That basically means "lock: movsb" does not work, but it also mentions that CS:EIP is almost at 0, so your game probably "jumped into nowhere" first and the data there was not okay for running as program which is why jemmex kicked you out. > I said me: "this is a problem with JEMMEX", and I tested with EMM386 of MS > DOS 7.10 but... crashed too. > > Invalid Opcode at FFFF 66CF 3207 0035 00 > 00 0000 0080 33C8 07BF 33D8 07E4 33D8 00 > 00 Now you jumped into a nowhere at another location: ffff:somewhere. > Finally, I tested with a bootdisk of MS DOS 7.10 with JEMMEX and with EMM386 > and all went right. That is odd, as I would normally assume that the main cause of the problem is jemmex and emm386 allowing you to use some UMB or page frame memory which is already in use by some of your BIOS functionality or hardware. You normally work around such problems by trying a few different X=?000-?fff options for the jemmex or emm386 (you should also try jemm386 and the classic freedos emm386) to eXclude one or more areas. Use c, d, e or f at the place of the questionmark. > By all these things, I think there is a problem in the Freedos > Kernel about this game. Not sure - to test, it would be useful to know where Alone in the Dark can be downloaded (please do not email files!) and which license it has... > PS: Alone in the Dark 2 need EMS memory. Then you cannot X=a000-ffff or similar extreme excludes, but you can still exclude smaller areas as suggested above :-). > PS2: I use Freedos Kernel build 2038[version Mar 9 2008 > compiled Jun 02 2008] >From http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ I assume?
