The Dig which didn't run with v. 0.58 can now be played with the latest DosBox build (dpmi=true).
Actually, it's very slow....
yeah, yeah, wait a minute, I do know that
"Even though some high-end 486 and Pentium games work now, the current cpu emulation speed probably won't let you run them at decent speeds. So don't bother to post about speed"
but still I wanted to bother to post about it, since imho it can't be defined "broken" anymore.
I guess it's just a matter of a proper cpu.
The other machine I tried this with (Pentium 2 400, 128 Mb of RAM) doesn't make it, while this one (Pentium 4 1500, 256 Mb) does albeit in slow motion.
Maybe if I can hopefully upgrade to a P4 3060 come Christmas I can have it go the way it should, as compared with the decent speed afforded by the other 3 emulations I can also rely on, that is WinXP using VDMSound, or SoundFX 2000, or ScummVM.
Or the supposedly "benchmark" performance in the Win98 partition I made.
Or the virtual Win95 machine created within the Virtual PC 5.2 demo I'm using.
You try it and report if you have a P4 2,500 or higher.
I think it is no little success for DosBox 0.60 to have it roll anyway.
I'd also like to add that after upgrading to 0.60, Sam'n'max cdrom is now a charm, and Loom cdrom too.
About Loom : it's true reportedly v. 0.58 appeared to work, but not for me, because I always found enormous sound troubles with it, which I wasn't able to fix, well now 0.60 sounds perfect (all files copied to hard disk, launching the exe there, keeping the cdrom in its drive).
