Re: 303 acme demo
If you stub the executable with DOS/32A, replacing the DOS/4GW extender, it will start, detect the SB etc. However, after "unpacking vocals", it will throw a white/grey blinking screen and that would be all, nothing more happens. You can hit ESC and after a while it will exit to DOS prompt.

With the default DOS/4GW, using the Q87 FPU emulator it will also start (much slower than using DOS/32A and no FPU emulation) but will just throw a black screen and do nothing after "unpacking vocals" part is done.

Tested under DOS 7.1, different memory managers + Q87 FPU emulator. I didn't dissect it further, if it really needs FPU or simply better CPU.
