Well post the names of the demos, unless there are already threads
dealing with them.
If you get graphics problems with some demos, try the cvs and use
machine=vgaonly as this enables hal's line-based screen updates.

1dosbox -exit -c "mount C ." -c "C:" -c "demo.exe"

Duh, I think I tried "mount C ./" - For some reason -exit doesn't seem to do anything for me.

These problems are most likely due to issues with the demos themselves, but might be interesting to look into nevertheless.

I doubt this is an issue, considering that they are text mode demos =)

-exit only works if you speficy an executable to run. (not with -c . for example dosbox -c "mount d d:\ -t cdrom" c:\demo\demo.exe -exit )

for your case (with only -c's): -c "exit"

Shouldn't this work also:

1dosbox -exit /path/to/dos/demo.exe

I was talking about demos in general, as i suppose you didn't fill the iso
with 2 textmode demos.....

Well, he did say "all the entries of the ten Text Mode Demo Competitions from the past 12 years", so I guess he indeed only has heaps of text mode programs on that CD. A quite funny thought, actually.

Heh ok 😀
Nevertheless hal's stuff works fine in textmode, too 😉

Yep, it's a cd with 90 textmode demos in it.
