I'm having trouble with the CD version of Guardians of Eden (By Access) After a few minutes of game play, the graphics become all garbled. (No particular thing triggers it) This is happening on the GOG version too (no changes made to it - running with their DOSBOX wrapper). I'm able to run the …

During the game ending sequence of Zak McKracken - the game will "freeze" (the animation stops although the music keeps playing) and does not show the epilogue text. If played through SCUMM VM, then it works as it should. Video of the game being played in DOSBOX showing the game ending freeze: …

I've been playing Elite Plus (runs great near 1000 cycles on DosBox). I'm trying to figure out how many points I've gotten so far. (1000 will get you Elite in this version of the game) According to this info - the hit points in saved games are stored in bytes 0091-0092 in the save game file. http:// …

This is caused by a corrupt TDY.EXE that floats around the net. Sorry, but there is no support here for games from illegitimate sources. Understood. Checking Ebay - and looks like the game was only released on 5.25 inch disk format. So that will make it a little bit harder to copy off - at least …

The DSS detection is problematic, so run the game like "EGA -v ss" to force options. Thanks! It works like a charm! :happy: I noticed that the graphics while driving and investigating a crime scene flicker a lot less if EGA mode is selected instead of VGA mode - so EGA -e ss seems to be the best …

I can't get Disney Sound Source sound working with "Dick Tracy - The Crime Solving Adventure". I enabled the Sound Source in the DosBox config file and selected Sound Source sound from the game's set-up file - but it is still not working. I only get PC speaker sound. (I tried using DosBox 0.74 on a …

It seems that Ur-Quan Masters has tools for unpacking the game resource files; or at least there's source code for such tools in the repository. See the part about "To use this program" here . Thanks! I'll check it out. Though this seems to only unpack the files - I'll need a way to repack the …

Just a quick (probably silly) question about Star Control 2 - is it possible to edit the alien dialog with a hex editor or something like that? (I'm not interested in changing the dialog trees or anything like that - just changing some of the text for fun) (I know that there are several mods for the …

Yes. (It actually wants to save on Drive B:, but I tried mounting a folder as both drive B: then as A: with no luck) I also tried mounting a blank floppy .IMG file as drive B: with no luck either. 😕

I'm have trouble with Amazon by Telarium. Apparently, the game is set up to save on floppy disks and doesn't save or restore a game properly from DOSBOX. There is a patch floating around on the internet so you can save the game to drive C, but then the patch messes up the game so you can't complete …

I'm having problems with the CD ROM Version of Sam and Max Hit the Road when either Roland MT32 or General Midi is selected from the game's sound setup. Selecting either one will cause the set up to freeze. The floppy disk version works fine however. I'm using the latest version of the SVN-Daum …
