Hi! I'm new into game emulation, and I'm having some trouble with Pinball Illusions. The game loads full screen, shows the main menu, but instead of one pinball table, there are 4 side by side. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!

No, I get the menu with the different tables, and I choose one of them. Then appears the "Loading" screen, but instead of showing the table, there are kind of four small tables top and bottom the screen.

It's like the game screen repeated in a small size, in fact, if I press ESC, I can see a very little text below every "table" saying "Want to quit?".

Sorry, I had not posted my system specs:

MSI 845E
P4 2400
256Mb DDR
Nvidia Mx 420 64Mb
Integrated AC97 audio
WXP Home SP1
DOSBox 0.63

Also forgot to say that the sound goes right, and I set the game resolution at 640x480 SVGA.

Thanks!

What if you set it to a smaller resolution such as 320x200 or 320x240?

good.
I read in the gamehost thingie of underdogs that it worked in 0.61
so maybe that version support higher modes better.

Just tried, 640 mode doesn't work in 0.61 either.
For 360x350 mode, it seem it was coded on a specific video card
which doesn't set to double width mode as is the case when you run it in dosbox (or any other real card I tried) As a result, the ball is streched in dosbox.
(similar problem in pinball fantasies)
With a hack to set this mode to single width it's looking good.
