Hi dima, you wrote that your game "x-com apocalypse" crashed on FreeDOS, with the following error after the intro:
DOS/4GW Professional error (2001): exception 0Dh (general protection fault) at 3E58:000024D7 TSF32: prev_tsf32 6AEC SS 180 DS 3E68 ES 198 FS 0 GS 0 EAX 2000 EBX 2F6 ECX 2000 EDX 2F6 ESI BD88 EDI 6F62 EBP 190378 ESP 33C CS:IP 3E58:000024D7 ID 0D C0D 0 FLG 10286 CS= 3E58, USE 16, byte granular, limit CA8F, base 3087020, acc 9B I do have experience with the same error, I think: The game "descent" (where you fly around in mines and fight with a remote-controlled spaceship against mining robot spaceships which have gone evil...) has the same problem. I think this is because DOS4GW is not overly stable on modern computers. My error is the same in that it also happens at CS:IP = something:24d7. Apart from the usual solutions to load/not load HIMEM and/or EMM386 (to get better stabilitz in general), I found that it also helped to run the game with DOS32A instead of the built-in DOS4GW. You can get it here: http://dos32a.narechk.net/index_en.html PS Henrique: DOSBOX simulates everything, including the DOS kernel and all your hardware, so it burns lots of computer speed of modern computers to simulate an old DOS computer. Sometimes your PC is of course too fast: Then you can use the oldskool.org throttle / slowdown tool or FDAPM to make your computer slower :-). Still faster than DOSBOX. The big PLUS of DOSBOX is of course that it can run in Windows and Linux. If you have Linux, you should use DOSEmu instead, because DOSEmu uses less simulation and is faster. If you have Windows, you should try some NTVDM based software. Eric ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
