Question about Raine 0.91.9 for DOS

[emulationNutt]

There's two versions of Raine 0.91.9 for DOS. rainead-0.91.9 and rained-0.91.9. I would assume "rainead" is one with ASM core, and "rained" is one with C core. However, when I launch the rainead version and look at the raine.cfg file it generates, I can see it still says "language = C" Under the "[General]" tag. So which is it? Is this actually using ASM core or not? Any help here is appreciated in helping me figure this out. Thanks!

Arf, you made a mix of everything here !

Nope, it's a for allegro, normally the dos version uses seal for its sound, but since some people reported issues with it, I tried with allegro for testing.
For a soundcard from around 2000 or before you'll have better chance with seal, but for something more recent this version might work better, not sure.

The language = C is nothing like that, this setting is just ignored by the dos version anyway, it's the international language used, C means no locale, and in this case it falls back to english. There is no translation in the dos version anyway, I don't think the libintl is supported in dos... ! (well actually there are still the very old translation files from before 2000, but they were made totally differently, and don't use the notion of locale at all).

Oops! Thanks for clearing that up for me. I've been using Raine since the DOS days, so I thought it would be fun to try it one more time. I've also used Allegro and honestly never had a problem with it's audio detection or usage in DOS mode.
