Old games that use Internet Explorer for in game interfaces
Posted on 2021-12-20, 23:34
Hi I recently tried the early 2000s mindscape/anuman interactive release "Train Set Builder" as it was a decent budge train set builder. This worked for me in windows 10 a couple years ago, but now when i try it, the ingame toolbox panel, from which one selects track objects , does not work - the …
Config.sys file creation during game installations
Posted on 2021-10-16, 07:56
I have noticed something recently installing some games in dosbox, which perhaps has always come up but i havent noticed it before: when installing SVGA Air Warrior v1.13 today (outside of dosbox) during the install a message comes up : "The CONFIG.SYS file was not found on the install drive, A copy …

Well, wait and see how it goes after playing awhile, as there may be only a reduced frequency of the cache block problem. Anyway, more memory is not always better in DOS games, because too much can and does cause issues in some cases. i have tried AF2 again and again no crash - completed the 2nd …

oh okay, well maybe then make the dynamic core cache block size=1024? or some other much larger number?

thanks- i have dosbox-x and see in its conf settings that there is the entry dynamic core cache block size=32 i did see this in teh SVN daum dosbox also - another version i was trying AF2 with, i was thinking i had to make the amount larger, but this had no effect on the crashing, - are suggesting …

i am running dosbox on my windows 10 64bit system i had my memsize still on 63 - i had on that from some earlier tests, i changed it to 31 and ran it on auto and no crash for the whole Rollout mission in the Provide Relief campaign - i hope this means the problem might be gone with the memsize on 31 …

and is your core set to auto? yes my version is patched to 1.03
Re: Armored Fist 2 ctd in dosbox
Posted on 2021-09-15, 00:46
okay although the game still crashes out with the core set to auto in the SVN build r4465, if i run the game with normal core and cycles at 100000 it actually is not too bad, it is faster than standard dosbox . the only thing is the sound gets a bit choppy, but no crashes which is good. I applied …

update - looks like it still crashes even with teh cd contents in a "d" folder, i tried it also not with the program you suggested justyet, but i will. i was just trying it firstly with another suggestion i got - slowread.com which i think you also created. - Sadly it still crashed with the out of …

thanks again for the help - did you run it by making a folder to put the cd contents in mounting that folder as d drive instead of an ISO? i do have the actual AF2 disk somewhere in my game collection, i havent tried it with that yet
Re: Armored Fist 2 ctd in dosbox
Posted on 2021-09-14, 14:28
thanks - i thought core on auto did usually just go to normal, but thats not the case clearly. i just found another thread here about AF2 and that person found they had issues mounting an iso, and instead just copied the contents to a folder, so i have tried that and i ran through a whole mission …

Okay i am trying to get Armored Fist 2 working right in dosbox - currently i have it installed and it can run passably with the cpu and core on auto and cycles at 80000, but still quite choppy and also the game will crash if you are on the map screen for too long, but also it seesm teh game will …

Good news! - i just ran a exhibition game after installing the patches from the Sierra help pages and it didnt crash! it briefly showed a score screen (seemed too brief) and went back to main menu lol - update, it actually did crash with the palette.cpp: 134 error when it went to start the next demo …

thank you for that link - helps me to make sense of what yu were saying - so if dosbox changes these, and you are able to change it back using Touch like you mentioned, Dosbox wont just change it again? i wonder if this issue causes problems on some other games, in particular regarding the copy …

yes thankyou - i was curios how exactly time stamps come to be different when using dosbox - i wonder if patching the game to version 1.03 might overcome this

thanks for that insight - i have run BBCheck and it always states all the files are valid, also the version i installed of FSP BB 94 is not cracked how exactly does dosbox change the Shell.exe? so installing it in an actual ms-dos environment on an old pentium would not cause this?
