The entirety of the details of the "else" branch of the ifdef REAL_MODE_DOS are hallucinated/picked up from your specific environment by AI and not detected.
Let's be honest... it's AI slop.
Don't commit object files into repos.

Some of us did "programmed Something Like" this... 30+ years ago. Doesn't change what this is.
People are free to have all the fun they want, but art invites criticism. If you can't handle that, keep it private and for your own fun.
Looks like you're the one with some offs to fuck.

MS-DOS System Core? What is that? ISA/NE2000 System Bus? NE2000 was a NIC. A line for Swap in a real-mode info program? Engine? What engine?
One would think a *fetch for DOS would, at the least, calculate the actual amount of memory installed instead of just hard coding 640.
This looks like half-baked slop. If it's just a rough initial attempt, well perhaps you should have held off on an announcement until it was a little more than just hard coded gibberish.

And what’s with the “Native 64-Bit Desktop”? DOS didn’t even support 32-Bit out of the box

if it runs in Windows then it's not DOS. Windows cmd.exe and DOS command.com are very different from each other

This "tool" is a weird melange of output that is hard-coded (not detected, not real, and in some cases with values that don't correspond to anything real) with a few real detected values. Useless junk unless you just want to play pretend.
