I have problems with the game "Christoph Kolumbus".
In the first try it didn't work, the installer said "Problems with Autoexec.bat" - because there was no such file in the main directory. I copied the files from Doxbox' Z folder to my mounted C drive, mounted the CD content (which was copied to a folder on my hard disk) as -t cdrom and additionally I added a path to the autoexec file which the installer wasn't able to add for unknown reasons.
Now ingame I have the following problem: The ingame font seems to be broken. It looks like this:
I already tried the suggestions in the newbie guide. I deactivated ems+xms, ems or xms, both. I played around with hwscale, output, priority etc. in the config file, but the font just looked more washed-out.
VGA is the only mode which is supported by the game (it's from 1996 IIRC).
I tried a bigger Memory size (16 to 32) but no change.
Now the strange thing: When I switch to fullscreen, the font is still mixed. But when I then switch back to window mode the font appears as it's supposed to be, but only for a milisecond. (the font is "highlighted" in white color then).
I tried to take a screenshot from this but wasn't able to.
Anyone who can help me? Oh, the list:
