Ive noticed a few glitches in my games on my new install of DOS on a 386.
Some issues were downright corruption on defective media, but ive had issues with Rockford locking up with a blank screen after I loose all my lifes.
Instead of going to the home screen, it just goes blank.
Then I noticed I could get the game to work fine when EMM386 was turned off.
I only discovered this by accident after turning it off along with smartdrive so I could run Speedsys properly.
I have noticed other apps sometimes do the same thing too, such as cachechk when I came to running it.
Below is my config.sys and autoexec.bat files for you to inspect.
I have run memmaker earlier on, and it seems to keep throwing out the line for the CDROM driver in Autoexec.bat and I had to add it back after running memmaker.
Any other ideas?
Im pretty sure the RAM is OK, it passed a memtest86+ test fine.
