Hello Vogons community,
You cannot think how long I searched for such community. I'm very happy finding you!
I have the game "Star Rangers", but I simply cannot run it. I tried the VDMSound, but it asks for the CD. I enabled the MSCdex, then the problem is gone. But when I enter in the game, I got those messages about DOS4GW and so on and suddenly the game exits. There is some way to make this great game work?
Please post all of the exact, entire error messages you see.
Thank you HunterZ,
I keep fighting with SR, and made it run with DOSBox, thanks. But the performance, is not so good. The joystick is a bit delayed, when you press the fire, you have a delay till the ship fires. And when the FX (like explosions) is more heavy, the performance slows down. And the sound is terrible.
My machine is a Pentium4 2.4 GHz, Win XP, 256 RAM DDR and Video Card is a GeForce 2 MX 400. Any idea?

Thank you Mini Max,
Really a very detailed instructions sheet. I'll try to make a tunning on my DOSBox, and post here the results. Thanks again!
Hello MiniMax,
The game crashed, I installed DOS32A and ran. I made the tunings, gained performance, but is sound is stuttering (a bit) and the joystick response is not perfec (but playable). The way I have the game now I can enjoy it. But another problem happened now. The mouse is failing. In my screen appears two mouse arrows, one from the game and another different one. I can use this different, and the game mouse doesn't move, but clicks. Someone knows this problem?
Congratulations for all DOSBox development team.Is really incredible work!
Moderators: This thread should probably now be moved to DOSBox General.
auradrummer: Does hitting Ctrl+F10 help?
