DOSBox-X 0.83.18 with default machine type

DOSBox-X 0.83.18 with vmemsize=16

DOSBox-X 0.83.18 with machine=vesa_oldvbe

DOSBox-X 0.83.18 with machine=vesa_oldvbe10

DOSBox-staging 0.77.1

Thanks _Rob - i still got sometimes problems with the vendor strings but good infos

Indeed, the above example with vmemsize=16 is a good example that something is going wrong with printing strings in your code.

With the fixed binary posted by @Falcosoft, it now renders much better on DOSBox-X and -staging.

Is it normal that the init signature is still VBE2 when emulating VBE 1.2 or 1.0? And should it still probe for VBE2 when the VbeVersion is not at least 0x0200?

Here is a screenshot of DOSBox-X 0.83.18 with machine=vesa_oldvbe10 and vmemsize=16

Also note how regular DOSBox and -staging both return 0 for capabilities while -X returns a different result.

thanks for further testing - i will re-add my VESA or VBE inital signature feature later
