I remember how there used to be idiot pseudoprogrammers thinking that using anti-debugging tricks, their own encryptions, anti memory-freezers etc., in games somehow made them "uberk00l"... while all they did was making sure that a few years later newer processors, such as 486 or Pentium, could not run these "protected" executables because of various non-standard, undocumented tricks, procedures and so on - they would now hang or crash or freeze on a new system. Some games like these were for example In Extremis or the installer for Bethesda's Terminator 2029 or Future Shock. They wouldn't run on a Pentium. Surprisingly enough, now that I tried them in Dosbox, the SAME thing happens - they freeze and I have to shut D. down. Do you think it would be possible to get Dosbox to somehow handle such situations, bypass such stupid "protective measures", or whatnot, to make such executables runnable...?
