What's up with Space Quest 2?
Hello.

It also crashes on 1.1.3. I don't remember exactly what went wrong with 1.0.2.1 since it was a while ago.
OK, I have downloaded something called the Space Quest, which turned to be a game dated 1987 with CGA graphics, by Sierra. If this is the game you mentioned, then it works fine here under dosemu-1.1.3.1 with PC-DOS 7.0, so you have to check your local configs.

That is Space Quest 1, which doesn't work either. However, I downloaded an archive from the web, and that works! It is the installation from my CD that fails.

I have now done some more investigation. This is what gets installed if I install with the dosemu cdrom driver:
agi hgc_font logdir picdir sq.com vol.0 agidata.ovl _install.bat object snddir viewdir words.tok
And this is what gets installed when I use lredir:
agidata.ovl hgc_graf.ovl _install.bat vg_graf.ovl vol.2 cga_graf.ovl hgc_objs.ovl jr_graf.ovl vol.0 words.tok ega_graf.ovl ibm_objs.ovl sq.com vol.1
None of the above is complete.

Could you try both cases and send (mail) me a complete D+Dd log of the installation process. Please bzip2 the log since those logs are big but compress extremely well.

That's strange indeed, anyway, it becomes an academic exercise then.
Anyway, the port it complains about (0x200) usually is the joystick port. Clarence Dang has now contributed a nice joystick emulation patch that I'll put in dosemu 1.1.3.2. Then we will be able to use the joystick without (suid-)root direct port access, but instead using the Linux driver.
