Just wanted to let you know that RIPPER works great with DosBox 0.61 - however, i needed to add the VESA switch to RIPPER.EXE to get it run (see readme.txt in the latest RIPPER patch, where all switches are mentioned - i played around with it a little until i got the best results). Then however, it played without any problems. So another fine dos game playable in a windows window... 😀
It is also playable using dynamic core. The speed is AMAZING!!!
Viva la Revolucion

For starters, DOSBox 0.61 is outdated by now.
Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
Sorry, I tried it with the newest ver 63. (sorry for the lack of details!)
I don't understand how these guys (and the guy on the dosbox website) claim to have gotten this to work if you can't even run the installer...Anyone?

I had the same problem with the installation program on my XP system. I was able to get around the installation hangup by running the installation program in XP, and choosing the settings that I knew I would be using in .63, or any settings, to just get the thing installed. Then to finalize the settings, I ran the setup program in the game directory from .63, using the /v3 command line switch that becomes available after patching with the 1.5 patch. The game sets up and runs fine at that point.
I like to run these games off the hard drive, which creates a problem with this game, since it checks for the CD volume labels. I was able to mount hard drive directories and assign them labels (and modify the take2.ini file), but the maximum amount that can be recognized is 4. I can mount the other two, with the MSDEX errors, but the setup program only recognizes the first four. Does anybody know how to "fool" a label checking routine? I've messed with the .ini files for the game, but haven't hit upon a magic combination.
So far my only workaround is to create two conf files, one for CD's 1-4 and the other for CD's 1-2;5-6, each with it's own shortcut from Windows. This is obviously a drag, as it requires shutting down the game and restarting it from the other icon. But for me it's not much worse than tracking down CD's and swapping them.
