Hi.

I am apparently hitting the file size limit of dosbox. I have some HDDVD EVO files that are 10G+, and they don't show up when doing a dir command. Other, smaller files are listed.

Is there any way around this with dosbox? Patch? Something? Is there another dos emulator I can try? (I'm still trying to get dosemu to run.)

I am running dosbox 0.72 on mandriva cooker.

thanks,
john

it might be possible that you hit something 😀

However which dos game has 10G+ datafiles ?

I am trying to convert some HDDVD movies to mkv files. The GUI for eac3to.exe crashes using wine, and the Haali media splitter has problems in wine as well.

But, eac3to also has a command line interface, and I was hoping to use that to convert my movie files. I'd rather not install virtualbox and winxp, which will be my option-of-last-resort.
