When I try to run Harpoon 2 in DOSBOX, DosBox exits
and says "Does not support CPU Paging..."

When can us Harpooners expect this support to be added?

I just wanted to know if CPU paging is on your list of features
to emulate, and how high a priority it is on the list , if it is on
the list.

That kind of stuff, not being blown off with a "when it's ready"

Under 80386 : 32-bit pmode support but missing task switching and paging emulation.

So its not supported. But i would guess that its in the queue. So it'll probably be done when its ready 😁

Crumbs!

I think that was Harekiet's "not subtle" hint that the programmers involved in DosBox are concentrating on emulation in general, as opposed to emulating specific features that only certain games need to work properly.

They just managed to get some protected-mode and VESA support into version 0.60 and are probably feeling kind of tired and might be feeling a little cranky right now. IOW, I wouldn't expect it soon...
