Many games will take advantage of XMS or EMS, but what I'm after are games that require one, the other, both, not one or the other..

Add to the list:

Underworld 2
Master of Orion
Tie Fighter
Dawn Patrol
F15 III
NHL Hockey
1942 PAW
Ultima 7's install checks for extended and sees it even with XMS set to false in the config(and runs).
Tie Fighter's install also detects XMS. I don't know if it runs because I have the corrupt copy that gives add files=20 bit.
With XMS diabled in the config, Comanche tries to run but crashes DOSBOX probably because it sees XMS like Ultima 7. If I comment out
/* IO_Write(0x70,0x30);
size_extended=IO_Read(0x71);
IO_Write(0x70,0x31);
size_extended|=(IO_Read(0x71) << 😎;
*/
in the bios init, Ultima 7 doesn't see XMS and Comanche runs without.
A little more to do to mimic XMS behavior correctly.
1942 PAW crashes DOSBOX if EMS isn't set in the config.
