[Bug 21094] New: Rayman Forever (ancient DOS game) throws int33 error and doesn't start

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21094

Summary: Rayman Forever (ancient DOS game) throws int33 error
                    and doesn't start
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.35
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=25307)
terminal output when running wine start Start.bat

Issuing the command wine start Start.bat fails.

This game has a text-mode and sort-of-a-gui-mode... not really a GUI as no
mouse etc. but it does use sophisticated graphics for a DOS-game and certainly
no longer operates in DOS text-mode when it's loaded.

The text-mode phase (which takes like 0,1 second) works fine but when the game
tries to make the modeswitch to this sort-of-gui-mode it crashes with an int33
error.

If there's anything I can do to help fix this, please let me know.

Dos support in wine is a bit spotty..you might try running it in Dosbox as a
workaround.

I tried it in Dosbox, it works great, but sometimes Dosbox speeds up to a
ridiculous amount, rendering the game unplayable unless I manually limit its
CPU cycles to 1%, and then still it's not very playable. That's why I'd like to
get it to work in Wine.

If you can't/don't want to fix this I completely understand, but if there's
anything that can be done I'd gladly do what I can.

It's still a valid bug, but not many people work on the DOS code, so who knows
how long it will be until a fix is made...

INT 33h function 15h is implemented now (see commit
338dedef02f32705b98c6afa2e946e7c53ed32a6). It was not probably the problem but
please retest and tell what happens. I don't see any crash in the log.

Unfortunately, since reporting this bug I've upgraded to an amd64 machine which
means I couldn't use Wine to play this DOS game anyway even if it worked.

However, I did install a 32-bit Ubuntu in a VM to try the fix. After working
around the mmap_zero problem with sysctl, it still doesn't work on git as of
today:

err:int:__wine_emulate_instruction mov cr0,eax
winevdm: Cannot start DOS application D:\RAYMAN\CONFIG.EXE
         It failed with error code 255.
         You should install DOSBox.

I will keep the VM around in case you require further testing. Having said
that, I have somewhat lost interest in this bug as it no longer applies to my
system.

Marking abandoned, thanks.

Btw, install dosbox in your native system, and wine will use it instead, which
provides much better dos support.
