Yeah I would call it simulating as the sound generation is done and the processing is done by the real midi card instead of by us. We just provided a layer in which this was possible (irq and datalines) But I did get the idea. I just hope it works on all platforms as nicely as on the Win32 platform …

You know what's weird? The only other game I really tried running in DOSbox is Wizardry 7, and it has stuttery music too (other people have even reported it on the forums on sourceforge). It's no wonder I have such a bad impression of DOSbox. Is there any game it can run well that VDMSound can't?! …

libmmd.dll is a library needed by the new compiler (better said exes compiled with certain settings) Again, frameskip has no effect except to make the video choppier. I guess the sound emulation needs more CPU power than a PIII-550 can give, although the DOSbox emulation claims that a PII-400 should …

I think the plain exe is a bit useless. the libmmd.dll is needed and quite rare.

oh it's really enabled But it doesn't fix all problems offcourse I think your private build is just slower that the release builds so the gain of multithreading is done in vain for your version. I think the debug0.57.3 version might run the game Anybody care to try ? 😉

That's the consequence of programming an emulator that only emulates what's needed to run DOS games and not a "complete" emulator. You would be supprised how complete dosbox has become :) Many games use undocumented side-effects and do weird stuff. Especially the graphics department(VGA BIOS) is a …

Yes, I know, just haven't gotten around to any in-depth testing. The "real-world" is gobbling up all my time right now. BTW, I presume HIMEM or some equivalent is always present in DosBox. How big of a deal would it be to make a build that had no memory management active at all? For titles that use …

Well, um, er, if DOSBox is supposed to emulate DOS then it should work even if the program is broken, heh True in general. But some game don't deserve to be run. They are coded way too poor. It runs by fair luck. But who knows: One day Harekiet might become soft harted guy ;) Well finster made a …

Willy seems to run on DosBox, but the other two gave me unsupported errors (odd since they are 286 or earlier). You may have to wait for DosBox .60 or higher for these. If you set in the configfile warning to a number greater that 0 you get to see which feature was unsupported. It may just be a …

Yeah it compares values to the one located around 0000:0000 Stupid game. But maybe we should try to locate our interrupt handlers to +/- the same location as a real machine. (int 2 (the one compared to)) should maybe be located somewhere in the bios segment or so. But dunno offcourse Game is the …
