If you force IRQ7, its still broken? What about Yamaha utility, errors from above are from it? Is EMM386 used? What drivers autoexec and config lines you are using, there drivers loaded without any error messages?

Im afraid that for games you need speed and for speed of need C/C++ and likely also some ASM porn, too.. For me are basic programs good enough.. Or you can maybe target only some fast machines. Other question would be some resident TSR, here i guess you also need keep memory usage very low and some …
