Either glide runs or it doesn't. If you run tomb3dfx then glide is running. Did you really recompile dosbox with glide support or just copied the patches? Use my cvs to test glide...

Thank you so much! 😀 This setup works great!

However, Unfinished Business is not working 🙁 When I choose "New game" from the main menu, the game freezes. I still see the menu and the background music is playing. I tried to start the game about 10 times and surprisingly one time I was able to start the game.
So, what's the problem? I wanted to check the DOSBox log file but the log file is empty, DOSBox doesn't log anything. I have activated all logging options in the dosbox.conf file, so this is very strange!

Can you help me please? Thank you very much for your time!

it just lies with TRUB itself
I've been having this kind of crash too, all the time
TR1 is also affected, but in a minimal percentage

if you want you can try the setup I'd made here
http://www.tombraiderhub.com/faq/tr1.html#advancedsol
goto dosbox part of course
(btw the dgvoodoo one you also see there, later wrapped up by me here

for the sake of more windows-userfriendliness
unfortunately won't apply to x64)

well that alternative setup installs to a different folder and as such isn't incompatible with mintrasystem's thing,
but actually works along the same lines
read mintrasystem page for the details, but in short v1.2 of it builds on v1.0 plus my contribution so it's practically the same

in the end, funny as it is,
the only workaround to TRUB specific freeze issue...
boils simply down to this:
slow motion for keystrokes (Esc key for skipping fmv play, Right/Left Arrow & Enter keys for entering gameplay etc.)
let a few seconds pass on between each stroke as you make your way through (don't rush and work them all out in a split second) and TRUB ought to start in time most of the time
so does it for me, at least
HTH

Sorry for the late reply.

Ahh, thank you for clarification! I had a feeling, that the freezes have something to do with the keystrokes. Now I know it for sure, thanks!
Although the slow motion keystrokes workaround doesn't really work for me, I have the sureness, that the freezes are the fault of the game and not of my DOSBox config or my computer hardware.

Thank you very much for your help and time!
