Need to see about getting the following added to upstream: SDL Soooo.....even though the SDL 1.2.13 mouse code works in SDL 1.2.15 (Actually current branch of SDL 1.2) I've been unsuccessful with adding the subsequent changes back to those files that don't have anything to do with the issue.

You can clone your drive or just fdisk and format the new drive, run a sys c: and copy everything over. If you clone the drive then you'll need to use 3rd party tools to expand the partition after (depending on the tool you used, some can offer to expand the parition) or you can use fdisk to create …

Yup if you use a drive < 128GB then no issues. Greater than then you need to use the patch. I wouldn't recommend one large partition like that but if that's what you want to do then sure. As for the forums most people don't know what they are talking about.

No wonder. Your post is confusing. 98 SE is limited to 128GB unless you install the 48bit LBA patch. The 32gb limitation is only for 2000+ when you use them to create FAT32 partitions. MS-DOS 7 fdisk can create FAT32 > 32gb partitions. I wouldn't create huge partitions on FAT32 anyway for 9x since …

Not sure what you mean by that I can compile a program and then execute it on NT 3.51+ using mingw-w64 x32 as long as the OS is run on an i686 and you use the msvcrt from Q932590.zip Last tested with mingw-w64 7.1.0 dwarf 32 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=55706&p=669269&hilit=guide# …

DOSBox SVN Daum isn't supported here. With that said it's possible DOSBox SVN Daum is using a newer version of SDL that is incompatible with Windows 10 Fall Update. Try copying the SDL.DLL from DOSBox 0.74 which uses SDL 1.2.12 into the DOSBox SVN Daum directory. SDL mouse code was changed in SDL …

Can't really help except to say that if you have identified issues with msys2/mingw64/gcc then it's best to report them to the respective team.

DOSBox doesn't do anything crazy. Install DOSBox to it's standard location and see if you have the same issue. Check your mount settings. Make sure you changed to the mounted drive.
