Crash when running Protected Mode applications (ARM/Linux) #53

Open hooby3dfx opened 7 years ago

hooby3dfx commented 7 years ago

Using default setting, when loading a Protected Mode application (for example Warcraft 1) the core/retroarch will crash.

This can be remedied by setting core=normal in Dosbox.conf.

I suspect this is due to the default core setting of auto:

For protected mode programs it switches to dynamic core, if available.

Found in Linux/ARM.

Dynamic core doesn't work on anything that is not x86 32bit afaik

It works on android armv7 and mac x64. What version of linux? If you are using retropi you may just have a very old version with broken dynarec.

I am using an Orange Pi with the latest build of Lakka, which includes 9aef72b.
