SketchCow, do people consider VICE to be smoother than DOSBox? Or are they about the same? |

Reason I may seem obsessed is just my code currently has a timing rework in it and I want to figure out if I should just move ahead with it, before I start more builds |

I consider that issue closed and it's on me to combine the relevant images |

Hi guys. I have a DOS question, not really jsmess. But I figured there might be someone here who could help. If not, no worries. I'm trying to run an old DOS program.. It's a "chain" for WWIV BBSes, called TradeWars 2001 (not the later TradeWars 2002). Whenever I try to execute a program which requires a parameter, I get "I/O Errors" and I can't figure out what they mean. |
17:14
🔗
|
Kirkman |
For example, if I put "EXTERN CHAIN.TXT" to call the extern.com program, the program aborts with "I/O Error 01, PC=835E" |
17:15
🔗
|
Kirkman |
Or similarly if I try "TW2001 CHAIN.TXT" to call the main TW2001 program, it aborts with "I/O Error 01, PC=A128". |
17:16

Kirkman |
This is happening inside DOSBOX. I've tried it many times off and on in both 0.74 and the latest 0.74-2. |
17:16
🔗
|
Kirkman |
Anyway, does anyone know DOS well enough to suggest what I'm doing wrong (or need to change)? |
18:15

|
shattered |
perhaps it doesn't like dosbox disk simulation |
18:15
🔗
|
shattered |
not sure if it presents the disks as local or networked |
18:15
🔗
|
shattered |
what if you put the file on a simulated floppy? |
18:43
🔗
|
Kirkman |
Now that I'm looking at this more, I think these might be Turbo Pascal errors rather than DOS errors |
18:45

Kirkman |
Maybe "01 File does not exist" http://computer-programming-forum.com/29-pascal/cb72317ba1fa691d.htm |

I know dosbox's dos simulation is not complete, particularly in areas that are used by non-game software |
18:46
🔗
|
Kirkman |
I did have an "F1" error earlier when the CHAIN.TXT file I was using referenced nonexistent drives (G: and E:, which I changed to C: and C:) |
18:47
🔗
|
DFJustin |
so you may need to use a DOS boot disk in dosbox or a full emulator like MAME |
18:48

Kirkman |
I hadn't thought about MAME. I'll give that a try. |
