hi all

i have a dosemu that doesnt want to run LORD anymore. i've been pretty idle
and checking out some stuff if it has been broken, but never paid any
attention to LORD or other doorgames.

starting up the game doesnt do shit, it just pushes this error message to
boot log of dosemu

* Fault out of DOSEMU code, cs:eip=33:4a5ed0, cr2=11cf, fault_cnt=1

i had a problem with LORD hanging when exiting the game, but seems that its a bigger problem. if i try to start LORD locally, that's what i get. dosemu is
in version DOSEMU 1.4.0.8-180-g35054ba (2013-08-04)

Hello h7,

i have a dosemu that doesnt want to run LORD anymore. i've been pretty
idle and checking out some stuff if it has been broken, but never paid
any attention to LORD or other doorgames.

starting up the game doesnt do shit, it just pushes this error message
to boot log of dosemu

* Fault out of DOSEMU code, cs:eip=33:4a5ed0, cr2=11cf, fault_cnt=1

i had a problem with LORD hanging when exiting the game, but seems
that its a bigger problem. if i try to start LORD locally, that's what
i get. dosemu is in version DOSEMU 1.4.0.8-180-g35054ba (2013-08-04)

That's the same version of dosemu I have here. I have been running Operation Overkill ][ without issues but I havn't tried to run lord.

I have found that adjusting $_cpu and $_cpu_emu in dosemu.conf can make a difference. I currently use $_cpu = "80486" and $_cpu_emu = "fullsim" but I don't know if that will help at all.

Ttyl :-),

FWIW, I had to downgrade to 1.4.0.7+201-028d3f-1 to get dosemu to behave.
Even going to -2 (IIRC) causes trouble.

Had this exit problem, just had to add "EXIT" to the .bat file in the "DONE" section, I think that fixed it.

thanks, i'll try that!

someone suggested adding EXIT to the end of the bat file, i do have that
there.

the thing is that dosemu hasn't been upgraded, but the system that runs the
bbs vps i have is now ubuntu lts 18.04. used to be 16.04 but even that hasnt changed that much.

I have found that adjusting $_cpu and $_cpu_emu in dosemu.conf can ma difference. I currently use $_cpu = "80486" and $_cpu_emu = "fullsim" but I don't know if that will help at all.

Here is my set up. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 (had to use dosemu from 18.04
repo though):

dosemu.conf:
------------
$_cpu = "80486"
$_cpu_emu = "fullsim"
$_external_char_set = "utf8"
$_internal_char_set = "cp437"
$_term_updfreq = (8)
$_layout = "us"
$_rawkeyboard = (0)

autoexec.bat:
-------------
@echo off
path z:\bin;z:\dosemu;d:\doors\utils
prompt $P$G
REM http://www.pcmicro.com/bnu/
lredir.com d: linux\fs\mystic
SET PKUNZIP=-)
d:
bnu
share
ansi
unix -e


I'm also loading things from a d:\doors\utils path, like bnu, share, ansi,
etc. and it's where pkunzip and other utilities live. I actually just used
the dosutils.zip from GameSrv's github repository:
https://bit.ly/gamesrv

I'm also using the PKUNZIP fix that's documented in scinet's info pack: https://scinet-ftn.org/

Hope this helps!
