| Japo | Okay. But talking about the patch would be within the poin --getting JF2 to work... |

Ah yes, I knew about the sound --not about the rest. My old P3 had a SBPCI128 which included SB16 emulation drivers, but I did hear that more recent cards did not include nor support them. And playing without sound sucks most times. I got the patch, some .DIFF file, but I'm clueless as to how to compile it in or whatever is necessary. Ah well, anyway my joystick can't be plugged into my new USB-only computer any longer. |

for dos there is no hardware border. but ems memory proves difficult with modern motherboards and speed issues will arise. VGA and SVGA compatility with current videocards is diffult as well soundcards with dos drivers are getting rare as well. Btw It seems somebody at the DOSBox forum found the problem with this game and submitted a patch to fix it. |

| Japo | Indeed. But I was wondering, at the risk of straying way off topic, what would happen if a DOS partition was installed --or attempted to-- in a new computer? Where is the hardware border, and why does it exist? I had successfully installed a DOS 6.22 partition in my old Pentium III 450 MHz and every game worked fine, without running too fast or anything. |

else hope it works in the next version of DOSBox. |

| The Fifth Horseman | Second-hand 486's can be found at very convenient prices. |

| Japo | Unfortunatelly the seller --it's packaged along with 15 other DOS games-- only warns that it's a DOS game, so he appears to be saying that a DOS machine is necessary. It's a pity, the game is nearly as good as dead until a version of DOSBox supports it, if ever. |

| The Fifth Horseman | If all fails, you can always buy a second-hand 486 machine and configure it for DOS gaming. |

The game is still sold according to the old warez list. Perharps the seller knows more about it ? |
