Remember those cool Demos made by various groups, like Triton and Future Crew?

I've tried a number of them under DOSBox, and very few will run correctly, if at all, even under v0.63.

I think it would be a good idea to add a section for them on the DOSBox website. There is also the advantage of the unusual routines that they use making them ideal testing programs.

Would anyone else be interested in seeing this section, or am I alone in this?

Do you have list of those that did not work? I've tried a few random ones from Hornet site and most of them worked fine but there are a few thousand demos there. Also, CVS has much better chances with those demos than 0.63.

I agree, most demos from the early area I've tested run fine in DOSbox, although EMS, XMS and soundcard settings have to be tweaked often. The original poster might want to focus on specific demos, explaining what exactly doesn't work.
