Re: Any possible UEFI "shim" to allow running e.g. Windows 7 32bit on newer hardware?

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.

The issue here is OTVDM can't run all InstallShield setups because of some missing files in it's system mostly relating to language (in my case) and thus fail. I'd like more details about this if you have some. Some may be arguing that OTVDM will execute these 32-bit executables with a warning …

EDIT: Obviously that's a flaw in MAME's YM2151 emulation, not anything done by Scali or the ScummVM team. Wanted to make that perfectly clear. I don't know how up to date AMAME is but Aaron Giles rewrote all the yamaha fm synths earlier this year. If it's older than that it might be worth trying …

Mame has all that except the graphics viewer isn't available for pc drivers (it does exist and works for consoles and arcade drivers that use hardware tiles and sprites).

The 80186 has a builtin interrupt controller, dma controller and timer none of which are pc compatible which is why it wasn't used in any* pc clone computers. The tandy 2k requires them for proper emulation. * There's at least one, the Triumph-Adler Alphatronic P50, which has the usual pc devices …

Status: Not working This is misleading, it runs most stuff including Windows 1.0. Dosbox X can emulate the 80186 and a bunch of different kinds of graphics and sound chips.. I don't know about the special version of DOS it ran though. You could probably get it to load it from a floppy as a booter. …

I think FT_Thunk is windows 95/98/me only, it's not available on win32s or nt. Win32s came with the earliest version of comctl32.dll but it might require a newer version. The later versions came with the os, https://www.geoffchappell.com/studies/windows/shell/comctl32/history/index.htm, so you could …
