Thank you for you feedback.
Did you download the sdl dlls and put them in the same directory as the executable? Also, you need the font.bin and extfont.bin files for the CGA fonts. Although I put a lot of work into the emulator it is still in the very early stages of development. It far from complete and the CPU still has a few stubborn bugs.
Thank you for the suggestion, at the moment I am not going to include 80186 instructions. I might add those as an option if I ever get it to run most pure 8086 games in any remotely stable fashion.
To even have a chance of running your games:
Download the following files and put them in the same directory:
8086 Emulator.exe
EXTFONT.BIN
FONT.BIN
SDL2-CS.dll
SDL2.dll
Put this in a text file:
[script]
c
# for cga support: (color text mode support limited atm)
mda off
reset
cd [drive + full path of game]
exe [game executable]
e
scr on
It mostly only runs simple text mode stuff. The only graphical game that I have found that will work without issues is Paratroopers. Other games just crash or exhibit bizarre bugs. I sometimes get the feeling I bit off way more than I can chew even trying to create this.
My emulator is not very user friendly. It's mostly a personal project I am sharing in the hope that other people who don't mind tinkering with a really technical program and are just as into the low level technical stuff as me.
