agumaSpark & DOS
Spark won't work under DOS 7.1/VirtualBox for some reason. I tested it, and it always gets stuck at the point when the program sets the resolution. Why is that? I just use screenres 320,200,2,1 and it always gets stuck. And if you know why, how would I make it work? Thanks!		2009-03-266:17 PM

Does it work under DOS 5 or 6?		2009-03-267:33 PM

I'm not sure, DOS 7.1 was the only version I could find. If you could give me a link to download it (not on vetusware), I guess I could try it out.		2009-03-269:20 PM

It could be that maybe DOS 7.1 doesn't interface with SVGA/VESA or maybe it's in protected mode to deny any access to super graphics resolutions.		2009-03-2611:35 PM

I never got SCREENRES to work in DOS.		2009-03-274:13 PM

But then what's the point of making a DOS GUI if it's not going to work for DOS!?		2009-03-274:58 PM

Use the SCREEN command.		2009-03-275:58 PM
