Hi, I'm new to all this, so please bear with me.
I installed Dosbox and the CVS compile and then managed to get Hyper 3-D Pinball installed. However, when I try to run the game, I get the following problem:

I've searched the forums and didn't see anything related, but there was a post on SVGA extensions? but I really didn't follow what it was saying.

Can anyone help me here?

Thanks for the reply.

The cycles made no difference.

I then downloaded dos32a and copied the sb.exe and dos32a.exe files to the game directory and tried to run the game using the command "sb -r 3DPINBAL" but since the game is initiated by a bat file, containing RUNCD, it game an error in opening.

I then tried renaming DOS32A to DOS4GW, and got exactly the same error as before. 🙁

Has anybody got this game to run?

Do you still get the DOS4/GW error, or does dos32a
display this (similar) error?

I don't have the game, but some general things to try:
- try ems=false/xms=false in dosbox.conf (or combinations)
- disable the sound
- load the game WITHOUT univbe
- use the full core/dynamic core (dosbox.conf)
- try the debugger-enabled version of dosbox (does more
logging output and cpu-checks)

If you're handy with a debugger, you could see where the
divbyzero comes from (basically set a breakpoint at
1e0:10cc, ie. BP 1e0:10cc, and see what opcode triggers
the exception, and try to get an idea where the zero
comes from).

Good luck 😀
