DS2x86 compatibility list

Page history last edited by Patrick 9 years, 6 months ago Saved with comment

DS2x86 compatibility list

 

Supported video: 320x200 CGA, 640x200 CGA, EGA (partial?), Mode-X (partial?), text mode, 640x480 SVGA (VESA)

Supported audio: Sound Blaster 8-bit DMA

 

Note: If a game seems to work okay (has no crashes whatsoever, no unsupported opcodes), mark it as Playable.

If the game has no sound at all but it works fine (see above), don't mark it as Partially Working, since sound support is not yet fully implemented. If a game has been confirmed by Patrick that it will not be able to run in DS2x86 at all, mark it as Unsupportable.

If a game fully works, sound and music, pretty much everything running smoothly, no crash issues or unsupported opcodes, mark it as Perfect and highlight the version number with this colour too.

Tips for editing

To add another row to the list, right-click in the row above where you want the new one and select add row.
Try and keep the list in alphabetical order, and put a leading "The" at the end.  (ie; Immortal, The)
Compatibility status should be kept simple. PlayableNot Working and Partially Working should be fine.

FYI - Don't confuse this list with the other DSx86 list... I did, and I'm trying to fix my error. Perhaps they should both be in the same place, and have another column listing which version of dsx86 is being used.
