Video board: ATI Mobility 9700 128MB
Operating system: Mac OS X 10.3.4
Application Name: acdos.exe (Adventure Game Studio) v2.61
Reproducibility of problem: always
DOSBox version: 0.61
I'm trying to get acdos.exe, one of the apps in Adventure Game Studio (AGS), to run under DOSBox. Most AGS games these days are compiled in Windows mode. However, acdos.exe allows any of the AGS games to run in DOS mode, according to the AGS Knowledge Base. For example, the freely downloadable (and AGS Windows-compiled) Kings Quest remake could be run in DOS by typing the command 'ACDOS KQVGA.EXE'.
The first obstacle to running acdos.exe in DOSBox was receiving the message:
Load error: no DPMI - Get csdpmi*b.zip
I have since downloaded two versions of dpmi - csdpmi3b.zip and csdpmi5b.zip - and placed the enclosed EXEs in the same directory as acdos.exe. In either case, when I try to run acdos, DOSBox crashes with the following messages appearing in the OS X terminal:
[yosemite@hammerhead.local] /Applications/Emulation/Intel-PC/DosBox/DosBox.App/Contents/MacOS/DosBox /Users/yosemite/Downloads/ags_261/
CONFIG: Using default settings. Create a configfile to change them
MIDI:Opened device:coreaudio
MODEM:Can't open listen port:Couldn't bind to local port
Illegal instruction
Any ideas for getting acdos to run? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
