I am trying to make this game work (QQP's WW2 Battles of the South Pacific, 1993) and have succeeded in making it run, but:
1. the color is all wrong (see attached file) when I run it through Defend or direct by using DOSBOX with the appropriate command.
When I start the program directly from its ww2.bat file in the map c:\dosbox\ww2 it starts perfectly and in the right color palette and even with sound, but isn't manageble because it runs way to fast and I cannot seem to slow it down.
2. When I play it through DOSBOX or via Defend it has the wrong color, but plays slow enough to work just fine.
The configfile is:

Anyone having any suggestions how to get the right colors?
Thanks,
