Specifically, the graphics are corrupted - there is horrible colour fringing, a "smearing" effect, instead of a crisp B&W display.

Yeps I fixed it recently
if you get yourself a cvs from where ever you want. (see the cvs compile topic) and you can play it again.
Thank you for informing us though

Qbix, is this different from the corruption in mychess? (see broken programs forum) I think it's still broken in the current CVS.

that is different

I wouldn't have moved it here, since it's already fixed in the CVS. It's better for people who aren't beta testers to be able to know it will be fixed in the next release.

Your wish is my command... 🤣

No, it's *not* fixed in the latest CVS (11 Dec 2005), it's a bit different but still doesn't work.

well it's broken again 😀

Hi guys,

Looks fine to me, what's the problem?!

Regards,

Same here. Maybe it is broken with some particular settings.
Minuous: Can you post your dosbox.conf?

it is broken in the 11 build. and it has been fixed allready agin.

I wonder how many games have been fixed....then broken....then fixed again?

Qbix, do you have a list of these games? If this happens fairly often then it's likely to happen again in the future.....so it would be nice to have a list......

I've been meaning to expand my DosBox Compatibility List with CVS versions about 6 months apart but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

The CVS build available is still the 11 Dec 05 one. So presumably I need to wait a few days for a newer CVS build to appear...

My Dosbox.conf is totally standard, except machine=cga, and a few autoexec lines to mount the HD.

Dos_freak. Well there was this issue with the scanslines in cga mode.
This was recently introduced by the pcjr support.
As It was reported by sirgraham quite fast, it was fixed quite fast as well.
That small bug broke most if not all cga games. Including this one.

Actually, I don't see much breaking around. I continuously check my collection against latest CVS with patches, and it's been ages since something that worked once broke again.

The only thing that was broken was mode6 for cga machines.

Ah, Spacewar, the game that my brother and I were playing furiously against each other on the 286 when our EGA monitor overheated and blew out due to having the Epson MX-80 printer sitting on top of it (oops).

Good to know it's working (again?) - I'll have to grab a copy and play it again for the first time in around 17 years 😀

Well you'll have to wait a bit longer, because it still isn't emulated correctly.

Waiting for the CVS build to be updated, then maybe it will work...

As already stated by rcblanke and vasyl, it works again for some
time now, dunno what build you're using or waiting for.
