I got the game running on dosbox (0.72) and i was able to play the first level fine. But after that, the game closes itself out and brings me back to the promt. I saved the game before this happened, and when i go to restore the game, it closes out and goes to promt as well.

If I run the game without using dosbox, none of that happens, but i have no sound. Nothing i saw in the readme addressed this. Suggestion?

ok i just did the loadfix thing and the same thing happened.

Now with the cores and stuff
" Examples:
1. To create a configfile in your current directory:
config -writeconf dosbox.conf
2. To set the cpu cycles to 10000:
config -set "cpu cycles=10000"
3. To turn ems memory emulation off:
config -set "dos ems=off"
4. To check which cpu core is being used.
config -get "cpu core""

is that the thing i use? cause if it is, it didnt work either.

Edit dosbox.conf (which is inside your DOSBox folder) using a text edittor such as Notepad. Then change the line core=xxxx to one of the cores (normal, full, simple, dynamic). I would try normal and full first.

To use loadfix, just type in "loadfix" (without quotes) at DOSbox Z:\> prompt.

E.g.

Z:\>mount c d:\dosgames
Z:\>mount d h:\ -t cdrom
Z:\>c:
C:\>loadfix
C:\> cd mydir
C:\mydir\>run.exe

No, you can even specifiy different config files for a particular game. Search the forum.

If I am not mistaken, you must invoke DOSBox executable with a -config <config file> command-line parameter. You don't even need to recreate the whole config file. Just add the headers and lines affected. For instance in order to run with full core.

myconfig.cfg

[cpu]
core=full

Then, you would invoke DOSBox with dosbox -config myconfig.cfg

Search the forum to be sure.
