Hello! 😀
Recently I tested my old games and found several titles "incompatible" with DOSBox (both official 0.72 and ykhwong november versions).
1. Small shareware game Aldo Again! This game have strange font issue. Most of game graphic work as it must. But all texts in game is distorted. If I set mode manually to CGA/Hercules, graphic disappears completely, but text appears!
2. Crime Wave from Access software. It works well under Windows, but both DOSBox builds freezes just after main game start and main character jump in (lifes starts to appear and lock).
3. Several Sierra games (i think - I can be wrong with company name) with sound driver cms.drv haven't sound at all. If I manually set SB OPL mode to CMS in conf file, then when I drag&drop game's exe on DOSBox, sound still missing. But when I exit such game and going to command line of DOSBox and then start game again from it - sound appears!
4. All Silmarils games have Sound FX, but haven't music. It is quite strange, because some of such games (Colorado, for example, and Boston Bomb Club) have "music by [someone]" in credits. But I don't know whether it is music problem or simply bad games versions.
