Hi guys,

I'm a bit ashamed of having to post this, but so far all other games I tried with dosbox (0.63) worked out-of-the-box. I've read that other people got this game to work; I followed their instructions, also disabled sound in the game, in dosbox, tried the different cores, reduced the CPU cycles, and none of these worked. The game seems to be properly installed on disk, according to other posts in this forum and also by having read the install.bat and doing the procedure by hand (the installer fails on dosbox, there are other posts on that topic with more information).

All I get is a blank screen. No music, no sound, no mouse cursor, no sprites, no nothing. CPU usage is high, about 30%, which is what I get for other VGA games with dosbox, so there is something going on. I even waited 5' to see if loading was taking long for some reason, but nothing happened.

I'm on Linux 2.6.12 on an AMD64, using ALSA sound. Glibc is 2.3.2.

I even got Police Quest I original from the same collection to work. Well, "got" is relative, as it worked out of the box.

Any ideas?
