Now that DCK is opensource, the final registered release was released with it and can be found here. https://github.com/benpetermorris/DCK/blob/ma … -R.EXE?raw=true

the source code is also located at https://github.com/benpetermorris/DCK. I was thinking about porting it to linux, but i figured I would play with it in dos box first, but it seems to trigger some bug in dosbox. Also, the first link is an installer EXE file, and the only graphics mode that kind of works is vesa, but once the screen comes up it is covered in hexadecimal strings written over the window.

Have you tested this application on real hardware, or at least in something like PCem?

The program is working for me with default settings in DOSBox 0.74-3 and SVN. It starts up and appears to function correctly; however, I am using Windows builds.

Perhaps the video options for Tseng 3000, 4000, and Paradise will work if DOSBox is set to the matching machine type, but the VESA option with the machine=svga_s3 setting is probably the best choice.

Not in a very long time, and I never had the unlocked registered version, but I did have the final shareware version, which was essentually the same, with some of the options removed.

The installer worked fine, it was the actual app, once you give it game data that crashed. I can probably get a screen shot if it helps, if I can get it to not crash on load.
I have also tried multiple ums/xms options as well, but all the defaults were about right to begin with, since if I changed them it failed to start at all.

Never Mind, after updating to the latest svn version of dosbox, it now works, weird it didnt with the other distro considered stable version.
