Hehe 😀 Btw. vga attr reg index10 bit5 is named "pel compatibility" flag whereas setting it to 1 means backwards compatible, so your fix to ignore the always-pel-panning behaviour for ega is correct.

am I just too tired now, or there's an obnoxious bug after "leadOut)," ???? Looks indeed buggy, but works fine (multiple variable setting). But nice that we are finally at the TOC function again 😀

Then it breaks if something uses linecompare 0 with the exotic modes on VGA. Did you check those? (cga/tandy-style modes) As the rest is ega/vga/lin. VGA_VerticalTimer is not vret Well at the end of the retrace slot then or something. I doubt linecompare=0 would be handled differently for text mode …

Buggy, Buggy Buggy. True, like always zeroing the dma page, not caring about dma buffer wrapping. Really hope you get your code fixed soon! Good luck!

Depends on what you want to use it for exactly. For example (e)drdos has a very good msdos-compatibility (win311) whereas freedos has nice tools/bootable cdrom. Games should work fine with freedos.

No relevant critical thing in the log. Modes are fine.

these comments accordingly are not there in CDROM_Interface_Ioctl::PlayAudioSector() nor in CDROM_Interface_Ioctl::StopAudio() Guess the audio-play (or cd in drive) status is updated only for open calls, so this is needed.

Try loadfix or xms/ems disabling, otherwise bad luck.

Well can just put the VGA_ProcessSplit() into the switch block. I did wonder why this text mode start address timing had to be different between normal and vgaonly Got to look when exactly that was committed, think it was about smooth text scrollers or so. my patch doesn't touch it? It adds …

Why don't you just disassemble the interrupt handlers if you got the bios?

These obsolete-entries are exactly the crucial point, because there is no information if they are still working or not. It looks like many of them still work just fine (but might not in later vista/+ releases) as they behave identical as under xp. Maybe you could compare the state/return values of …

dosbox works fine with svga/vesa usually, the target chipset is s3. Maybe try univbe, though it looks more like missing/incomplete unpacking of the files (try browsing that "Daten" directory).

Looks like your installation is corrupt. But even with a working installation i could not get the game to work, it loops at the beginning.

Are the logs (both) fully reproducable? As the noioctl-one has two additional audio channel control calls somewhere at the end. Try checking/logging what CMscdex::PlayAudioSector and CMscdex::StopAudio actually do, especially if dinfo[subUnit].audioPaused is consistent (so both times the …

should all int 13h functions return with interrupts enabled or only those that really needs it? None. For example the bochs bios uses a plain iret, so this'd hint at real bioses doing the same. Check the diag app under bochs and see if it works, if it does, see my comments above, if it doesn't, …
