Hi

My friend and I tried play this game about few years ago with Dosbox 0.74 and Hamachi, but the game randomly freezes, mostly during the battle. Both of us cannot do nothing about it and we have to close dosbox. We could't finish any battle, if I remember correctly and we used Hamachi, because we could't connect with computer's IP address. We tried both ways.

I think I only changed that IPX=true in dosbox0.74.conf and we used those https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Connectivity commands, but with Hamachi IP.

The games were updated to v1.13, I think.

Has anyone played this succesfully? Tips?

I just googled about port forwarding stuff. From what I understand it is impossible to do with mobile broadband. I have 3G Huawei E353. Friend has fiber optic broadband provided by householder, so I think he cannot do that forwarding.

Is there any other solution? Does Kali, Tungle work with Dosbox? Or just try latest Hamachi & hope for the best...

By the way, I have win7 x64 & he has win8.1 x64.

EDIT: What about YANG (yet another netplay guider)?
