Been trying to get MechWarrior 1 working in DosBox. It crashes after any mech combat sequence.

I have tried running MechWarrior 1 in XP, and it works (way too fast, but it doesn't crash).

Any ideas?

Imagine a world where we can play all DOS games. Wouldn't it be nice?

I had a crazy idea of trying to play mechwarrior in an older version of DosBox, and guess what? It works.

DosBox 0.62 is no longer compatable with mechwarrior 1. Any ideas why?

Hi,
Found the problem 😉
You just edit the following line in dosbox.conf
"intelligent=false"

That'd do it....

There's no need to revive a thread where the last post is over two years old (!), especially since there's an active thread where the problem (if it is one) is currently in discussion.
