Titus the Fox worked perfectly for 99% of the time on my 12MHz 286. No way this required a 486!

What did they kick out and what do you miss more? Only the kernel or the entire 32bit user land?

Cool, congratulations! I could have only dreamed of that much memory on my 286 back then… (I would have been more than happy with 2MB)

How do you boot from the secondary hard disk? Boot menu selection? Or removing the first one? Was the first one present when you installed the OS on the second one?

DOS games did not throttle their CPU usage because it was mostly useless back then. The real question is: Is DOOM running smoothly or not? And without native code generation via the dynamic-x86 core, that is, full software emulation, I would expect a Pentium 4 to be a tad too slow indeed.

On real hardware, at least on Windows XP, and I think also earlier on Windows 98, Atomic Bomberman was very picky regarding the network switch. The more modern a switch was, the less likely it was able to run the game properly. With incompatible switches, there was a lot of jerky and erroneous …

Usually what you do is: raise the frequency of the timer interrupt (by writing a lower counter value into the PIT); install an IRQ 0 handler that calls the original one at the original frequency (approx. 18.2 times per second) and does the actual custom time keeping that you need. I don’t want to …

16 bits or 32 bits? DOS executables have a header field that specifies the minimum amount of (conventional) memory required. Maybe an unsuitable value ended up there somehow.

That question just makes me think my computer is even more stranger. Once I executed that command, I got nothing in return, however my hard drive has partitions of different filesystems and one is currently mounted as a fat32 (vfat) It can also be compiled in. Better check /proc/filesystems to …

When you say you have it working on DOSBox in Linux, wouldn’t it be the same in DOSBox for Windows then?

I don’t understand what you already have. Do you have a working setup that can connect two DOS Duke instances over TCP/IP (UDP)? What network components do you use for this?

I just noticed that the build instructions are a bit untrustworthy. During configure, a non-existent sdl-config is referenced, starting with the wrong variable expansion of $PSPDEV . But when I insert the real sdl-config there, it no longer links because it wants main , but only SDL_main is provided …

I had to comment out HAVE_PWD_H in config.bak.h . Other than that, the build worked as advertised. I don’t …
