Hi all!
I cant get the d2dq2116 demo to run properly under Dosbox. Or in any other way.
If I try running it in win95/98 or whatever compability mode I get: Failed to allocate near DOS pointers-error message
If I try running the .lmp file on some Doom port it doesn't work past map23 (because there is a special exe to be used when playing the demo). The Doom port i've had the most luck with is prboom. jDoom for instance doesn't support playing old Doom-demos etc. etc.
Thats why I tried Dosbox but then there is other issues.
The playback is really slow, sound is crap and i get two screens inside the dosbox/game window. I dont have problem with two screens when just running the game.
The demo in question can be found here: http://www.planetquake.com/qdq/d2dq.html
(564 kb)
So far to get the demo started I've used Dosbox v0.61 and csdpmi (found here: http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/editors/jed/misc/csdpmi/).
With v 0.60 I get "Failed to allocate near DOS pointers" and with v 0.61 but without csdpmi I get "Load Error: get DPMI*b.zip", that's why I got csdpmi.
All this takes place in WinXP pro + sp1 on a PIII 800mhz, 192 MB RAM and GF2 32 MB.
If anyone got the demo running properly or if you have a general idea on how to then please let me know how!
Cheers
