Now DOSBox is seemingly way more accurate than Microsoft's "interpertaion" of DOS that comes with Windows XP. Has anyone got any good errors with Microsoft's DOS emulation?

Here's a couple:

Power F1 (Eidos) - the car will not accelerate, meaning you go nowhere! In DOSBox it's fine but a bit too slow.

GT Racing '97 (Ocean) - your car steers twice as fast to the right than to the left. Also all the AI cars drive off the right-hand edge of the track and keep crashing! Neither issues in DOSBox but again it's a bit too slow.

Top Gun Fire At Will - the keyboard seems to be polled really slowly, meaning keyboard play is impossible.

Note: all these bugs affect the games whether run through WinXP alone or through VDMSound (which won't allow the joystick to be found by Top Gun).

These will all work in DOSBox but they're horribly slow as they need a faster machine than DOSBox can emulate.
