I had the same errors as you in MS-DOS 6.22. Did you use the two disk install from archive.org? Did you get any errors during the install? Here is how I got it to work: 1. Create a C:\TANKSIN directory mkdir C:\TANKSIN 2. Copy all the contents of disk1 to C:\TANKSIN XCOPY /E A:\*.* C:\T

Hi! Actually FreeDOS may work with > 504 MB after all. You mentioned that using a FAT16 CHS partition made with MS DOS FDISK boots okay after you install FreeDOS on it, while a FAT32 partition did not. Your FAT32 partition may have been CHS or LBA. If it was LBA, maybe FAT32 works, but LBA does

What's the game you're trying to run and how much RAM do you have? I'm just thinking that if we can try and replicate the issue we might be able to figure it out. On Mon, 28 Nov 2022, 18:08 Tomas By, wrote: > On Mon, 28 Nov 2022 17:32:19 +0100, tom ehlert wrote: > > run without JEMM386 > > > I
