TTDX (Transport tyconn deluxe) in dosbox works fine but has anyone tried 2 player mode?

Me and a friend tried whit both IPX and serial and only IPX mode reported that the connection was established but the game more or less freezed.

Any suggestions.

Have tried to play it without DosBox whit XP patch , that works a bit better but will desync when starting a game, a known XP problem I've read.

But the DosBox freeze, any suggestions at all would be good.

Please avoid using acronyms. They can be confusing.

What is TTDX?

I'm thinking we should start an acronym thread somewhere on VOGONS to use as a reference for identifying game names from acronyms, since people refuse to realize that I'm not psychic!

Oh sorry about the TTDX acronym, and yes I mean Transport Tycoon deluxe.

Thanks for the advice for the cvs news, what ever that means. I will check it up.

Must learn what what cvs means and does and so on first.

Okay unofficial builds. This should be interesting, if it will fix the freeze then it's game on everybody.

This is the thread to go to for CVS info: DOSBox SVN Builds

(just in case you didn't find it yet)

Have tested some cvs builds but the changes in them are mostly in graphics like ogenGL or D3D support, I could not find any cvs build whit a newer or modified IPX support to try out.

The cvs builds I tested all ended up like the original one. The link is created but the program "freezes". It doesn't totally freeze, it just takes about 20 seconds to go forward 1 frame, whick means everything is going reeeally slow. A game can be started but thats all, would take 10 minutes to just write your name and build a HQ :p

Tried to find a newer TTDpatch to see if that would work out the XP desync when running TTdeluxe without dosbox, but the patch that I've got from the beginning was the newest one. So no advances there either.

Also, I presume that this is purely for the sake of getting it to work and that OpenTTD is not an option?

It does work - your CVS build must be recent enough.
