As moe stated, change the mixing blocksize to a smaller setting in the DOSbox.conf file. When it stops lagging and it doesn't stutter, then you've hit the mark. Remember to keep things incremental for accurate testing.

The real reason isn't having to switch disks for cutscenes as much as the little loading times when the game pauses to load in a sound file from the disk. Since this can happen when you are inspecting items in your inventory or in the 3d world, it can break the rythym of play. It may not sound that …

Is there any way to do this? Before I start going crazy and copying all of the files to my HD, I would like to know if it's even possible to tell the game to look there for the videos and sound bites. I just hate the pausing before reading the disks and the constant swapping of disks. It is such an …

Howdy! I have Darklands on CD and have tried installing through DosBox 0.65 only to find out that the darn thing wants me to have a printer hooked up on LPT1 before the install will commence!! Strange, no? The question is: can I trick it into thinking that there is a printer hooked up there using …

I would recommend using EXULT instead. It is specific to U7 and Serpent Isle and runs both with optional improvements to the games (can be toggled off if you prefer original). http://exult.sourceforge.net/ Have fun!

What cpu core are you using? For non-intensive DOS games, I use normal (fewer chances for error). Also make sure that you aren't running other programs that might hinder DosBox and that your copy of Wasteland isn't compromised. Did you set the dos memory to the max (63m)?

I have had them running (not with VESA higher res though, too slow :) ). Is this the re-release version that was meant for windows (came with AOD:Command, etc)? I have not tried that particular version, as I do not have it... Should be the same, but will get back to you, if answer is in the …

USE XMS and EMS!!! TRY SURFACE RENDERER and NO SCALING CYCLES @ 16000 (sound might be off) INSTALL W/O MUSIC (if possible) DISABLE OTHER SOUND-DRIVERS NOT USED (Disney etc) NO DBL BUFFER (slower with) USE SMALL VIDEO INSTALL (may not be needed, only if others tried) USE MAX DOS MEMORY (63k) GOOD …

I use D-Fend and it works slick, even with the latest release :) You might want to disable XMS and EMS (they won't be needed and can cause older games, such as Darklands for example, to bug out with too much memory...) Also, there is a difference with the renderer's and their options based on …

You have to re-enter the original Tavern and then quit and save (should be in options there). It is called, "Save Party" and is VERY essential, as the game is TOUGH. Anytime (though mostly at night) you can get brutalized!! by a monster that is way too strong :) If you have the original map (rare) …

I have played the game extensively on my old 486, but confess that I have no idea what these "item cursors" are. Perhaps it is my memory, or some feature I never used (different control scheme perhaps... I always used the keyboard/numberpad exclusively). Please clarify. ed. As I think about it, you …

Switch off XMS in dosbox (I use DFend, a frontend loader available on DB site). Darklands has too much memory and crashes otherwise.
