Package: dosbox
Version: 0.65-1
Severity: normal
"Game Wizard" tool is a DOS Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program
that searches and edits memory, and can "lock" memory bytes to a
specific value. Secondary functions include altering execution speed,
taking screenshots, boss screen, saving and loading of program state,
intentionally "crashing" a program to the command prompt, and swapping
out a program to open a DOS shell.
These are all operated via a menu that is triggered by a hotkey during
the execution of a program. It suspends execution (properly handling
a configured sound card to avoid glitches) and may swap DOS memory
around for some operations. (To avoid issues with XMS and EMS, I have
it swapping to disk.)
In 0.63, it would run, albeit only with the "normal" or "simple"
cores. I have used it often in this configuration without issue.
Running with the "dynamic" core exits with "Illegal option", and the
"full" core appears to freeze (but could just be extremely slow).
In 0.65, it fails to run with any core. CPU cores "normal" and
"simple" exit dosbox with "CPU:GRP5:Illegal Call 7". The "full" core
continues to freeze. The "dynamic" core simply exits as if the
command was a no-op, neither loading the program nor crashing dosbox.
As far as I can tell, the program can no longer run whatsoever under
dosbox version 0.65.
In the likely event that a developer needs the program for debugging
purposes, please contact me directly at the address on this e-mail.

You have reinstall gamewizard.
The program gamewizard makes an install that is unique to the system
you installed it on. dosbox 0.65 is a different system as 0.63 (as far as
gamewizard is concerned.) (game wizard calculates checksums for certain
parts of the system memory and rom parts).
The bug can be fixed by the submitter and isn't really a bug in dosbox.
Therefore this report is closed.
