Discworld Noir crashes after intro. Using dynamic_x86 core with software voodoo emulation in a win98 guest.

ok, but i have few questions: 1.What error are you getting , like "this program has performed illegal operation" 2.what is config file you are using? 3.what host os are you running, which version of dosbox-x you are running , and is it SDL1 or SDL2 4.log file

try setting "Core=normal" or change cpu emulation to highest

Paolo86cripple commented 3 years ago

Sorry for being unclear.

  1. I'm simply getting a simple return to windows without any error messages but with the start menu which is not visible anymore.
  2. I'll attach the config file

[sdl] autolock=true

[dosbox] title=Windows 98 memsize=64

[video] vmemsize=8 vesa modelist width limit=0 vesa modelist height limit=0

[dos] ver=7.1 hard drive data rate limit=0

[cpu] cputype=pentium_mmx core=dynamic_x86

[sblaster] sbtype=sb16vibra

[fdc, primary] int13fakev86io=true

[ide, primary] int13fakeio=true int13fakev86io=true

[ide, secondary] int13fakeio=true int13fakev86io=true cd-rom insertion delay=4000

[render] scaler=none

[voodoo] voodoo_card=auto voodoo_maxmem=true

[autoexec] IMGMOUNT C hdd.img IMGMOUNT D dnoir101.iso BOOT C:

  1. My host OS is Manjaro Linux, running SDL2 0.83.17,
  2. Where are the log files located? .config and the working directory have no log files.

Already tried setting core=normal, the result is the same. Cpu emulation is already the highest available, which I set manually every time in the menu, 'cause the game already needs a Pentium 166 MMX to run.

does the game run when you set sbtype=none?

Paolo86cripple commented 2 years ago

Yes, it DOES run perfectly after the intro with sbtype=none for some reason. Don't know why.

@Paolo86cripple that's what I expected, I have the same issue with a different environment (macOS, SDL1) since June/July. It could be an issue/bug with the SB16 emulation. I am yet to try out other cards like sb pro 1, 2 to check for a more complete understanding of the problem and give the devs a better feedback of the problem. If you could try the other cards too, that would help us both.

@Wengier @rderooy apparently it affects all platforms, not just macOS (I tested Windows under Windows 10 Pro and had the same).

Paolo86cripple commented 2 years ago

@brunocastello sbpro1 and 2 both result in a HARD crash. dosbox does not even return to windows and reboot from the menu is needed. sb16 produces the same results as vibra variant.
