Hi!

If I try to install "Die Fugger 2" with DosBox with 32768 colours on my Win-XP system, it sais that I lack 8mb main memory (memsize is set to 32) or a standard-vesa driver. It seems that the vesa driver is missing. I thought DosBox emulates that and does not need a driver?
If I try to install it using 256 colours, everything works. I tried downloading different versions of univbe, but I could install none of them. I have an ATI-Radeon-Graphics-Card.

Thank You,
Mergeth.

dosbox only emulates the 256 color modes

the 8 mb they are talking about is videomemory

Have you tried running it using VDMSound or even natively?

Starting the Program without any loader or with VDMSound is the same at the moment. However, I have not tried to change any VDMS-Options.

If I start the installer, I get the first Screen, but I can't move the cursor.
If I start the program installed with dosbox, there is just a fullscreen dos-box which is black and a cpu-usage of 100%, but the intro does not show up.

Did you try some VESA problems "workaround" tools like VBEPlus or NOLFB? If you are not sure about what they are do a forum search.

Hi,

now 6 years later, it's possible to run Fugger 2 with DOSBox and 32768 colors?

I get no error message, but the screen has a green touch:

256 Color mode (OK):

Yes! You have right! 😳

I have tested it with Wine (The Emulation of an Emulation 😁 ) and it works: http://www.lebostein.de/temp/Fugger_32768_wine.png

Is this a Mac bug or can I bypass it someway?
