There is no real problem just that they don't work. I was curious about what VM86 is because that is what is not supported to run Zone66. I also wondereed what it meant by CPU Paging features not supported which is what won't let privateer run apparently.

This is under the new Nov 4 Dosbox CVS build.

Any thoughts?
Thanks

Yea, I noticed they aren't implemented El Pusher. I was asking what the error messages mean specifically. What are those functions that are not implemented i'm curious.

you don't wanna know 😀

VM86 is some sort of realmode task under protected mode.

paging is a system which pages the memory (not by ems)
it gives you virtual memory 4 GB and pages that don't exist in memory can generate faults so the OS/or the host can load the missing pages.

(swapfile idea. )
Every memory acces must be checked on where the page is in memory.
