Hi there,

I've recently downloaded Populous 2 from the Underdgos - got it working fine in the default mode (i.e running pop2.exe with no parameters except /ss to specify soundblaster sound) -albeit quite fast.

But when I run it in Hires mode (pop2.exe /ss /h) I get a flickering mouse & the game actually stalls while I move the mouse.

I was wondering if anyone had the same problems and knew a way around this in hires mode.

I'm running v0.63 of Dosbox in Win2000 pro and have only appended this to the defaul config supplied with Dosbox in the [autoexec] part:

mount c populous2
c:
cd populo~1
pop2 /ss /h
exit

Thanks for any help you can give me,
Best,
James

Wicked!

Nice one DosFreak - the Ykhwong version runs it great in Hi-res mode!

Thanks again,
James
