Then this demo is faulty. But if old faulty stuff is your reference forever ... ;-)

Indeed.

And developers. They are gone. Where ? To DOG-BOX and DOG-EMU. Aren't they ?

Just need 4 GiB RAM, 10 GiB HD, and 4 x 64bit x 3GHz CPU :clap:

I'm waiting for your good DOS multitasking solution (hint: there is a tiny difference between "good solution" and "bad hack").

Since "we" have just 1 or 2 developers.

There should be a solution, and it AFAIK works according to posts in this forum.

> AMD64
Safe to ignore.

> ACPI troubles
What exactly ???

> AHCI
It works well according to posts in this forum.

> SATA
See above.

> USB
See other thread. :-)

> NTFS
Bill's private piece of crap, no relevance for DOS at all.

> BIOS bugs
Driver helps.

> multicore
Safe to ignore.

> floppy market dying
See other thread.

> wanting to use DOSEMU full-time in the future is so horrible.
Reveal how it's better than native Linux development.

> You may be laughing, i have 1024x576 matrix on my netbook.
So (only) 640x480 should work. What modes does your VESA offer ? Is 1024x576 among them ?

> Yes, after bios is loaded everything becomes stretched.
And before ???

> Is it surprise to you?

YES. It could just leave black stripes on left and right.And the height should be 600 of course, not 576.

> Various DOS file managers (e.g. NDN or DOSZip) support LFNs too!
YES. But you missclicked the smiley. Should be :-(

> As for FAT32 LFNs (and exFAT), that's almost definitely due to patents by MS

Not me.

And this is supposed to be good for DOS ??? :confused:

Nope. Just writing into VRAM. No zooming, no YUV, no filled rectangles and even less other polygons.
