Hi, all
I have the following system:
AMD 5x86 configured to run as AMD 486DX4@100
2x8MB FPM RAM
Chaintech 486SLP
Cirrus Logic CL-5428GL with 2MB (VLB)
AWE32 CT3990
VLB MIO
1.6GB HDD
16x CD-ROM
MS-DOS 6.22 + Win 3.11
I can run benchmarks (such as 3DBench, Chris's Bench, Speedsys and SI8) just fine, I can also use Windows. However, most games either freeze at boot or cause a complete reboot when started. What I tried so far:
- Doom — freeze at "Init DOOM refresh daemon";
- Epic Pinball — launches, but causes a reboot as soon as I try to start a new table;
- Duke NUkem 3D — crashes before a splash screen appears.
However, these games worked:
- Another World;
- Eye of the Beholder.
Could it be that I simply have a problem with protected mode games? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
