Hello.

Commander Keen seemed to run much smoother with the VGA emulation in Dosbox, which is why I asked about this.

I sent you privately the keen4/5 binaries that I
adapted for the use with dosemu. Does this help?
Is it now faster than in dosbox or still not?

I received your Keen5 executable.
When I try to run it in Dosemu, Dosemu crashes with the following error though:
ERROR: general protection at (nil): 0

The -O output gives:
ERROR: general protection at (nil): 0
ERROR: general protection at (nil): 0
Ain't gonna do it, cs=0x0, eip=0x0
And then 00| 0000:0000->000000 to 35| 0000:0000->000000

I also received the Keen4 executable now. This one seems to fix the slowdown problem completely! I runs like the original version used to ran for me in Dosemu. It still isn't faster than Dosbox though (atleast it isn't as smooth as in Dosbox, I haven't done and real performance benchmarks ;).

Thanks,
Julius
