Game Titles Which Crash DOSEmu 1.3.3

Game Titles Which Crash DOSEmu 1.3.3

[T.P. Reitzel]

If needed, more information will come in a couple of months, but these 
titles should be readily available:

1) Links 386 by Access Software
2) Shadow of the Comet by Atari for DOS
3) Alone in the Dark by Infogrames

All of these titles crash the DOSEmu emulator.

O/T Questions:
Does a firm date exist for adding FM synthesis to DOSEmu?

O/T Observation:
Console graphics do NOT work with DOSEmu 1.3.3 even with VESA selected. 
Running some games from the console is much nicer than from X because of 
smoother operation of the controls.

Patch at http://www.dosemu.org/stas.
Development is stalled due to a licensing disagreement.

Have not had time to test it myself though.

What is the error message...?

Thanks for pointing me to Stas' patch. I applied his patch cleanly 
against the latest SVN, but I'm getting an error when running, make :

Makefile.conf:86: *** missing separator.   Stop.

The aforementioned line contains @USE_ALSA@

Maybe, Stas will read this e-mail. ;)

Is the licensing problem over sound issues, i.e. Creative Technology?

Since I'm in the process of moving, it'll be a couple of months before I 
can return to the problems with those games, but some of them are easily 
found on websites like mobygames.com if anyone else has the time to 
investigate.

BTW, thanks Clarence and everyone else for your work on DOSEmu. It's 
still the best and fastest DOS emulator for Linux IMO.

Maybe, if you CC me.
Anyway, I updated the page with an instructions of
how to use that patch.

No, it is with dosemu. And until/unless they are resolved,
I don't think the development and this list will advance
any noticeably.
For those who haven't got a reply in that list for the
last few months (and it seem to be a lot of people) I
suggest them to post their questions to the SF tracker
(Support Requests category) and wait till the better times.
There is still a hope the better times will come. :)
