I load Dosbox with -machine Tandy -fullscreen (or w/o the -fullscreen), the screen doesn't refresh and display the game, it stays on the Dos screen with the Dosbox console and asks if I wanna use a joystick. It superimposes that text on the screen in dos. The game starts, the sound plays, but the screen doesn't show the game. I can even fire the weapon, pause, and quit. So, the only problem is my PC won't switch it's display to show the game, once it gets past the screen asking wether I wanna use a joystick or not. I've tried it with and without the console switch, with and without the fullscreen switch, nothing works. I am determined to play Thexder in Tandy mode so I can hear some decent sound, like when I was a kid. It works fine in EGA mode (of course, with awful PC speaker monotone). If anyone can tell me what needs to be done, please help. I haven't tried it on my wife's laptop, which is running XP, because I want to use my PC.
