Hello,

I am modding an old vga game that uses a 16-bit planar graphics mode, and to increase video memory, I set machine=svga_paradise in dosbox.conf, and then memory map select = 00b (A000-BFFF) in the Misc Graphics Register so that I could use the full 128Kb addressing space. This works fine.

However, when I start dosbox with machine=svga_s3 in dosbox.conf, then set machine=svga_paradise at the prompt, the game looks as if I had not set machine=svga_paradise, which is not what I had expected. But, shouldn't it be the same whether I set machine in the config file or at the prompt?

This is dosbox v 0.73, winXP

Thanks for any help.
