Will 0.71 be even faster then 0.70 cause the speed increase from 0.65 to 0.70 was huge.

This is off-topic, abyss.

Hal, does exchanging sdl.dll and stuff make it work?

Nope, launching the AEP builds from within the 0.71rc1 directory didn't help.

I'm having an ugly problem with the Breadbox Ensemble full version.

When clicking on the settings entry in the start menu, first nothing happens and a few seconds later DOSBox exits with a core specific error message or locks up.

Exit to error: CPU:GRP5:Illegal Call 7
Exit to error: DynCore: illegal option in opcode 0xff

Full core:
XGA: Wrote to port aae9 with 3, len 2
XGA: Wrote to ...

(it does not use XGA)

Starting other applications may succeed.

Now the weird thing is it works on official DOSBox 0.70 and 0.71rc1.
It does not work with my own build (latest CVS with only serial port stuff changed, Visual studio 2003) and the AEP builds (I tried dosbox_25.07.2007, dosbox_01.07.2007, dosbox_01.06.2007.exe and dosbox_01.05.2007.exe).

EPA: I got the internet connection to work - at least one good news. Its a bit of risky programming in ensemble - it expects a 16550 FIFO serial chip to be there.

All these failures you have not seen in the official DOSBox-0.70??

That's weired, indeed!

Serial internet connection: Fine, very fine!! But what must I do, to get it to work? Soldering an 16550 or unsoldering them (is a joke!) or some tricky inserting in dosbox.conf??
