses too many different patches... In this case it seems that he chose the wrong time to implement Dosbox-x.
Since he didn't use git or so you can't trace the problem...
The yhkwong build had some problems back in 2013 but I don't know if they were fixed in 2014. The problem I had was that after exiting a game, running another game might not work, there could be garbage on the screen etc.
I've never had ANY problems with any of the Daum builds. I don't know what the fuck you guys are talking about. Either your computers sucks ass or you're doing something wrong.
Trying to get this thread locked?
Yes, I don't know what his beef is these days but I suggest some happy pills. Locking pointless thread...
