AFAIK Jemmex will work in plain DOS mode only, it will not work to start Win with Jemmex loaded. For the dll, you need to specify the path to jload AND to the dll. As an example Copy code to clipboard 1 c:\dos\jload c:\dos\qpiemu.dll

There is no problem if you want to use MS DOS. Maybe don't use Rufus, just install it from your floppies. I'm using 6.22 without any problems. You can use himem + emm386 or jemmex if you need real mode support.

I wrote a PM about my CPU. In the meantime I tested CpuSpd. Sadly my multiplier can go from 8-10 only, so it's almost useless with my CPU. If I change clock modulation from southbridge, the system becomes instable.

When I use mem.exe after quake for example, it shows 0K XMS free. Quake allocates all available XMS. ... with SBEMU, memory seems to stay in use, so mem.exe shows 0K free. Can anyone confirm? True. It's due to how hdpmi uses "xms memory" to backup "dpmi memory". It releases those XMS memory blocks …

One more strange behavior. When I use mem.exe after quake for example, it shows 0K XMS free. Quake allocates all available XMS. Without SBEMU (but with jemmex, qpiemu.dll and hdpmi32i) every XMS memory becomes freed after quit of an application. But with SBEMU, memory seems to stay in use, so mem. …

Got my DOM, installed Windows 98 SE, installed all VIA drivers, installed CrystalCPUID: Nope. It can't change multiplier on this CPU. All options are greyed out.

Thanks for suggesting CpuSpd. Will have a look. Anyway, I ordered a 2 GB DOM to install Windows 98 SE on it. Then I'm able to test CrystalCPUID. Since CpuSpd's source is available, maybe @gerwin you can have a look at it?

Never had Windows installed. It's a thin client, IGEL 4210 LX, with a CF card to boot from. I have to find a 44 pin IDE cable on ebay. Then I can connect an old notebook HDD and install Windows on it.

I've just tried SetMul on VIA C7. Sadly it's not supported. I can disable L1 cache only, then I get 7.5 points in speedsys. Looks like L2 is disabled also. With L1 enabled it's somewhere between 600-700, can't remember exactly. That's a really huge drop. Is there any chance to support C7 also? Can I …

If it's not a real mode game, use himem.sys and emm386.exe from MS-DOS for maximum compatibility.

@crazii Is there any chance to prevent SBEMU to load parts of itself into conventional memory, if I load it with LH /L:1 SBEMU? Without the /L:1 everything goes up, but with, a part (data, 528 bytes) goes to conventional memory sadly. Upper memory block 1 has 3.680 bytes free, so the last part of …

Did it patch the exe? Doesn't look like at your screenshot. Please copy the bppatch2.exe into the target directory and execute bppatch2.exe *.* In this directory. Also habe a look for command line switches. As far as I can remember, without it will do a check only, don't patch anything. But maybe …

No need for slowdown in case of runtime error 200. BPPatch2.exe can fix the root cause and you can run at full speed. Edit: As always, do a backup of your files BEFORE patching!
Re: SBEMU: Sound Blaster emulation on AC97

For the runtime 200 error, search for a patch tool from german magazine c't (heise Verlag). Can't remember it's exactly name. It can automatically determine, if an exe file need that patch and patch it. You can do "nameofpatchtool *.*" in your game directory to do so. Edit: name of tool is BPPatch2. …

Looks ok to me. Should just work. You can try to move the IRQ to 5 with SBEMU.exe /i5 and test if that helps. I don't know about the messages from jemmex, I don't have them. Maybe Baron von Riedesel can tell if that's a problem. But I don't think so, at least for SBEMU. If your games need EMS, than …

Anyone else? I have a MB with VIA VT8237R+ and volume was also too low. One problem is that the VIA chips - at least the VT823x ones - have 3 knobs for the volume: 2 AC97 "volumes" - for "MASTER" and "PCM" - and a VIA specific volume ( DXS or so ). Another problem is that the "DXS" volume is …
