Will do. :) Those SB settings you mentioned caused a freeze/lockup in 0.65, but I'll try them again with 0.70. And I will keep the midi settings in mind. By the way, I also got the same freeze/lockup when I chose no sound at all, so I was thinking along the lines you mentioned. I've got about eight …

Hello everyone, First off, has anyone tested Noctropolis with DOSBox 0.70? Is it supported? I tried installing Noctropolis tonight in 0.65. I had conflicting reports in my research here on this game; one person said it wasn't supported; another person said the reverse, that the game DOES install and …

I'll go ahead and install the newest version of DOSBox. Before I do, I found this bit of information through a Yahoo search about The Dame Was Loaded (from a game review). This will help identify the problem, I believe: "One newsgroup poster pointed out that Dame was running a program called wintest …

Hi, everyone!

If you're new to DOSBox, my suggestion to you is that you download a front end like D-Fend, which can be found here: http://members.home.nl/mabus/ And then read through the DOSBox FAQ on the DOSBox website. You can set up a profile for Silverload in D-Fend and basically all you will have to do is …

Hi, Thanks again for trying to help. I WAS able to get the installer running in DOXBox, but when the installer got to the part where it asked me for my CD-ROM drive letter, and I designated it as "E" (the letter of my CD-ROM drive), it told me "access is denied." Really, I think the problem here is …
