I want to play majak in DOSBox. The game does not work at all.
Tried loadfix, switched ems/xms/umb, but they didn't help.

Tested with DOSBox 0.70/CVS, Currently using Vista.

Problem:
As soon as I ran the game, it crashed and an error message appeared and disappeared quickly.

I remember that I ran the game under DOS with the help of VMWare.
Thanks.

Nope, it is possible to run majak.exe in vmware. (screenshot)
With i740 vga (8mb ram), madgyver.exe should work.

hehe i740. I still have my Real3D AGP somewhere around...

Did you guys know it was used for Arcade games too, just like 3Dfx, NV3x, 4x and 7800GT. I don't think that ATI's Radeon ever was used that way.
