Hello all,
Is there any way to run Wizardry Gold ie Crusades of the Dark Savant (Enhanced) under Dosbox? I've seen a HX Dos Extender. Does this work under dosbox? Can you run windows games? Is there a list of compatible games? A quick install guide?

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Yes. It's a Win16 game (note the 16, this is important), so run it in Windows 3.1 (note the 3.1, this is important) in DOSBox.

I think I may have gotten it running in Windows 3.11 inside of DOSBox at one point, but I think it may have had problems. Honestly the DOS version of Wiz7 is better and less buggy from what I've seen first-hand and heard second-hand...

I keep meaning to beat Wiz7 with my Wiz6 party and then transfer them on to Wiz8. I've beaten Wiz6 twice and Wiz8 once, but never managed to beat Wiz7.

Thanks for the responses. So do I need to do a full Windows 3.1 inside Dosbox or can I use HX dos extenders?
