XMS problem with Aladdin demo
Hello.

The (working) version on my laptop seems to be from 26-12-2004.
Oh, that's strange.

Is there anything special I need to do to disable Dosemu's XMS support (using the default configuration)?
How one is supposed to disable/enable something without changing the config? :) You'll have to alter it by setting $_xms=(off). Don't forget to also update your ems.sys and see what diagnostic it prints on startup. Then update your config.sys to load himem.sys before ems.sys.

Ah, stupid of me :d
I had forgot to copy the new version of the config file to /etc/dosemu, so I hadn't seem the new comments.
I've now got it working with himem.sys on my main comp. (My laptop was still using the Dosemu builtin stuff.)
I've still got one question though. With the default config, there are very long delays in the sound. Changing $_oss_max_frags = (0x20) to (0x5) seems to fix this. I have this on both my workstation and my laptop. Is this because of a crappy driver/audiochip? Is there any reason the default isn't set lower? Thanks again,
Julius
