MS DOS Emulation

What exaclty is your board keropi?

Does a 386 Commodore bridgebaord allows to play Alone in the Dark or such serious games?

I have PCTask 4.4 here and still have to install it to give it a try.
How does it compare to a 386 or 486 bridgeboard on a A1200 with a no FPU 060@66Mhz and RTG board?
Could it run Alone in the Dark well as keropi shown in this topic?

4.4 is still a commercial version as far as i know.

OK, anyone who wants some speed comparisons of emulators let me know.

I have, in order of PC speed (roughly):

1x A500 with KCS PowerPC board (NEC V30@10.7MHz)
1x A1500 with A2286 bridgeboard (10MHz I think)
1x A1500 with A2386 bridgeboard (25MHz)
1x A1500 with GoldenGate 486SLC25
1x A4000 (060@50, CSPPC@200, Voodoo III) with full PC-Task 4.4. Also full PCx.
1x AmigaOne (G4@800) which I think can run Bochs and PC-Task possibly

and also the obligatory A500s, A600, A1000, A1200 spare.

So if anyone wants me to test anything on any of the above let me know, but preferably
no large programs on my KCS board please (see the post I'm about to make re that!)

Interesting.
Could you try the above mentioned Alone in the Dark on both the 060 with PCTask and the A1500 with A2386? Or any PC based benchmark?
Would you sell one of these board by the way? Or trade (i have some serious hardware available)?

I am currently trying MSDOS 6.22 with PCTask 4.4.
I have all four HD MSDOS install disk and my A1200 has a PC HD drive with a Catweasel.
I configured this drive as A: on the PCTask side but it keeps saying me "invalid boot disk" on startup, though the floppies are perfectly read on the WB side.
Anyone would have those disks in 720 Ko version so i can boot on my DF0:?

I have managed to run PCTask 4.4 with MSDOS 5.0.
I can't get past the intro screen of Alone in the Dark for now, but Wolfenstein 3D works well on my 060@66Mhz.

However, i can't get the games to run on Picasso screen (i have an Ateo Pixel64 RTG board on this computer) though i configure the screen mode. The black screen of DOS runs on RTG but the game itself goes PAL through my scandoubler.

Anyone running more games on it?


PS: by the way, just want to say that this thread is quite fun and thanks to it i have finally forced myself to use PCTask. I was usually to lazy to do that on my own. I hope there will be a straitforward thread called "Mac emulation" soon :-)
