I’m trying MoSlo for the first time and am having a problem where after I execute the following command:

C:\moslo\moslo c:\donkey.exe

I see a screen that says:

Mo’Slo version 1.5.1
…
Emulation speed is 05.30

And then the screen goes blank and all I see is white underscore line blinking in the top left corner of the screen while the whole screen is black.

It then hangs there indefinitely. CTRL, ALT, DEL doesn’t work and I have to hard reset.

I’m using 386DX/33 with 64kb cache and 8MB RAM, MS-DOS 6.22. Autoexec and configsys are empty.

I also tried turning Turbo off, but same results.

I also tried using the /M2 switch, but same results.

I also tried using it on Landmark 6.0 app, but same results.

Donkey.exe is for the game Donkey Kong

Any advice how to overcome this?

Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k, 48k+, 128k, +2
Amiga 1200, 68030/40mhz
386DX/33, ET4000, SBPro2, MT32
Dual PPro/200, Millennium II, Voodoo 2, AWE32, SC-55
etc.

So, moslo began having issues on an old K6-2+ system I was using it on too. Which is weird because I swear I remember it working, and then it just started hanging. No clue why. Anyways, since this is the only, slightly old, post I see about it, here's my experience.

I actually have 2 version of moslo. Version 2.1 off the Ultima Collection cd, and version 2.0 off my Ultimate RPG Collection cd. I can't seem to cajole version 2.1 into working again no matter what I do. But in version 2, if I hit the scroll lock key things get going, and the system is no longer hung on a blinking cursor. The instruction say if Scroll Lock is on when the program begins, it should load at full speed. And then if you press ctrl-alt-scroll lock, it will begin slowing down the game.
Also you can pause the game and adjust the speed with the same combo. This isn't working great for me.

When v2.1 is hung, I can use the key combo and it'll pop up it's running speed. But then it gets stuck there and never unsticks. V2.0 works a bit better.
