Hello

When I try to run blood using DosBox 0.61, I get the following error:

Stub exec failed:
dos4gw.exe
No such file or directory

Could anybody help me sort this out? (I'm running WinXp Home SP1)

does DOS4GW.EXE exist in the directory with blood? If not, you can always get Dos/32A (Look under the Breakthrough with STTNG: A Final Unity) thread, and copy the DOS32A.EXE executable to DOS4GW.EXE, or find a copy of DOS4GW.EXE with another program (DOOM/DOOM2 come to mind as places to find a copy)

About Blood: it runs in DOSBOX (I usually test with the latest CVS, so it may be different in 0.61), but it requires a lot of power (on my 1 GHz computer it is not well playable even in the lowest resolution).

Unfortunately the "dynamic" core (the quickest one) does not work with Blood. Or to be more precise: it works, but after a few minutes of playing BLOOD with the dynamic core the whole DOSBOX crashes without any error message (regardless of whether DOS4GW or DOS32A extender is used).
So unfortunately the normal core must be used (this seems to work reliably).
