Has anyone tested this game in DOSBox 0.7 to confirm it still works? After some success and, moreover, acceptable performance with Privateer and Strike Commander, I thought I'd finally give Wings of Glory a try, but it crashes on me with "error #fffd" after the "ORIGIN" screen. I have EMS turned off as suggested in the game database, though whether it's on or off seems to make no difference in this case.

Is the sound set correctly?

1+1=10

Yes. Also, the first thing I tried was to run it without sound; the result was the same.

Yes, it still works. You must put core=normal and ems=false.

Ah! I hadn't expected the dynamic core to be the culprit; thanks! 😀
