I've been trying to run old win95/98 game for years via my android tablet and dosbox + win95 app. So far I've made a lot of progress and game runs almost properly. The only problem is color issue. Every time I start the game, screen palette turns green/purple/red automatically and there is nothing I can do adjusting color in Windows screen properties. I suppose it's a problem relating S3 trio64V+ video card. Somehow it's switching color mode to True color (32 bits) automatically when I start the game. I don't know why and how.

I've tried to run the game on my laptop via Virtualbox + Windows Xp (which has another video card) and no problem at all.

P.s. The game is Blackstone Chronicles.

Thanks cap!

But I want to know how to solve the problem. Maybe I need another card drivers or dosbox settings...
