Could someone with a real hardware DOS system install and play the DOS game Scorcher for me? I am trying to find out if the game Scorcher has a glitch in the game or it's DOSBox that is the issue. Basically run the first track and try to get into any of the high score lists and see if your high score stays in the list. When I am running it under DOSBox every time I get a high score and enter my initials it does not show up in the high score list under the options menu. The game creates a file called hiscores.bin that records the new scores and I can see the file is actually recording the new scores, but the list in the game's menu never shows them and is somehow pulling from a built-in default score list. Just want to see if somehow the game running under DOSBox is screwing up how it reads that hiscores.bin file. Thanks a bunch if you have time.

It had an alternate Windows 95 launcher, but it was a DOS game.

Nevermind. Apparently the high scores not recording in this game was a bug in the actual game and not an emulation thing from what I have read.
