Debugged pr5 (iirc) some time ago, and it was quite buggy, pr3 works fine, and pr4 as well i think.

Hm, you could write a TSR that intercepts int13-calls (maybe int25/26 as well, depends on how they access the disk) and look for boot sector reads, and then fill in the serial number. Might work if the SN is the only thing that game is looking for.

As you mention the serial number being destroyed through formatting, this should be some field in the boot sector/MBR. When using disk images, everything should work as it is solely based on the information that is present on the disk images. As retrieving the serial number involves reading a disk …

Does this happen with a fresh dosbox.conf as well? If not, try without keyb.com

You started to talk about sourceforge, can't see anybody mentioning it before in this thread. For CVS builds, see DOSBox SVN Builds For dos installations, see Sample usage of a harddisc image in DOSBOX

No idea what's happening then, as most code is executed in the main program/driver files. Could be that the drivers are loaded through a device driver interface, which isn't supported down to the lowest level in dosbox. Trying the program under dosbox when booting msdos should be working then. …

Hm, that's interesting. The main target keyboard is an enhanced keyboard at the moment, so the current implementation should be ok. On the long run, i'd like to change the keyboard behaviour to the 84-key variant for the old architectures (machine=cga,tandy,pcjr) which ignores enhanced keys, and …

There's nothing wrong about that psave, they're using standard dos file access. Unless you have some of the files from that program read-only or otherwise limited access, this should not impose any problems to the code writing.

They open the file sibmpc.drv on the disk, insert some code (cd e0) and stay resident (hooking int e0+), now when that code in sibmpc.drv is executed, the int e0 calls psave. At this point i can't really tell what it does exactly, changes some registers for one call, and looks like it does memory …

That'd make the behaviour for the capital "A" wrong (caps lock+shift), which has the ascii code 0x41. Or did i miss something?

What frontend? Maybe recreating the dosbox.conf would help (or use that of a fresh dosbox0.63 installation).

It opens one of the driver files (SIBMPC.DRV) and places a few callback-interrupts (int e0+) in there to catch control later on. Nothing really special/hardware related as far as i see.

You could try it when booting msdos/freedos on a disk image inside dosbox, myabe it works there.

Hm, if you have a heavylog of that procedure you could see where the stack gets wrong (contents or stack pointers).
