OK, I started a game (for expample: Crusader or MK2 and NBA jam) but after the game starts (with all the menus and settings) when I finnaly click PLAY or START GAME - the screen goes black... And stays black...

What is the cause/soultion to this prob? Tnx in advance...

Maybe you are trying to use a wrong synched (or not supported) video mode with your monitor. Try to manually use a fullscreen resolution by editting dosbox.conf

fullfixed=true
fullresolution=800x600

Also, try using fullresolution=0x0
to use current desktop resolution.

Also mae your sure not using the smartupdate patch. Haven't tested it with those games but it may make them not work.

Hi Rainman82,

For me, NBA Jam also failed to start. However, changing DOS4GW to Dos32A makes the game run just fine! Did you read this http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/comp_list.php?s … er=N&search=nba ?
