control: block -1 by 789092 Hi
I just tested a dos exe unsuccessfully with wine-development (with dosbox installed), but succeeded with using dosbox directly [1]. http://wiki.winehq.org/DOSBox "[...]We use it to replace our Virtual 8086 Mode. We started searching for native dosbox on non-x86 targets with wine-1.3.12. For Wine releases 1.3.30 and later, we added code in Wine and DOSBox for more compatiblity. The updated DOSBox code is currently only available in the SVN Version and will be included in DOSBox 0.75." DOSBox 0.75 hasn't been released yet. Debian has dosbox 0.74-4, and a wishlist bug for the wine support in dosbox already exists (#789092). I'm adding that bug as blocking. Once a newer dosbox is available we can add a dependency with a minimal required version. If the setup is really working then, I'd suggest a recommends. Greets jre [1] wine-development INSTALL.EXE (without dosbox installed): [...] 1hwinevdm: Cannot start DOS application Z:\home\jens\Downloads\DFCD\INSTALL.EXE because the DOS memory range is unavailable.

If the game runs too fast try a fixed cycles amount in DOSBox's options. [seems to work]
