Good to know :-) And good to know that Fade To Black is the only game with problems with SHSUCDX. My thought was that maybe SHSUCDX has some debug options so you could collect information whether any feature is called by the game for which SHSUCDX has known shortcomings... If the default SHSUCDX does not support that, even a patch could work, but I guess the game graphics would make it hard to see SHSUCDX messages? >>>> - Took me a while to figure out why FreeDOS wasn't running on my Pentium >>> >>> Please let us know which of our components expects a CPU which... Well Jerome is right that the "legacy friendly" distro works, but I would still want to know which component of the default distro would need a NEWER than Pentium CPU. After all, Pentium is quite new, too. I would expect that even the normal distro works when you skip loading that part. For example ALL core components should be happy with 386. And yes, it is nice to support FAT32 drives up to 2 TB LBA size, unless your BIOS has some bug causing a lower limit. Even then, you can use drivers which install in the MBR which were common back in that time. >> Most 3D DOS games need a Pentium to run well, and when >> playing at higher VESA resolutions, can you have enough power? Of course you have a lot more power in Linux and Windows, where many CPU cores can work for the game at the same time and the 3d graphics driver can let many GPU cores work on 3d, but that only works for a game written for that operating system, not for DOS games ;-) Regards, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
