I tried out the Direct3D patch. Pretty cool except when DOSBox attempts to switch from a game resolution (say 320x200) back to the standard DOS text resolution, I get a BSOD. Interestingly enough this only happens if I have one of the pixel shaders enabled. I belive my card supports most pixel …

I just cannot figuire out how to run this program on XP. I dont even really know how to type in MSDOS, its very frustrating and all I want to do is relive my childhood by playing Transport Tycoon. I am sorry for the idiocracy being displayed but I seriously do need some help, spoon fed. I'll see …

I've been fooling around with DOSBox for about 6 months. It has been fun times mixed with failure and success and reliving some great memories. One thing that I've noticed that really seemed strange to me is how many of these games absolutly HATE fast computers. Lets take a few examples: Terminal …

The thing is it detects the sound card regardless. The only part I'm losing is the music. I get SoundBlaster sound effects either way. If it were a problem with sound card detection, I doubt I would get any sound at all. Zone66 also has a "/s" command line option that forces the use of a …

The real interesting thing is this: At 10,537 cycles I get music, but if I set the cycles to 10,538 I lose music. What breaks at 10,538 cycles? I've fixed my problem …

Alright, I figured it out, but I'm still really confused. If someone with some technical expertise could give me a clue, I'd love it. What I did to solve the problem is try to figure out what was different about my configuration than before. Obviously I had changed something and had forgotten what …

With more testing I noticed that while the game is running, the console window (or debug window, whatever you would like to call it) is being flooded with the message "Illegal read from ef________" where "________" is what looks to be a hex address of some kind. Maybe I have a bad install of Zone 66 …

So I got Zone 66 working, awesome. There's even sound effects, double awesome. But I can't for the heck of me get any music out of this thing. What is really strange is I remember having music a while back (a couple of months ago I had to reformat, so this is a fresh install of everything). I can't …
