DOS Chess games package
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2021 2:34 pm
Greetings. I am trying to get a huge package of DOS Chess games (over 100, if you include the different versions of various games) that was originally created by Franz Huber as a package that would run all the games on either DOS-Box or QEMU. I'm trying to get them to run on a bootable USB drive so that I can run them on pure DOS for the speed increase, which is substantial. For example, for one game I tested the nodes/second (or moves/second analyzed), was 150,000 nodes/sec for DOS-Box, 200,000 nodes/sec for QEMU, but 2,000,000 nodes/sec running directly on DOS.
Problem is, only about a third of them work on my gaming PC (running Windows 10). I'm only given a choice between Standard Configuration and Extended Configuration when I start the overall program. Standard Configuration doesn't work at all, and Extended Configuration lets me run no more than 1/4 to 1/3 of the programs. I don't know enough about DOS to be able to fix the problem so they all work. Anyone out there who would be willing to look at the package and see if they can figure out the problem?
It's an amazing package, including many versions of some of the best DOS Chess Games ever, including Fritz, Rebel, Chess Genius, Battle Chess, HIARCS, Chessmaster, etc.
