<<Kalpha, There's nothing preventing you from implementing the feature yourself and then submitting it for integration into DOSBox.>>
Apologies up front I think my babel fish is still grumpy.
I would like to, but unfortunately
1. I currently do not have a lot of spare time
2. h-a-l-9000 says that it is much effort (which with #1 kinda rules it out)
3. I once suggested the adding of a (missing) std vesa text mode to the int10_modes.cpp and was greeted with something along lines of NO it will add too much bloat (64bytes), does not sound like it is useful for games, DosBox is for games, ......
So along with all the other negative and terse comments from the core, it is hard to get the motivation to expend "much effort" on something that only two people want and will probably be rejected even if it was submitted.
One day my MDA monitor or card or unit still compatable with it will die, but hopefully my current needs for it will have either evaporated or one of the other possible avenues will be more supportive and I will find the time to spend much effort helping those friendly folk. Sheesh I never said DosBox must or should have, I only asked if an item on the wishlist was ever progressed.
