The feature loss is limited to playing audio from physical game CDs, which I doubt has a lot of users. The current Fedora dosbox package OTOH is pretty broken, e.g. in Fedora 33 the cursor-keys do not even work (I don't know when they broke, but atm they are definitely broken). I did not check, but I guess that this is caused by the original dosbox shipping with a patched SDL1 and our packages using the system SDL1. But I think that it is safe to say that if something as essential as the cursor keys are not working that switching to dosbox-staging is going to be a big improvement overall. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
