DOSBox version? 0.72?

It needs 640x480x256. It has also a 800x600 windows version.

Also, the demo works in DOSBox 0.71 without any changes.

Edited by MiniMax: No need to throw insults around ADDiCT

sorry, I'm using 0.72.

I've set the following variables in dosbox.conf:

1[sdl]
2fullresolution=640x480
3windowresolution=640x480

and

1[dosbox]
2machine=vga

Still, I get the same error. I'm trying to start the 1995 release of the game, the one that has sound drivers included.

The fullresolution=640x480 is probably wrong. It should be set to resolution you normally use for your desktop, something like 1280x1024 or higher. But I doubt that is the cause of your problem.

Do you have any info on what kind of graphics the game requires? The next release of DOSBox will have support for SVGA, but until that is officially released you will have a hard time finding the Mac-version of it (unless you can compile it yourself).

I've got Strip Poker 3 and it works fine with DOSBox defaults. I know it's not the same version - but just throwing it out there.

It was a funky game on some real DOS computers. I believe it didn't work with my Matrox G400 at all.

As far as I remember the correct resolution for 'Artworx Strip Poker Professional' is 512x384. I used to play it on my old 486 DX4. I tried to run it under DOSBox and VirtualPC some time ago but no luck.

Different univbe version might handle it, also keep an eye on univbe options
(lowres video modes) and check availability with vbetest or similar.

Mh, I forgot to add that one to my build...

I use your build!. 😢

Pretty please?

You can use s3vbe20 to get 512x384.

sdd53a reports 512x384 and tests it (using vbetest.exe) just fine. i'm gonna try s3vbe20.

le: same result... small flicker with weird text mode characters then "mode not suported".

This game works without any difficulties (DOSBOX 0.72) on two different laptop PC's, one running Vista with Nvidia graphics and the other XP Home with ATI Radeon. Since the game's resolution is 640x480x256, the default DOSBOX settings give a stretched picture in fullscreen mode. This can be fixed by setting fullscreen res to whatever your monitor's actually is (e.g. 1280x800 or whatever), and selecting the Keep Original Aspect ratio option. I'm using D-Fend Reloaded to set these so I forget what the actual DOSBOX config settings are. This is an example of DOSBOX at its technical best, as the digital sound in this game was iffy on many old DOS pc's.

I did have an old laptop that would not run it at all - Silicon Motion Lynx graphics. This was back in the days of Win98. I don't think even DOSBOX would work on that one.

Um right, maybe the "mode not supported" message is just from his monitor
and he doesn't recognize that.

the message is not from the display, i have an 19 lcd. i'll try using d-fend reloaded?

might this issue be realted to the fact that i have xp x64?

i would also point out that I'm talking about "strip poker professional".

the even older version of "strip poker III" works OK.

If i remember correctly, professional uses some fancy video mode larger than 640x480.

When I downloaded the demo, the page said that there were Windows versions with 800x600 resolutions.

I downloaded the demo of Strip Poker Professional and it works perfectly. Where did you get the game? Is it an original ?

so, it seems it was something broken in the game I had. I managed to get a hold of another pack and it works! Thank you for your time and sorry for this one being just a false alarm.
