Exit to error: Corrupt MCB chain Press enter to continue Tested this on the latest SVN 4358. Reproduce by: 1. Run GRAPHSET.EXE then choose: 4 - EGA (IBM Enhanced Graphics Adapter) (all other modes work fine) 2. Run MM.EXE, 3. On intro screen press ALT-Q to quit. Is this the game itself ?

From the DOSBox developers: DOSBox IS NOT SUITED TO RUN YOUR NON-GAMING DOS APPLICATION I've seen multiple posts coming along in my time here, but shouldn't this be a sticky ? For running non-gaming DOS applications, it is recommended to use something that officially support them, such as DOSBox-X …

Is there a guide/post for "APP SUPPORT" that details why there is no support ?

I don't think they are from any DOS game. The biggest save games I have are only half the size. Roughly I put them in 1998 or later but its an approximation non-the-less. This is a proper puzzle, I can tell you that much 😁

If you're up for editing QuakeC yourself, here's a fix https://www.quake-info-pool.net/q1/qcenhanc.htm#armordrowning However it's not that you armor is drowning, it's absorbing the health damage done by drowning. So if you fix the bug you'll die faster. I should die faster, better motivator to get …

My armor counter is decreasing when drowning in regular water. So my armor needs air too ? That can't be right, so I think its a bug, and was confirmed by some searching. However is there a fix ? Because I could not find it that easily.

Most settings can be set from dosbox, just type: Copy code to clipboard 1 sbtype=sbpro1 But [machine] specific settings cannot, as they are initialized upon boot, iirc. EDIT: Now that I read it Copy code to clipboard 1 cycles=10000

No, it is what it says. New old stock, meaning they just sat in the warehouse ready to be sold, but weren't.

The colors you see are exactly what the game sets them to. Maybe the developers had glare on their monitors... The attached program will modify the game in memory to shift the colors toward black. The program is a TSR rather than a loader because it appears there is more than one way to start the …
