Hi, i'm here to tell you that this game called Atlantis - The Lost Tales (It dates back from 1997) does not work with DosBox. It a 4 CD's adventure game and has a dos version on it. The first screens appear nicely and i press ESC to skip the developer screens, clicking on the mouse makes nothing, then i finally got the titles screen wich shows 'New Player' and that stuff. From there the keyboard makes nothing and the mouse pont is shown on the screeen, but i can't move it to anywhere. And please, this game does not have any resources.cfg of something like that. I need to turn an option on DosBox to make this game playable or what???

Ps: it's not compatilbe with DosBox??

Please help me!
Bye,
Epockrandt

Indeed the mouse isn't working with this game, making this game broken.

I tried every trick I know, even tried using ykhwong's build, unloading mouse and reloading a different mouse driver, but the driver still claimed another mouse driver was loaded...

Sorry epockrandt, but unless there is a patch for this game (checking now) this game is broken and not playable in DosBOX...

Grab this patch for the English version:
http://dlh.net/cgi-bin/dlp.cgi?lang=eng&sys=p … leng.zip&ref=ps

(or go to www.patches-scrolls.de and search for Atlantis for your version of the game)

This fixes the mouse 😀

Will test the game a bit to see if it doesn't crash...

Well, I do believe the game was meant for Win95 (it's from 1997 after all), and the bug probably affected only *some* users...
