I 've downloaded Gods game..I try to run it with dosbox, using the D-Fend frontend... 😀

it runs and then gets stuck to the dos window..I don't see any graphics or something...

I use DOSBox the recent one, downloaded it today..

I use 16 mb of memory, cpu cycles 10000,with normal core, and vga videocard...

I'd be grateful if someone posted me directions to run it properly..

I run Windows XP SP2.... 😁

I made some modifications to Gods code a long time ago (enable to use SB sound from floppy, etc). It works nicely for me using DOSBox 0.70 - What did you exactly do?

You don't need to modify it to run it from hard disk. My modification was for enabling SB sound when running directly from floppy.

On the other hand, I think this game also came with some kind of disk copy protection. I am not sure. It was a long time ago. Any cracked version should work okay under DOSBox, though. Getting cracked versions is illegal by the way. You won't get any help here.

Anyway, post here all exact commands you used for running Gods. Maybe you missed something. Did you run install.exe to configure it first?

Then your copy must be börked. That's the problem with abandonware. You are never sure if your copy is okay/missing some files etc.

No. If you don't own the game, bad luck, you surely won't get help here.
