As of late I ran into a few games that use various non-standard VGA modes/resolutions, including very odd (literally) stuff like 320x181 (Mike Wiering's Mario clone ), 320x203 ( Overdrive demo ), as well as 320x200 modes like in Jazz Jackrabbit and Rayman . In all these cases, DOSBox does not …

also quakespasm is the popular recommended port these days but that's not perfect either IMO. "Perfect" is very subjective among Quake, as you'll also get answers about 'perfect' ports WITHOUT TEXTURES AND LIGHTING because pro winning etc. That's why I said "good" in my reply :) I remember vaguely …

As I recall, DeHackEd does rely on binary data and offsets, which is naturally different for every different executable, including the different versions of Doom (up to 1.9) and the custom "1.9" builds for Ultimate Doom and Final Doom. So DeHackEd will not modify FastDoom (like it won't any other …

I was wondering how FastDoom is compatible with DeHackEd? You need to specify custom offsets for data for each binary provided, is that correct? This is in the context of the possibility of making a DOS binary for REKKR based on FastDoom.

It is my understanding that at least some browser implementations of DOSBox are configured not to use dynamic core, possibly for performance reasons. So TQG will work in the browser as intended without any tweaking. As a matter of fact, I missed the entire problem myself too when I first played the …

Thanks for investigating this! On the author's website it does say Create a CD with all files in the root directory (you cannot play the game from harddisc) so this must be what was meant by that. I thought it was referring to something else. I wonder if it's a software bug or a CD check that's gone …

I remember being able to play with sound but now I reinstalled the game and get the same results as you. Very odd. UPD: Try setting CPU core to normal instead of auto/dynamic. Worked for me. I think it's because of the RTM memory manager.
