Description
What happened?
When running Commander Keen 4 EGA on a real S3 Trio64V2/DX, the screen wraps correctly when moving up on the overworld map. But in 86Box, I end up seeing flicker when I do this.
This is a 50:50 blend of 2 screenshots giving a rough idea of the kind of flicker I get - there is a hard cutoff point where everything below said point is black:
Here's a VM with a bootable disk running a bare minimum DOS 6.20 and Commander Keen 4 EGA for testing:
s3-wrap-86box-img.zip
The VM is reasonably close to the hardware I actually have, although I've brought the CPU speed down to 100 MHz (my box actually runs the CPU at 266 MHz).

Additional context
Related to this bug: #347
The main differences are:
- This is definitely a bug in 86Box confirmed against real hardware
- I'm focused on a specific S3 Trio
There's a good chance I'll end up fixing this one myself, although I'm dreading how much of the S3 code needs to be rewritten. Probably won't need to touch the 15/16/24/32bpp stuff or the acceleration stuff.
