Documentation: Battlecruiser 3000AD v2.09 in dosbox-x #233

BC2000AD v2.09 runs until general protection faults under DOS. This may occur on real hardware, too, but there is a workaround. Run HDPMI32 instead of the default DOS/4GW 32-bit DOS extender.

HDPMI32.EXE is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20140723104828/http://www.japheth.de/HX.html#hxdl

First run this command in dosbox-x: HDPMI32.EXE -r Then run: BC3000AD.EXE

This should fix the slow menu screens and the general protection faults.

I'm thinking of adding this to a section like 'some KB for games' in the documentation then close it.
