Re: Op Code Errors On x86_64 AMD

Hi my friend

i have same problem with AMD x4
and my only solution is Centos 5.4 32bit platform and a small code to patch
original dosemu 1.4 source to not complain about unknown processor

why?

because compiling from SVN looks like things work, but not. With 1.4 things
are OK and work well on 32bit
In my case this is acceptable solution because i use dedicated server for
DOS/PARADOX

good luck
