ah i found a more specific bug using TED5 from https://github.com/sparky4/16-0 i tried to scrolling and it crashes Wolfenstein 3d crashes in the demo i think there is a bug in the software with love, sparky4 Administrator of 四葉の芽◇ちゃんねる On Sat, Nov 4, 2023 at 10:03 AM Eric Auer via Freedos-devel < freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > > Hi! > > > FDXMS286.sys is the driver i am using > > it works with wolf3d code but not the dos game code. i made a work around > > but there might be a bug in that xms driver's code > > Please be more specific about what went wrong and which > work around in which code snippet resolved the problem. > I think a workaround in FDXMS286 could be a good idea. > > Regards, Eric > > > > > > ___ > Freedos-devel mailing list > Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel > ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
Re: [Freedos-devel] i have a tech question about 286 and XMS
FDXMS286.sys is the driver i am using it works with wolf3d code but not the dos game code. i made a work around but there might be a bug in that xms driver's code with love, sparky4 Administrator of 四葉の芽◇ちゃんねる On Fri, Nov 3, 2023 at 1:00 PM Ralf Quint via Freedos-devel < freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > On 11/2/2023 1:25 PM, sparky4 insano via Freedos-devel wrote: > > i think i may of found a bug? > > there is stability issues with Wolfenstien 3D (specifically running > > the demo for random amounts of time) with this XMS driver. > > it will crash and lock up the entire pc. > > Which XMS driver?

Re: [Freedos-devel] i have a tech question about 286 and XMS
i think i may of found a bug? there is stability issues with Wolfenstien 3D (specifically running the demo for random amounts of time) with this XMS driver. it will crash and lock up the entire pc. with love, sparky4 Administrator of 四葉の芽◇ちゃんねる On Thu, Nov 2, 2023 at 3:16 PM sparky4 insano wrote: > fancy! > with love, > sparky4 > Administrator of 四葉の芽◇ちゃんねる > > > On Wed, Nov 1, 2023 at 11:26 PM Bret Johnson via Freedos-devel < > freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > >> FWIW, Microsoft's HIMEM.SYS is compatible with 286 CPUs (and also with >> 386+).

[Freedos-devel] i have a tech question about 286 and XMS
is there any supported XMS driver for 286 that FreeDOS provides? himemx dose not support it and the fd286xms driver is old and not supported. maybe i could work on it. yes i have a 286 xD it's just frustrating that everything requires a 386 with love, sparky4 Administrator of 四葉の芽◇ちゃんねる ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
