VESA 2.0 Under DOS

[AmintaMister]

Flynnsbits's answer from a year or 2 ago is still as valid as it was when he posted it. VESA won't work on this core in its current state.

Where did he say that? And as I mentioned in my post above, I was able to get it working in my setup.

Edit: Ah, I see where he said it now, but if you keep reading, @alexoughton did seem to figure it out, and as mentioned I was able to get it working with SDD653 using his posted settings.

So is Rayman working?

I’ll give it a shot now that I’ve got a working VHD with UniVBE

Alright, so I tried Rayman in my VHD with UniVBE and now it actually doesn't show a bunch of random characters on the screen anymore and I get the blue bar at the top that says "Rayman (EU) v1.12" with a blinking cursor. Unfortunately, the game just hangs at the blinking cursor

So...kind of progress? But still no dice.

Uhm ok, thanks for trying!

I've been looking further, and I've now found a solution which works for all resolutions and has passed every test I've thrown at it.

Use version: SDD653-D
Commands:

Code: Select all

uvconfig -s10 -c5 -m4096 -l248 -d9 -k54 -b
config -s10 -c5 -m4096 -l248 -d9 -k54 -b
univbe

Found out that a rather obscure game, Surface Tension from 1996, would NOT run actually without this
Without UNIVBE set:
