does it run in DOS?

See wd's question. Also, does DOSBox crash with a SIGSEGV, or your app? The latter seems unlikely, as it is a POSIX signal.

My app crashes on dosbox. Never tried it on dos though, only Win98. I think it might have something to do with graphic memory.

Well, since it is your game, you should be able to debug it? Very probably, there's a bug in your game, not DOSBox.

If the game has a free license, would you care to share it?

Well it might be a bug but it runs on win98. I could share the source code but it might boring for you guys to check it since the vars and stuff are written in portuguese :p and i'm still a student so my programming skills are that great 😁 don't want to share my headaches with anyone :p

well the exe might be enough. We rarely have the source code of those hundreds of games we debugged.

There's some extender that is known to only work under win9x systems
as it is buggy on non-dpmi systems (ie. real dos and dosbox).

here goes the game then. it is a stepmania/guitar hero kind of game :p with songs played on the pc speaker xD

btw, the game is also in portuguese, so if you get to test it: "jogar" is play, "velocidade" is speed and "recomendado" is recommended.

create an empty file po.dat
the game appears to want that.
not sure if we give a wrong errorcode or so

ok! one problem seems to be ruled out! really stupid of me :x i forgot to add that file. it has character definitions for writing text in graphic mode. its something the teacher gave us.
I can already see the menus, however i'm getting errors when I read the files. I'm attaching the zip with po.dat. One of the songs i get a SigSegv error, the other one is a file error when i read the file. Thanks a lot for the help so far 😀
