Hi,

I can play the Game, but without Sound, cause of the deactivated XMS Support in my Config. If reactivate the XMS Support the Game starts but i cant check the Copyprotection Code. Any Idea?

Some additional Informations:

I tried SVN Daum Version, DOSBox 073,072 and 074.

If the XMS is deactivated, i can enter the copy-protection code, hit enter and play the game - but without sound.

If I activate the XMS i can also start the Game and i can enter the copy-protection code but i cant play the game cause there comes no reaction if i hit the enter key.

I ran into same issue and the root cause was the system having too much RAM, so setting Dosbox to map only 16mb may help.More information may be found here:
