Hello.

I've already got it working on my laptop in an older CVS version, but on my main workstation it quits everytime with an XMS error.

When exactly it stopped to work? I think it doesn't work also on 1.2.2, so it is not something recent.

Has much been changed to these sections in Dosemu lately?

Yes. But when and why that game stopped working noone knows (noone cares either I think, well, it you can say when it started to fail, this may still be somewhat interesting).

What kind things I should try to get this game to work properly?

Disable dosemu's XMS support, use the native himem.sys...

The (working) version on my laptop seems to be from 26-12-2004. The version on my main computer that doesn't seem to work is from 25-02-2005.

Is there anything special I need to do to disable Dosemu's XMS support (using the default configuration)?

Thanks,
