Gravis Ultrasound port

Hello! I've been testing different emulated sound cards. I want to ask if it's possible to add the support of the port 220 to the Gravis Ultasound, (it currently support 240 only) It's because the port 220 is used it the SET BLASTER= option in the autoexec.bat to provide compatibility with Sound Bla...

Adlib Gold Midi not working

Hello! Firs i must say it's great to have the Adlib Gold emulation for historic reasons and to hear Dune II with the Surround Module and also play music and some games in Win 3.x. I found a bug with the Adlib Gold emulation. (I know very few games support this card). In the released PCEM v12 the Adl...

CMS/Game Blaster card not detected

Hello!

I tested the CMS/Game Blaster Card demo disk, to play the CMS music and CMSDRV.Com does not detect the card.
I tested several SVN versions of 86box and PCEM. It works in DosBox.
I also tested several 286 and 386 machines, and with the CMS option enabled (obviously)

Re: FPU on emulation of pre-486 machines...

Hello. I far as i know 287 and 387 SX/DX emulation was added in 86box, at the moment the Cyrix 486 DLC/SLC, variants and 8087 are not emulated. I tested the emulation with Windows 3.1 in MR 386 DX(it´s good because Windows don not need to emulated the FPU) and Award 286 with Windows 2.11/286 and Wor...

Re: 8086 emulation

Hello. I think the only way to be sure the game, it`s not corrupt or damaged is buying the original disk if itºs avaiable or download it with a torrent application, although it may be not legal and might contain virus, old DOS virus will not affect modern systems, and some of them may contain the ga...

Re: More SCAT chipset machines

¡Hello! Thanks for these new emulated SCAT machines, they're great additions. It would be interesting to have a 386-SX with SCAT EMS support to compare the performance and features offered by these chipsets vs. EMM386/QEMM/386MAX. If i recall correctly, the EMM emulation provided by these utilities ...

Thanks for the reply! I understand so emulating 2mb will not work accordingly the real hardware. may be in the future will be easier to emulate an 2mb EMS board for XT and 286 systems as a memory option. Sorry for asking again. I'm testing software of it's day to see how works. I found that HIDOS.SY...

The drivers install sucecifully in UMB memory (like the mouse) but the OEMSTEST.EXE from Douglas Boling. (he developed varios EMS 4.0 test in ...
