They won't, because it's far easier to wrap the DOS version with DOSBox than get the PowerPC Mac version running on current machines.

So what is the point of using the opengl output if you want it to look exactly the same as surface? The whole idea of using those output modes is to take advantage of hardware scaling...

Reading between the lines, OP wants aspect ratio correction ("fullscreen with letterboxing"). If surface already did exactly what he wanted why would he be asking for alternatives?

I think GoG's FotAQ has always used ScummVM (as well as being free). The main reason for them switching some DOSBox games to ScummVM was to support cloud saves.

For DOSBox there is a big difference between 32-bit and 64-bit builds. The dynamic-x86 recompiler gives much better performance than the regular dynamic recompiler, but can only be used in 32-bit builds.

Why do you want to connect to the wavetable header instead of the port on the back of the card?

"Error opening DUKE3D.CFG: Permission denied" Are you trying to run the game from a disk that is write protected e.g. a CD-ROM? Or you copied it from a CD and the files are still marked as read-only?

It's an I/O error. Either the disk or CDROM drive is faulty.

It won't need a driver but without knowing what the switches do, you'll have to guess the settings.

Which digital card did you select when testing those games? Looks like it's got an ESS 488 which iirc is compatible with original sound blaster (not pro/16).

At least Warcraft 1 & 2 will run properly under DOSBox... this Diablo 1 release is a shambles. They didn't bother to fix the DEP error (so it crashes on startup if you have DEP protection turned on), and the shoddy directdraw wrapper prevents the "upgraded" version from being able to use Battle.net. …
