[Freedos-user] List of compatible systems needed
Hello... I use a Macintosh and tried Virtual PC (with Windows XP PRO), but it wouldn't run my QBASIC programs properly. Virtual PC costs over half the price of a new PC, so I thought I'd try a new PC. Will my QBASIC programs run under Freedos (I have the QBASIC application)? Where can I find a list of operating systems which are compatible with Freedos? Thanks for any help.

QBasic's run under FreeDOS for some time, I think. :) FreeDOS is quite (but not 100%) DOS 6-compatible. -uso. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

[Freedos-user] [Freedos-devel] EMM386 release candidate #2
This one should be getting close. The second release candidate version of EMM386 with VCPI support is available at ftp://ftp.devoresoftware.com/downloads in the files EMM386.ZIP and EMM386SR.ZIP, as executable and ASM+C source. They are dated March 27, 2004. This version of EMM386 corrects incompatibilities with: NIOS; the latest version of PC Config; the most recent release of SLOWDOWN; and Lemmings 3d. The above corrections were all different and doubtless affect other programs as well, so if you've had past problems with EMM386, please try this version and post if and where any problems remain. A good tip for testing with a problem is to try the failing application both with and without EMM386 loaded to see if the problem only occurs under EMM386 and not in a pure HIMEM environment. Otherwise something else in software or hardware might be causing the error. Details, details, details: NIOS should now successfully load, without any of previously documented EMS setting restrictions. It may even work. Prior versions of EMM386 used the 24-bit mode of LGDT and LIDT when V86-PM switching so that a program such as NIOS which used linear addresses above the 4M range for a new GDT or LDT would misbehave quite badly. SLOWDOWN used the WBINVD instruction which is illegal in V86 mode. Emulation for that instruction has been added to EMM386. PC Config used the mov dr7,eax instruction which is illegal in V86 mode. Emulation for that instruction has been added to EMM386. There was a nasty bug in the EMM386's support for EMS 4.0 function 50h, map multiple pages, where it looked in the wrong memory location for the pages to map. Oops. The fix allows Lemmings 3D to run properly on my machine. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

Yea, slowdown does work, so I can now drop the mo'slow. Running Descent 1 with slowdown works great, running at 486 100mhz. Also to add to the working games list is Command Conquer, the original Dos version. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
