Running Windows XP Home edition, DOSBox 0.61.
When I try to run X-COM: Terror from the Deep(terror.com), I get a black screen with a triangle pointer in truly awful colours at one side of the screen; after a few seconds, the console shows the message "Exit to error: Unhandled CPU opcode", and after a few seconds more, DOSBox disappears entirely.
Apocalypse is another matter. I'm not clear on how to use the -size parameter of mount(more detail in the readme would be helpful), and when I try to fiddle with it, I can't convince Apoc to notice that C: is there to install to. If I leave it at default, it only allows 105MB free, and Apoc requires 200 for optimal install.
Whether I install from within Windows(can't set up the sound card thus), or use the smaller install(s), when I actually try to run Apoc, I get the opening cutscene, but then it bombs right back to the DOSBox command line. No messages, no errors, nothing.
Any suggestions?
