Crash when running Protected Mode applications (ARM/Linux)

Open hooby3dfx opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Using default setting, when loading a Protected Mode application (for example Warcraft 1) the core/retroarch will crash.

This can be remedied by setting core=normal in Dosbox.conf.

I suspect this is due to the default core setting of auto:

For protected mode programs it switches to dynamic core, if available.

Found in Linux/ARM.

It works on android armv7 and mac x64. What version of linux? If you are using retropi you may just have a very old version with broken dynarec.

I am using an Orange Pi with the latest build of Lakka, which includes 9aef72b.
