PEK,

As the author of QEMUMenu, I can tell you that I only tested it on
Windows 2000/XP hosts as I no longer have anything older that that
around.

There are most likely batch file commands/syntaxes missing from both
NT4 or Windows 9x that are in use, but at present I don't know what
they are...

As for QEMU crashing silently, that is normal and one of my pet
peeves, it doesn't ever tell you why it crashed (just returns a
non-zero exit code I believe)...  It could be a syntax error in the
command or a dependency problem (i.e. directx for the video card
emu/frame buffer)...

Cheers,

-G

Thanks for your answer. When it comes to the menu I don't care much about
that, I mostly use the command line instead. It may be possible to get it to
work in NT4, but not in Win9x sense the command line is much more limited
there. I maybe write a GUI if I find some time and, of course, get some of
the newer version of qemu to start :-).

The silent crashes are very annoying. I tested a nightly build but that
behaved the same. If anyone have a solution I'm willing to test that. I
guess it is a decency problem. Maybe it's directx causing the problem, only
dx3 is supported in NT4. But I have tested in Win98 with dx9 (if I remember
correctly) but it also dies their silently to, so maybe it's something
else...

I attached a small utility that can change a GUI program into a console
program (and vice-versa). Use it with qemu, then run qemu from command-line,
and you should see why it's failing.

I have no idea what it did, but now qemu behaves like it should have done
from the beginning :-). Now error messages are finally printed. Thanks a
lot!

The was a network problem, "GetNetworkParams failed. ret = 00000032. Could
not get DNS address". GetNetworkParams is not supported in NT4, so that's
probably why it crash. I used "-nics 0" to solve the problem, and now it
starts again. I will test more in the weekend and report what I have found.

Thanks again.

PEK
