http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?190794-DO … -huh&p=13729399

I'm using dosbox 0.74 and the game freezes whenever i go to battle - never even seen a battle screen.... I hope someone can reccomend a change i can make in my dosbox config file to resolve this. I have cycles set at max - this hasn't caused a problem with any other games - mem at 63 (the max allowed). The rest of it I havn't messed with so default values every where else - well mouse sensitivitys backed down, but that shouldn't be an issue.... HELP, please and Thank YOU.

The game does indeed hang before entering its combat screen with memsize=63, but works fine with memsize=31 (recommended as maximum by a warning in the console window) or with default memsize=16 (recommended to be left alone in the conf file). The "more memory must be better" mindset leading to trouble once again... but you'd think they'd at least try the obvious step of reverting to the default memsize.

I've stopped thinking that long time ago...

the memsize was the first thing I thought that could be wrong 😀
Especially since the poster really pushes one to ask for resetting that to the default 😀
