I found one of my old dos game called US Navy Fighters. I was able to mount CD drive and run the install program. When I try to load the game, it takes me to the video and sound configuration. I select video mode and sound card settings.

The program then exits with error msg. It says that my video card is not supported of may not have enough memory. I checked the game compatibility on this site and it says it is supported. How do I get the game to run? I figure there is a setting the conf file.

I have tried 640X480, 800x600, 1024x768. Also, any idea where I might find the manual for the game? Thanks. I hope you continue supporting and updating this project. I would have had to kiss a lot of games and applications goodbye a long time ago, if not for DosBox. Thanks again.

In your config file, what's the machine= set to?

svga_s3 works for me

also check your box for the manual, but if you have the EA CLASSICS release or a budget one or so (some 1995 releases, though USNF'97 superceded it in that year), there could probably be a pdf on that disc.

Thanks...That setting fixed it. For some reason it was set to vgaonly. Now all I need is to find the manual. I don't have the manual or box. I just have the CD.
