I cannot make it myself. Ah thought something like that. I think, it was very obvious. :) If I could make changes myself, I'll post in other branches. "DOSBox patches" maybe. :) Just in case - something in your words make me feel uncomfortable. I hope, my words was not very arrogant? :( I have …

The trick allows me to play the game as intended, and it's been allowing me to play the game since DOSBox 0.65 and I also play it somewhat regulary. And I never really used the CVS versions much, only the official DOSBox releases. Never had those messages myself. Seems to me like you're doing …

I make quick investigate of Daggerfall on this site. There is numerous topics about it, but it seems, DOSBox still can't run it. CD is not recognized. Every found topic with CD issue stops after "make daggerfall.exe z.cfg trick". It is, of course, allows to play the game - but it seems, that no one …

Why? Mount the CDROM as D . It is simplier in some case (Win/DOS games, for example, as with Fallout and Birthright). But actually, I think, it doesn't matter - no one from mentioned games require CD. :) -usecd is rarely necessary. I know. But it could matter sometimes, and I think, it doesn't hurt …

Well, hard to give any advice then since who knows whether the games are normally behaving like that or screwed by the packaging. Not to mention that abandonware is really not supportable. I know that. :) But asking not hurt, yes? :) to 1. even old shareware games had an install or setup program …

You force me to read about DPMI to avoid shame for myself. 😀 Ok, now I know, that protected mode not appears by itself, but must be supported by embedded or external host. 😀 Thank you, really, that you force me to know it. 😀

I predict this suggestion, so don't ask "what is dpmi" or "how it works". 😀 I ask only question, that could be answered with "yes" or "no". Not? Ok, then google. 😀 Thank you anyway for your answers!

I don't good with all this dpmi (I even don't know, what it is exactly). Can you elaborate little more: is it means, that any windows have dpmi support somewhere inside, and this file not needed there?

I have old compiled utility on old Borland language (Pascal, I think). It uses rtm.exe for work. Of course, it have "Error 200" on start - and old "divide by zero fix" works no more - I think, double core too much for it. So I decide to use Dosbox. And I encounter strange problem. Under XP's cmd all …

Latest DOSBox installs don't liked by my antivirus: DrWeb. It says "File infected by Troyan.Popup". If I disable antivirus and install DOSBox, later this antivirus says "Uninstall.exe infected with Trojan.Popuper", so it is this file responsible for alarm. Is this everything ok with installer?
