1.0	Introduction

All Games tested at least twice, to be sure the "errors" are reproducable.
I also tested the games after a fresh start of DSx86, because I occasionally got "out of memory" problems when starting a game after running DSx86 for a while.


1.1 	Logged Games and comments

Burntime	opcode after start (Burn)

Call of Cthulhu -Shadow of the Comet- 	plays great but without music. "unsupported I/O port" when entering config-menu, after that I got an unsupported opcode in 4DOS (COC) (sys. req. 286, 12MHZ, 640kb, VGA)

History Line 1914-1918/The Great War 1914-1918	opcode after choosing campaign, "cursor-duplicates"-on the menu [attn. slow intro (~2min)] (HL) (sys.req. 286/16MHZ)

Troddlers	This game auto-detects mousedriver on startup, then immediately gives an "user-requested breakpoint" (Troddler) (could not find any system requiremts on the net)

2.	Remarkable stuff

The game Mad TV
Runs great with workaround:
when starting mtv.exe, DSx86 immediately goes (back?) to 4DOS. I then just hit Button Y and it does a few "HDD"-seconds on 4DOS, after that I hit Button A and the mtv.exe begins to load just fine.
So... I don´t know what it does there, but it works.
(using touchpad support the cursor jumps to upper left corner, already known problem)

The game Neuromancer
Runs great, touchpad is a bit off the hook:
In touchpad-support-mode,  the cursor and the stylus are on the same spot when being on the left. The more you go to the right, the bigger the distance between stylus and cursor will become. (it´s ok although, because you can still reach every spot on the screen)
