Hi, I'm trying to play Extreme Pinball in DosBox. (tried 0.59, 0.60 and current CVS code) under Linux, with normal, full and dynamic CPU cores, and in all cases the game works just fine... until I press a key, at which point, it crashes (back to the DOS command prompt, which will still accept commands, but nothing is readable)
Has anyone else encountered this, or found a way to stop it from happening?
No, I have the same probleme ...
just wait another version of Dos Box ...
I don't try with WDM Sound ... did you try ?
Sorry for my poor english ! 😉 But, try to speak french like I'm speak english ! 😀 It's not easy !
I really can't test wdmsound-- I don't have windows available. Extreme pinball *does* run under dosemu (Linux's other popular dos emulator), but the video display doesn't work well at all. (I suspect dosemu has issues with Mode X)
Thanks for the reply though
EDIT: I also tried the DOS32/A dos extender mentioned in another thread on this forum-- it exhibited the exact same behavior as the included dos/4gw extender, so I don't think that's the culprit either.
I'm running it on DosBox 0.61 and it works perfectly. OK, maybe not perfectly, it has some speed issues and graphic glitches, but it's fully playable.
Which version of Extreme Pinball do you have? (I'm not sure if there was more than one, but I'm working with v1.0 retail CD)
Also, could I take a look at your dosbox.conf?
Note: just tried with a demo version of EP downloaded from the 'net, with the exact same results.
I am having the same trouble. Plays fine until I press a key. I am using DOSBox 0.62 and I also use D-Fend too. I have tried every setting. My Specs:
