Thanks to the 16bit support moe's unofficial win32 build I've been able to run Battlespire.
Anyway, when I start Battlespire I get a message saying
Starting Battlespire... […]
Starting Battlespire...
Warning: 31M RAM+Swap detected.
Battlespire has detected less than the desired amount of memory
available to the game. The is ost likely due to the DPI memory
setting of your DOS box. Please read the 'patch.txt' file and pay
close attention to the 'Random Crashes' section.It is also likely that you may be low on disk space. We recommend
that you have at least 40 megabytes of free space on your hard disk
before running Battlespire.If you decide to continue playing the game, there is a *VERY* good
chance that it *WILL* crash.[Hit 'q' to stop loading the game or any other key to continue...]
And in the DOSBox.conf file I have memsize=64 and tried various options with xms=true/false and ems=true/false and used the normal core. The solution in the PATCH.TXT file only refer to the DOS memory settings with Windows 9x .pif files so it's no go.
I've been able to run the game fine (the little I've played because even with the dynamic core it's too slow for my current computer), but I rather not let the game use a 40MB swapfile when it should be possible to avoid it.
Any idea what I can do to make the software see more RAM so I get a "Good: 55+ RAM and swap detected" result?
