First of all I appreciate that this board exists. Good to know there are people who devote themselfs to old games. I think it's worth it.
I downloaded a cd-rip (abandonware) of the flight simulator Advanced Tactical Fighters (ATF) by Jane's Combat Simulations/Electronic Arts (1996). Since it's a pure DOS game and I run WinXP I tried VDMSound and DOSbox to run it.
VDMSound 2.1.0 reports:
Abnormal program termination: Memory protection fault
CS:EIP = 019Fh:00000013h
DOSbox 0.62 shows this:
Application AF.EXE has caused an exception: Access violation
EAX=FFFFFFFFh EBX=001D6C8Ch ECX=002923EAh EDX=0000003Ah
ESI=00000000h EDI=00286667h EBP=002E9E84h
DS=0017h ES=0017h FS=0097h GS=0017h EFLAGS=00203256h
CS:EIP=000Fh:46415C46h SS:ESP=0017h:002E9DDCh
A MS-DOS 5.0 bootdisk didn't help.
Nor did the v1.14 patch for ATF.
Maybe you have an idea how I could get it working on my system with DOSbox or other means.
Thank you in advance.
