Just wondering what's causing this error. I have noticed this message with a few games now (in DOSbox 0.60):
Jazz Jackrabbit
Strike (shareware)
Tyrian 2000
They are all tested uncorrupted versions (run under real dos mode)
This is because of a bug/unsupported feature in dosbox's DPMI implementation.
[For the technically interested: DPMI function 0008 (Set Segment Limit) is called with an invalid segment value >0xffff, which is not allowed in 16bit mode. Afterwards, the CPU paging goes down the drain because of an invalid page link.]
If you try it with the "dpmi=false" config option, it tries to load its own DPMI implementation ("dpmiload.000" for Jazz Jackrabbit), which fails because it can't control gate A20. This seems to be currently unimplemented in dosbox.
So you'll have to wait until a) dosbox's DPMI implementation gets fixed or b) dosbox allows gate A20 control...
sorry if that was too technical 😉

Neat that people exist who know where they are talking about 😀
Maybe submit a patch for dpmi problem 😉
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
Or just people that read the debugger output and somehow assume that that is the error while it screws up ages before.
That's because Tyrian and Jazzrabbit use some unsupported dos extender. As Harekiet wrote the error happens way before.
Cool, cheers for all the feedback, I figured it would be something to do with protected mode. Thanks guys
Hope that it will work well in the next few versions.... Want to play this great Game again
