Actually, I believe we are referring to after you guys have basically perfected 386 emulation, you could then add a separate set of instructions that represent the extra functions of the 486. If added carefully (although I'm no expert), flipping the extra CPU opcodes on and off would be a snap. …

It'd be nice if you could (once 486 level instructions begin to be added) select which processor you want DOSBox to emulate. However, I'll be happy with 386 emulation, myself! 😉 Brian

Do we post information on running games on self-compiled code from the CVS repository here? Or do you guys even want to know? Just trying to get the Rules of the Forum down. Brian

Oops... I guess the executable I thought was 0.60 wasn't 0.60 after all. I redownloaded the 0.60 source and recompiled it, and it died on SQ6 badly. So, I guess I'd best stop here, since I must've gotten it working on my own CVS compiles instead. Brian

By the way, in order to get Space Quest 6 to even load, I had to tweak the sq6dos.bat file that is used to load Space Quest 6 to avoid all the vesa checks and CD checks. What error message (if any) are you getting when you try to run Space Quest 6? If you want to bypass the batch file entirely …

Oh? I thought it would work for 0.60, too. Perhaps there is more to it than just the DPMI memory. I've been compiling the CVS myself, so I have no clue why it didn't work in 0.60. Some other change perhaps? Brian

Never mind, I believe I figured it out. If you disable DPMI memory in your dosbox.conf, the Error 29 disappears quite amazingly. I finally took the time to grab the Debug Enabled executable, and found the culprit in a hurry. Could someone move this thread to the appropriate forum? Thanks! Brian

Well, I thought about putting it in Games and Apps, but decided on development instead because I've also tried compiling the CVS and running DOSBox, and get the same error. Thought someone might have some idea what was going on, however if this belongs in the other forum, feel free to move it over! …

Howdy, all! I'm curious what information is known about getting "Error 29: Unable to initialize audio hardware ../vdmsound.cpp" during the Space Quest 6 introduction movie. I have that error very consistently on my Windows 2000 machine running DOSBox 0.60. I have found my Linux box, which is a …
