I just got dosbox installed on my 2006 macbook pro (intel chip) and got red alert 1 installed through dosbox
the problem I am having, is the field of the gamescreen is significantly less than it should be (by about 2-3 times). Does anyone know how I would fix this?
The dos and windows version use different resolutions. I believe it to be 320x200 for dos and 640x480 for Windows.
Ostensibly some people claim that they can change the resolution in the REDALERT.INI and get the resolution to change for the dos version.
I tried doing it with my version of Red Alert from the First Decade release, but I experienced some trouble with it not recognizing the dvd, so I can neither confirm or deny that it works. (Personally I suspect it doesn't, as I doubt that the dos version reads the .ini file.)
But if you want to try I've included it for you, if you want to give it a try.
Since the DOS version has no VESA driver, I seriously doubt that there's a VESA version for DOS. Also, the Windows version is slightly different - I believe they're two very separate versions of the game that share many of the same files. The Windows install folder contains plenty of files the DOS version doesn't so I think that VESA is Windows only I'm afraid.
How can I play Red Alert in internet with other people?
For the DOS version use DOSBox.
For First Decade go here: http://www.commandandconquer.com/portal/site/ … 000100d2c0aRCRD
Don't know about non-decade Red Alert or even if there's a difference between it and First Decade.
Also, don't hijack threads.
