Ok the file from cat6 works (maybe change that in your initial posting, both links point to cat1, or i screwed up somewhere). The needed file is gr-lida_en_EN.qm, not the one with the .ts extension that i had from the archive.

the DOSBox scaler code is hideously complicated and totally undocumented. I don't see why you need to move on to the scaler level, that's completely independent from the graphics hardware emulation and rendering. If you want to output the image data to some external device, grab the frame buffer …

Hm it wasn't that obvious to me that "GR-lida 0.3.0 Código fuente Cross Platform" contains the translations 😀 Anyways, still doesn't work (extracted in the mentioned directory), got to test this on a different pc.

Looks quite solid. After a regular installation it was still spanish only though, might be related to the localized xp home here (language during installation was set to english).

I thought that correctly emulating this would prove that dosbox is coming close to the real thing. dosbox aims at 386+ emulation, so this is out of scope. But should be no problem to hack the mov cs,ax into the normal core if you can compile dosbox from sources and have some use this.

VGA_SetupDrawing() chooses the drawing handler (if any), so check what the respective game uses. Most common case should be VGA_Draw_Linear_Line(), so the following refers to that function. vga.draw.linear_base is the base of the graphics memory, see VGA_Draw_Chain_Line() for some nontrivial example …

Create a directory like c:\oldgames on your real harddisk, and mount that as your virtual harddisk in dosbox like mount c c:\oldgames (preferrably add that line to the autoexec-section of your dosbox.conf).

If you need the dosbox internal debugger, you have to compile it with the debugger enabled (see ./configure). The z:\debug.exe starts the same debugger as alt-pause, if the latter works the former should as well unless you removed z:\ from the $path var. Do you really need the dosbox-internal …

Hmm nothing obvious... it "simply" forgets to update the palette. So it'd behave the same on a real s3 card, right?

Well then fire up some debugger and see why int21/3d or similar fail. As Qbix already noted the runtime error signals failed access to some file be it in the original directory or in some directory it wants to update, maybe even config.sys or whatever.
