Hi,

The Final Unity works extremely well but i noticed one strange thing that just bugs me a little. When AFU boots up, it displays the startup screen that shows DosBox mounting the CD drive and recognizing the location of EMS memory. However, at this screen, it says "ems memory found as xxxxxx" but then it says "ems memory available= -2486" How could this be negative? Is it possible to fix this?

Thanks,
Jason

Try lowering the amount of EMS in your DOSBox config.

How? The only thing i know how to do is set it to ems=true or ems=false. Is there a way to specify how much ems the game can use?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that there's one setting for total RAM in DOSBox that it uses for EMS/XMS/etc. Good test values include: 63MB, 32MB, 16MB, 8MB, 4MB, 2MB, 1MB

You can't. Diffs are source patches and require recompiling the source code to make a new dosbox.exe. A couple of the popular CVS builds already have the SVGA patches included, however. See the development form for more info.
