Hi!
Years ago I loved to play Tony and Friends (the Kelloggs game).
But now my problem:
I installed it and then wanted to start it.
But now there is a problem. The game starts and I also have sound. But it doesn't work right.
I don't really know how to describe but I will try it 😉
The game only runs when I click the window and then at realising the mouse button the game goes on for 1 second. But then it stands again. Then I click with the mouse and it goes for 1 sec etc.
So it is unplayable.
Unfortunately I don't know so much about DosBox so I think you can better help me 😀

I tried to play another game and this worked fine. So it has to be the game...

Thanks for your answers 😉

Regards

Hi!
Thanks for your answer.
Yes I am using DosBox 0.72 (the latest I think). Should I try it with an earlier version?
timed is also set to true in the config file.
So someone else an idea?

Perhaps this helps I don't know because I am a DosBox newbie. My System:
WinXP Prof
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6300 (overclocked)
RAM: 2GB
Graphic: ATI 4870
And an ASUS Mainboard.

Perhaps something doesn't work with the hardware and DosBox?

Or does anyone of you have a link from the game?
I only found 1 and perhaps this is the problem. (?)

Thanks you are great.
It works now when I did cycles to 10000. It was auto before.
So now ít only laggs sometimes or the screen is black at the beginning or the water has the same color like the sky.
I read someone used demovga and this worked well for him.
Can someone say me what demovga is?
I searched at google and here in this forum but I only found a thread were the downloadlink is down...
