>CDAudio is working, but you have to install proper Sound Blaster drivers
Would be nice if you could be more specific. I can't get it working on
my Yamaha YMF724.
>FDNET has been removed
Good job devs. Remove the kernel next time. That should help make
FreeDOS better.
>*3)* A lot of games will crash because of JEMM386 exception ==> how to
fix?
Run without drivers. It will start FreeDOS in real mode without a memory
manager. Most games will not be very happy with FreeDOS' own memory
managers and will run into strange issues. Use the memory manager only
if you really need it. And you know what? With "strange issues" in
FreeDOS it's a guaranteed domino effect that may lead to OS
annihilation. Let's say, your game crashes and hangs the entire system
due to reasons. You have no way of recovering other than forcibly
restarting the computer. Now good luck if that game was in the middle of
writing anything to the FAT partition, because if that's so, your FAT
partition is now slightly more screwed up than it used to be. Keep doing
it over and over and eventually the corruption will eat away your
FreeDOS files. Don't count on FreeDOS' own FAT filesystem checking
tools. They're useless. Consider dualbooting Linux with FreeDOS just so
you can have a filesystem repair tool that actually works.
>any mention of copying anything from proprietary DOS
What's the point of running FreeDOS then if you're just gonna end up
gluing together parts of FreeDOS and Microsoft's proprietary ecosystem?
Might as well get the full Monty and install MS-DOS.

Hi, the current status for FreeDOS 1.3 RC4:
A) cannot install from CD on 486 due to low cache or low memory =>
solution is to install on Pentium, then put the drive in 486
B) FDNET has been removed, for networking download FDNET from FreeDOS
1.2 if you need
C) CDAudio is working, but you have to install proper Sound Blaster
drivers and also open the mixer to unmute CD Audio (set volume)
*I NEED HELP WITH THIS:*
*1)* If game has problem with DOS4GW.EXE, just replace it by
DOS32A.EXE from C:\FDOS\BIN (copy and rename to DOS4GW.EXE in game's
directory => sometime can even speed up the game)
*
*
*2)* Most of CD games will report CD is missing and are unable to
start ==> this is important => how to fix it? Use MSCDEX?
*
*
*3)* A lot of games will crash because of JEMM386 exception ==> how to
fix? Use MS-DOS 6.22 or Windows 98 MS-DOS 7.1 EMM386? What do you
think? Can you please help what to copy from DOS 7.1 or DOS 6.22? I
have original discs.
*CONCLUSION:*
FreeDOS right now is very powerful and offer a lot of new software and
new networking possibilities.
Can 100% MS-DOS gaming compatibility be made by copying some files
from MS-DOS?
Can you please help me with this one?
I struggle for 2 days already.
Some example of working FDCONFIG.SYS and FDAUTO.BAT with these files
would be very nice!
Thank you!
Lukas
