Write your own .com that calls int21.4b with al=1 to load the program to be debugged, then jump to the new ip with the trap flag set (or some other method to notify your emulator to break). jmarsh idea is the best i think - you can't activate a debugger by just hooking some interrupts because …

its not clear what you are trying to reach? debugging of DOS exe or com programs can be done using: -(very archaic) using the debug command from a real MS DOS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debug_(command) -using the dosbox internal debugger (much better then the real DOS debugger): https://www. …

different question: why do you want to develop directly under DOS? its much easier to use dosbox + cross-assembling with MASM or better UASM (MASM compatible but better error messages) or NASM on Win/Linux x64 - im doing all my DOS programs that way

I think it's a BIOS issue so I'm hopping we'll get a BIOS fix from ICOP. is the ICOP BIOS based on the Seabios code? do they share the source code (i think they need if its Seabios due to licence stuff) the "TinyLlama (Vortex86EX SBC)" project uses its own Seabios build (but can also use the …

I assume you want to switch between versions, for testing purposes: Change the path eg: SET SOUND=C:\DOS\CT-VOICE\2.12, but some games do not use or respect the SOUND path. Overwrite CT-VOICE.DRV with the version you want to test, which always works. Write a loader to intercept the CT-VOICE.DRV …
