Thank you! I've been looking for the mixer and found the appropriate
settings :)
If you want to replace parts of FreeDOS with MS-DOS stuff, it's up to
you. I just don't see it going places.

CDAudio:
Freedos 1.3 since RC2 features upgraded UDVD2 driver, which fixes
CDAudio problem. The solution for you is to download UDVD2 driver from
author's website and replace it with what you have now. That is the
ultimate solution. One hint: sound card mixer have some utilities and
they might set zero volume for CD Audio. Get drivers for Yamaha and
there should be some setup utility or mixer.
Please help with solution, don't waste time with asking why and why
and why. Because I ask for it. And I ask kindly. I want FreeDOS.
That's why I'm here. If I have to hack my way around and replace some
files from original MS-DOS discs I have here on my table. Then yes I
will do it because I need FAT32 support and I want FreeDOS ecosystem
with apps.
Thank you,
Lukas

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.

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
