Thanks! Here is the save directory:

For me the game seems to last in high-res mode for 10-15 minutes if you stay in the same level. Playing too long for me may yield crashes during loading of subsequent levels. However, in probably the entire first half of the game I got little to no crashes. My guess is because the levels are shorter …

My guess would be that the Pentium logo would show right before or after the Bullfrog logo when you first load up the game. MC 1 and 2 play fine on DOSBox. I know, I've played them both almost to completion. I play MC2 exclusively in SVGA and have seen not a single crash. I use YHKWONG's CVS - …

Interesting. You're right. I guess it must have been an isolated incident when I got it to crash in lo-res mode, since now I'm able to play indefinitely without a crash as long as I stay in lo-res mode. Even using the regular .70 build of DosBox I haven't gotten a crash in lo-res mode. And yes, I …

I would recommend trying the dos32a extension and using that. Using it will be much easier if you're playing the game from a hard disc drive. I used it to run Magic Carpet on my old AMD 1600 mhz computer. It ran well with no crashes in lo-rez mode. This is where you can download the extension (I …

So... I have tried most of this stuff. Here is my report. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the AEP CVS build to work with ipx networking. This is essential, since the whole reason I'm using an emulator to run Magic Carpet 2 is to network games. Otherwise I can play it nearly flawlessly on an old 486. I …

Thanks for the reply! - DOSBox 0.70 latest AEP CVS (you should try this first!) I was clueless about this. I'll see if I can get that and see what effect it has. Edit: Are you referring to the build from here? http://cvscompile.aep-emu.de/dosbox.htm I can't get ipxnet commands to work on that build, …

Dosbox 0.70 Running Magic Carpet 2 in High Res with: CPU Core set to auto Cycles set to auto Priority set to normal Memory set to 16 mb VGA mode I have one problem: 1.) After around 15 minutes of play the game crashes in this manner: - The Dosbox status window starts spitting out tons of "Illegal …

Thanks, that works every time.

Yes. DOSBOX .70. Connection was made (one computer was server, the other client) and netbios was running. I actually managed to start one networked game, but I am having difficulty consistently reproducing it. I guess an answer to this question would help me the most: What order should the following …

Ok, so I have managed to get all the netbios and IPXNet stuff together and have even managed to start a networked game of Magic Carpet. However, I can't reproduce it. When I'm on the network screen with the wizards, levels, etc. I got a networked game to start once both LANed computers had a …

Works. Needs Netbios though (and IPXNET - edit the DOSBOX.cfg file). Also needs to start with 'carpet.exe -network'. I created a batch file carpet.bat like this (ignore anything in brackets) @echo off cls ipxnet connect 192.168.0.??? (server to connect to) ipxnet startserver (in case it doesnt …
