First of all, you don't need the CD. Download and install the free package and run it. Secondly, you can achieve the same by copying one or two files from the CD to your hard disk (don't remember which files - just search the internet, it's described in several places, possibly even here) and …

Just had a quick look. I started DOSBOX (0.74), mounted hard and CD drive, ran install from the CD drive, chose FULL and Soundblaster 16, which installed Thunderscape without a problem. Then I started Thunderscape by entering THUNDER at the DOS prompt and entered a new game by simply accepting the …

Well, you can't save everywhere - go find an sanctuary. This game runs fine in DosBox. If you have further problems, you are probably better off searching the internet for gameplay hints, solutions, FAQs, etc.

You don't need a CD drive at all. This topic has been covered a few times already. Read, for example, my post in the topic "TES 2: Daggerfall" (or simply use the search function for "Daggerfall"). Good luck!

Here a quote from the 1.06 patch notes (i.e. this is independant of DOSBOX): "A Pentium slowdown has been included in the patch. To slow down game play for a Pentium, type: arena -delay:# at the DOS prompt, where # is an integer between 1 and 9. 1 causes the least delay, 9 causes the most delay. We …

Have you tried "output=overlay"? For my Arena configuration, this makes a difference, compared to "output=surface". With "cycles=25000" and details on max, Arena runs quite smoothly. Regarding hardware and OS, I'm using a 4GB RAM Vista PC with resolution 1280x1024 and a Radeon 3750.

There exist several Daggerfall threads in this forum. In a nutshell: - Install Daggerfall (huge) according to Bethesda's instructions - Edit the file z.cfg (in the Daggerfall folder) to point to your Daggerfall folder (lines "path" and "pathcd"), - Start DOSBox, enter "mount c d:\dagger" or …

You're welcome! By the way, Daggerfall runs under XP (a bit slow), but not under Vista, not even in compatibilitry mode.

Well, Arena does run under DosBox 0.73. What you are saying about abending during the dream sequence with Ria rings a bell - I must have had the same problem, but not recently. When I compared my arena.conf with the standard dosbox.conf, I noticed 2 differences, which may or may not be related withe …

Are you using Arena 1.06?

Which MOO2 EXE are you using to start the game, and with which sub-parameters? Which version of MOO2 are you running, and do you have any mods installed?

Thanks, ripsaw8080 - it works indeed. :-)

I have managed to get hold of a French manual of A.G.E. (on a French abandonware site). This manual mentions a copy protection procedure which appears to be identical with that of Galactic Empire. No surprise, but I haven't been prompted to go through this procedure in A.G.E. so far. Another …

I HAVE tried it indeed! :-)

Thanks, but 0.65 isn't different from 0.73. Vista? But I tried Win98 compatibility mode, too. No change. Any specific settings required? By the way, the task manager tells me, DOSBox is using about 30% of my CPU capacity while "loading". I terminated it after about 15 minutes.

My apologies - I didn't state the problem clearly enough. When starting A.G.E. using DOSBOX 0.73 and the normal dosbox.conf file, I get to the standard configuration screens of A.G.E (language, sound), and then the intro runs without a problem. After the intro (and pressing F2 for proceeding to the …

Is it possible to run A.G.E. (Advanced Galactic Empire) from Coktel under DOSBOX? The predecessor, Galactic Empire, does run.
