but there is the #ifdef bug instead of #if in the ne2000.cpp, so it can't be disabled without editing that file. btw the game called Oxyd wants to print a certificate with the player's name on it, when you finish the game (I still have mine from many years ago). Is it the only game that needs the …

The cause of the problem is common to several demos, because they all use the same binder, eg Blasphemy, and 1st Demo II. There are patches on my site to make them run safely.

sounds like a problem with your configuration, then. the intro plays completely for me - title, story, credits, tutorial, and the game plays well, too. I'm using max cycles, everything else is default.

To really answer your question: yes, a DOS program should be able to crash DOSBox. There are plenty of ways. It doesn't make the games play any better.

I didn't even use an ISO, I just extracted the RAR files into a directory, mounted that directory as though it were the CD, installed it, ran it, like this: if you haven't installed it yet, do this: mount c: c:\ mount d: -t cdrom d: install then to play it: mount c: c:\ mount d: -t cdrom c: cd …

You need to start DOSBox, and then mount the ISO from within DOSBox. The DOSBox documentation describes how to do that.

If you're talking about the code in the bootsector, then no, it's no longer 512 bytes, it was extended to 1024 bytes for Windows 9x. It spans 2 sectors because the FAT32 support did not fit into a single sector. IO.SYS can be placed anywhere in the file system, and the bootsector code will parse the …

Int 20 expects CS=PSP segment but that's not the case for the debug console if nothing is loaded. Running with nothing loaded causes memory corruption (no MCB at PSP-1) and the int 22 resume handler isn't set, either.

it's expecting exception #13 to occur during the move as a trigger for page swapping, same trick as Into the Shadows, but the segment limit is not checked so the exception never occurs. it will need the same kind of paging patch to make it work properly.

Yes, there's a bug in the memory layout, which places the first UMB at A000 instead of 9FFF, which causes the UMB linking to link the last UMB as though it were the first one, and not terminate the list anywhere.
