Hi there,
Very good dos emulator tool. Loads of games are support, still some very important ones are still left behind. Is there any work beeing done around this?
Thx in advance.

Every game you see in the screenshot post is protected mode.

"Left behind" is not the proper way to describe it. It's not like an easy thing that they just don't do because they're not in the mood.
Emulation of a PC is horribly complex. It's not like emulating a console, where once you've emulated the hardware, you are basically done (occasional game glitches will appear). There are untold combinations of hardware for a PC, which makes emulating all of the games near impossible.
I don't believe that there is a single PC that can run every single PC game without emulation. I better stop this speech before it gets out of control...*heh*
Don't expect miracles from the protected mode support when it will be present. It's very hard to create something that works with everything (for reasons Nicht Sehr Gut described)
Futher will it be likely highly unstable and very slow.
It's a new path that has been taken and it will take time to mature.

Well, thank you for such a short time response. Well i know it ain't easy. I'm a computer engeneer myself, but about emulating DOS i know nothing about.
I didn't want to make it sound easy, just that i loved DosBox specs that what's really missing are protected mode games.
Good work, and thx again.
