Is there any standard way to make dosbox text mode output in 4:3 aspect? Currently, Dosbox always use 8:5 for text modes. For 320x200 etc we have aspect=true in the config. it not work for text modes. Tnx.

The problem is - DosBox and FAT have troubles with large HDDs. Add -freesize 500 in the "c:" mount line. Something like "mount c d:\12345 -freesize 500"

Nay, the trouble is in-game Escape Player from Eidos, known as very Xp unfriendly. In my case the game start w/o errors in Win98 comparability mode.

I just don't have 2 CD-drives in my old PC - only 1. If I found another IDE CD-drive for testing - I tell you the results.

1) Try another driver, gcdrom.sys as example (plus this driver support SATA devices in DOS). If I remember correctly, this driver has /C switch. So, in config .sys you have something like device=gcdrom.sys /d:mscd000 /c1 device=gcdrom.sys /d:macd001 /c2 c1, c2 - IDE channels with cd-drives... Then - …

Your low-lewel cd-rom driver in config.sys create 2 devices in ms-dos. MSCD000 and MSCD001 as example. Now just use the /d and /l command-line switches for mscdex: mscdex /d:mscd000 /l:d /d:mscd001 /l:e

Trouble is - Win98 and WinMe have broken memory manager - any amount RAM after 512 Mb can create hang/BSOD/crash (officially Me have 3 Gb RAM limit). Plus, with 512+ Mb RAM you do not have free handlers for programs w/o some tweaking - "no free virtual memory" message. So, msconfig with 512 Mb limit …

The only slight trouble with DT 3.47 is - if you use mds format, you can't be sure you mount this image w/o troubles. Structures of mds were changed several times, so - AFAIR any mds from 2.x version is not DT3.47-comparatible. Ccd/img/sub or .cue/.bin is the way. :) Or just mount mdf (mount/all …

From the personal experience: 1. I don't try Win98se + WinMe on the same partition. 2. No GPU drivers for anything after Rageon X850 or GeForce 6xxx. 3. No Hyper-threading is possible - in my case this is the cause for Catalyst hang. 4. No 512+ Mb RAM support. Run msconfig and check the box for this …

By the way, DO NOT install 1.02 patches. Two new bugs - in-game timer resetting (your savegames is with 0:00 timestamps, very annoying) and all level items reappearing bug . The last bug prevent you from second Moonburger for PAL-18, so - no Shadow Bracers and last weapon for PAL. I finish the game …

Tnx, this msvcrt.dll error bugged me a lot. Now I at last finish this game (maybe?) Maybe you also know how to find the "tooth" in Votowne?
