@Bass I don't know what the problem is, but as a test I tried booting a disk image of PC-DOS 3.2 in vanilla DOSBox 0.74-3 and it worked fine as you mentioned. Screenshot from 2020-03-10 13-34-42.png Perhaps you should provide some more details as to what is going wrong. Also any debug messages. I …

Windows 9X is not built on top of DOS. It uses it as a bootloader and compat' layer, and sucks its brains out and takes total control of the machine once booted.

No one ? I'm using the french release of the game, if that can change something (maybe some bad localized resource IF it's specific to this release ?)

Or, if DOSBox is already running and someone is trying to start some 16-Bit stuff, - to immediately "catch" this attempt and take it over? Look at WineVDM on GitHub, it's getting close to a perfect modern Win16 layer for Win64. And I believe there is an issue there about taking over in this very …

Wow ! Thanks a lot Dege ! I had this problem too, as there was no way to fix both the game and the palette problem on the menu. Now both were fixed in an instant ! 😁

It's... complicated. The DVD Version was for owners of Windows 95 and a MPEG-2 decoding card. Old patches floating around remove this limitation and allow the game to use a software decoder. It uses VFW. It needs a third-party MPEG-2 Decoder, not shipped with Windows. ffdshow-tryouts (VFW variant) …

That's exactly it. I have a Voodoo 2, and I have the same problem with Screamer 3DFX and Carmageddon Splat Pack. I have another system with a 3DFX Voodoo 1, but I didn't bother to try DOS glide games there. On both systems, Windows Glide games work fine. Well, except Interstate '76 (hardware …

Removed imagehelp.dll and dbghelp.dll : it works ! However, when using dgVoodoo (stock configuration) v2.61, loading a mission hangs at the beginning of the loading process. Not a deal breaker (the game works fine wihout it) but I love to use dgVoodoo2 on old games in order to prevent any …

That's fantastic !! Good bye the ugly and slow software mode ! Thank you SO much ! 😁 Now that's an interesting case to keep a trace of in the PCGamingWiki page about dgvoooo2 (or on the game's page).

I'm in favor of this option too ! I think I have quite a few games that might benefit from it. I will have to test it a lot (Dark Earth slowing down on an Intel HD4000 with dgVoodoo comes to mind).
