Tie Fighter works in Pandora QEMU! It needs to have Extended Memory (EMS) available to work properly.
Clocked to 1000 it performs similar the new Dynarec DOSBox but has better mouse support.
Works best in FreeDos 1.1 or MS-DOS (Tested with 6.22 and 7.1) but is slower and in DR-DOS with JEMMEX.EXE.
Here is how to do it:
1. Create a 500MB image using the Imagetools tab on the Pandora or using QEMU on the PC.
2. Install FreeDOS 1.1 from FreeDOS 1.1 Base CD [fd11src.iso] avaliable here:
http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/
3. Copy the existing FDCONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for backups.
4. Only these lines are need in the respective files to enable enough EMS to play the TIE Fighter Floppy Disk Version with the Defenders of the Empire Campaign.
For FreeDOS 1.1 use:
EDIT: JEMMEX.EXE can be used without HIMEMX.EXE so it frees 2K of conventional memory, use it instead of JEMM386.EXE.
EDIT2: DOS=HIGH
,UMB frees 4K of conventional memory.
In FDCONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\HIMEMX.EXE
DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMM386.EXE FRAME=D800
DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMMEX.EXE FRAME=D800
DOS=HIGH,UMB
In AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET PATH=C:\FDOS\BIN\
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330
MOUSE
For MS-DOS 6.22 and 7.1 use:
In CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.EXE
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE I=E000-EFFF M9 RAM
DOS=HIGH,UMB
In AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET PATH=C:\DOS\
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330
MOUSE
The TIECD DOS version can also work in QEMU but loading the MSCDEX environment slows it to a crawl so I left it out.
The TIE Fighter Demo will also work with this setup.
