Hello. I have a Telefunken 22-inch TV with my XP old computer plugged to it. I have noticed while playing NFS these things:
1. Weird stuck in the corner, inverted colors, no sound

Normally i don't mind if the game has no sound while in reality it has sound (only if it's a DOS game, because i use no emulator) but this one is pretty strange. I have seen no game to do this. In the opening cutscene there is music, while the rest of the game is mute (even though it runs with music and sound on DOS). Also notice the screenshot. I think it's due to the 1360x768 display resolution (if not, then what?) which computers at the time did not reach such a resolution (640x400 or so). I'm really, really confused why the colors are inverted and the image is STUCK in the corner.
At least but not at last, crashing
Now, this is a WTF?!?!?!?!? Yeah this is what happens when i click on a car to reveal the car information. A error pops up. There were also no cutscenes (even they exist in the real game, in this first Abandonia download there were no cutscene files. I downloaded it then from another site and still same.) but it wasn't a real problem at all.

Help me to run the game properly, since DOSBox 0.74 crashes always when i try to run any single game

Actually i did downloaded Abandonia for the first try, but it did not worked. This download was the second one, which was a freeware.

There is no "freeware" NFS.

I also believe you are fabricating "bugs" for attention. Considering your last two lame threads you're probably in that young 'postcount is important' mindset

also yea wtf!!!

Thread locked. You seem to be trolling our forum. Please stop.

Inverting screenshots from Mobygames and posting as your own screenshots make you very suspicious...
