TandEm is tricky but if you get it working somewhere it should get at least over the fonts problem.
Re: Tandy 1000 HX Emulation

One message mentioned that there may have been fonts in the Tandy ROM. That was me ;) Tandy roms seem to have font tables in their very high area, at a different location than the pcjr (dosbox has neither, but uses the graphics rom). You can't really use a debug script or something, but would need …

If you have fun/time: there are a few OSX-specific things open that might be worth to test and integrate.

Yes but osx seems special, there's a patch for this somewhere on the forum to get it working.

Qbix fixed a bunch of configure things, merged some patches from sourceforge and stuff. Nice that it compiles straight now.

I'll try to have a look at the bios docs and listings, maybe it doesn't make sense what i'm talking about 😉 There was some thread about deskmate somewhere on the forums, maybe i'll dig that up, could contain useful information as well.

MobyGames says it's a windows game (don't know if they ship some dos version with it, unlikely). You could try virtualbox or vmware or virtualpc, install some win9x and attempt to install/play the game there.

Does it behave the same with core=normal? Fixed cycles?

For these reasons, it may not be the Tandy BIOS Well i suppose the tandy bios had some character table at a fixed location or something, and the prog reads this one (crap in dosbox). Regular int10 should work, uses the "correct" tables. But as i said i didn't delve too deep into it as far as i …

Again, the CVS does NOT solve the inherent problem (which can be bad gfx drivers, suboptimal directx settings etc.). It's a bit troublesome that it has worked for you and now crashes, did you install something inbetween or update drivers or similar?
Re: Tandy 1000 HX Emulation

Think it's not possible to get it to work, iirc it relies on the tandy bios or something. But i never looked too deep into it (quite tricky stuff) so i might be wrong.

Erm sorry, didn't read your posting close enough. Maybe this can be added to the mount and troubleshoot sections, too.

Already there: Mounting your entire C drive with MOUNT C C:\ is NOT recommended! I'll have a look at that example you mentioned by times, thanks for pointing it out.
Re: Saved Games lost
Posted on 2007-05-31, 19:51
Right, in general it's best to have some directory on your hard disk mounted as c (like "mount c c:\oldgames") and install the games there. This way they can create the save games etc. If you think some part of the readme was unclear/could lead to misunderstandings feel free to tell or rephrase that …
Re: mapper or keyb problem?
Posted on 2007-05-31, 18:48
Sorry, no idea, maybe somebody else can give you some helpful advice. Maybe try some older dosbox versions, and try posting a screenshot after you pressed the up/down/left/right keys on the dosbox prompt.

Thank you very much! And no, there's nothing like a golden medal of diff for the 100th patch 😉 (not yet). The first two things sound sensible, the 3rd one effectively prolongs the retrace interval, right?
Re: mapper or keyb problem?
Posted on 2007-05-31, 14:12
Hm don't know, sounds odd. Try the following: delete the mapper.txt, start dosbox+the mapper. Then klick on the "K" and delete all bindings for it (the "DEL" button, watch the binding, it should be removed). Then be sure that hitting the "K" key on your keyboard doesn't produce anything (as the …
