The IOPB was introduced with the 386. What older processors would be supported by disabling it?

I don't if you were using winevdm to run it but when I tried it I found the same problem. I've implemented support for loading win16 codecs here, https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/pull/1388, which makes this work.

I mean it can render graphics but there's still much to be desired. As far as I experienced, many privileged instructions handling is unimplemented, I recently made a thread on the otvdm issue on that with WinDirect. Sure, stuff that bypasses Windows and hits the hardware directly if going to be …

Some of the indeo files aren't self registering and they are disabled by default on Windows 10 and 11. See "Video not available, cannot find 'vids:IV32' decompressor" error for Pitfall The Mayan Adventure

Have you tried the development version from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/otya128/winev … upyoc/artifacts ? I think these issues have been fixed.

DOSBox is great but has one limitation: multinode/multiplayer games won't work due to the way DOSBox works with the filesystem. Maybe ask the dosbox-x devs? They seem pretty responsive to problems like these. I appreciate the recommendation to try MS-DOS Player, I'll give that a shot :) But I'm …

I no longer have a proper Windows environment to test this, but whereas some doors would work, some would not, and I had to update OTVDM/NTVDM every single time my computer updated. Regardless, NTVDM/OTVDM aren't really options for me at this point since Windows10 runs like such garbage on this …

Right, I guess I was looking at the wrong number when I did the subtraction at first. Thankfully in this case the last 8 bytes of the file are 0 so it doesn't matter.

If you load it into windbg as a dump file it'll give the error "Image region 10a00:1567 does not fit in mapping". This isn't immediately obvious what it means but 0x10a00 is the load address for the last section and 0x1567 the size in the header. 0x10a00 + 0x1567 = 0x11f67 while the actual file size …

It's because the image is corrupt as far as NT is concerned. NT checks the file header more closely than 9x and the last file section extends past the end of the file. If you use a pe editor and change the size of the .rsrc section from 0x1567 to 0xdf8 then it works. The attached image is fixed.

Are you using the latest version of winevdm because this bug should have been fixed. Here's the same bug in wine https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48557 and the fix is also in winevdm.
