Any common pmode extender? I think the DOSBox debugger is sufficient, because the game doesn't require a protected mode extender, but on the other hand, because of my lack of experience in debugging, I'd like to get a call stack while I am debugging, so I want to use Watcom Debugger side-by-side …

Well that's why i'm asking what application you want to debug, anything coming from assembler or including some nice hacking may destroy any possibility of having a call stack. Your best bet is "watcom compiled -> watcom debugger" and similar, but for the general case i don't know anything that …

Debuggers are supported (trace flag, int3) in real/v86/pmode, just as gulikoza says the debug registers are just dummies because they're not used by games and very hard to emulate. Other than that, since the full x86 cpu is emulated all 16bit and 32bit pmode applications *should* work cpu-wise …

What has the subject line to do with the content? Neither vpc nor dos32a are 16bit pmode apps, and the former is not related to dosbox, the latter usually not relevant. Beg your pardon, I'd like to know how to run a 16bit protected mode program in DOSBox. In one of my attempts, I tried to run …
