Hey everyone!
I just can't play TIM2 using DOSBox. It starts, shows the loading clock and keep loading that way forever. After one minute or so, a fast screen change occurs, but after that the clock appears again.
DOSBox supports TIM2??
I really liked the Incredible Toon Machine Working nicely in the new version, I wish TIM2 could run that way too...
Tx!

Running the setup again didn't work... I also tried other copies of the game and nothing. Maybe it's not supported, or it needs some different configuration. Could someone please test it?? I think I can't put any links for the game here, but it's really easy to find...

Tim/Tim2 ever worked fine for me. So yes, as noted above install it correctly.

Why such a rude answer? Wierd...
Well, tx anyway for the coments, but I tried to reinstall and didn't get it to work. Maybe it's the copy of the game that I have, but the strange thing is that I already tried other copies... The first one I tried isn't original too, I think, but I had it archived for many years and it used to work...
And yes, I may be doing somehing wrong, that's why I'm asking for help...

Dunno, I have a lot TIM games, but apperantly not version 2.
Anyway be sure that sound setup is correct.

I checked that, I even tried to choose no sounds at all and the game didn't run...
Maybe some different configuration in DOSBox would help, but for that kind of game I thought the default would do the job, which is what I am using.
And all the other TIM games worked fine, only this one didn't...

Default dosbox.conf works. Post the contents of the RESOURCE.CFG.

Wait, you're saying that you don't own the original version?
In that case, you might be wasting your time trying to get it to work...
