Masters of Orion should work without problem under EMM386 as of most recent 
1.14 version, although the accompanying bug in the new support could 
conceivably crash other applications, like the PCTools' MI 
program.  Masters ran okay here under 1.14.  Fix for the bug will be out in 
a week, or so, depending on how well or badly other debug work goes.

[Freedos-user] Master of Orion emm386 // RE: sound cards apogee games

2005-02-18 Thread Charlie Wilkes
I see the latest version of emm386 adds a setting for 
MOO.  But what is "EMS function 53h" and how is it
set?  MOO is one game that is pretty tender under
FreeDOS.  I have only been able to make it work at all
with MS emm386.

RE: sound card for apogee games

I have yet to find an id/apogee game that doesn't run
great under FreeDOS.  But modern hardware is hopeless.
 I recommend a dedicated DOS box and a kvm switch.  It
is bliss.  You can go to a computer junk store and
assemble your 1995 dream system for about $50.  Mine
has a SB ISA card pulled from a 486 board.
