Hi, everyone!
I installed The Dame was Loaded from within DOSBox and then set up my sound (and I heard sound during the sound test--the game seemed to like either Gravis Ultrasound or SB--I chose Soundblaster with the default DOSBox sound settings--this after having downloaded the sound patch for the game).
So, all seemed well, and that went without incident.
When I go to run the game, though, all I get is a hang and a black screen.
I tried running the game through D-Fend and when the game tried to start up, I get the following error message:
Fatal error; can't spawn wintest code =1.
I have no idea what this means. Any help out there? It may be that I need to change some settings in DOSBox, but I have no idea what. I'm running the default configuration, although I did change core to dynamic in DOSBox; that made no difference and i still got the black screen and the hang.
Thank you for your time.

As a followup to this--I just tried the following, which is a comment for Dame was Loaded under the list of supported DOSBox games: "If the keyboard does not work and it is impossible to save/load and skip audio/video, this should help (tested with 0.61 official version): Delete or rename wintest.exe from the game directory and copy mem.exe there (where to find it: XP - C:\WINDOWS\system32; Win 98 - c:/windows/command), rename mem.exe to wintest.exe and run the game."
The above isn't the problem I'm having, as all I get is a black screen, but since my error message is about wintest I figured I'd give it a shot. No dice---I did the above, and I still get the same error message. At least I now know that wintest is located in the Dame folder. Not that this helps. But perhaps someone else will have an idea. 😀
