The problem with the setup and game programs is that they use the CDS -- an internal DOS table that DOSBox does not emulate -- to determine the current directory of the C: drive. It puzzles me that the programs go through such trouble with the CDS, because there is a DOS function to get the current …

Ah sorry I totally misread your reply ( Was playing Overwatch :P ) . No, I didn't do anything before running the setup. The game installer automatically calls setup.exe after installation is complete. I just tested it out, changed the working directory to the install directory and then ran setup.exe …

Sounds like a path problem where the game can't find a file containing the Chinese characters. Are you changing the default directory to the install directory before running the setup? C: CD \WESTWOOD\MALCOLM SETUP If you know what file contains the characters, maybe try copying that to the root of …

Hi. I think this is an old issue. I ran into it years ago with an older version of DOSBox. I tested it again today on DOSBox 0.74 and DOSBox ECE r4176 and found out that the problem still remains. So here is the issue. After you choose Chinese as the language in the setup and finish installing the …

Could you try it again with the demo? It should immediately crash. If it doesn't then dgVoodoo's ddraw.dll is not accessed at all. It didn't immediately crash.

For watermark and splashscreen you need the splash dlls (copied to System\SysWOW64 or to the game folder), I think I'll upload it to my site to have it easily available, instead of the need of hunting them on the net. DX however is strange. Just for making sure: didn't you disabled the emulation in …

No watermark. I've tested with some old DirectX games (Ancient Evil, Blood II, etc.) and got the same result. I'll try a few Glide games to see if it will work. Edit: I've tested with 3dfx and D3D exes of MDK. I managed to get the 3dfx version running. All the settings worked but the 3dfx …

Here is the game's OPL driver hacked to play digital sound via DAC instead. Replace the installed copy of the driver with the one in the attached archive, and you must have disney=true in your DOSBox settings. I think it sounds reasonably good, but there are a few pops here and there. Thanks! Your …

Information about the game is not easy to find, as the wuxia novel and film/TV adaptations tend to predominate. In any case, I suggest referring to the game's documentation in case there are command-line switches or some such that can be used to select alternate digital sound devices. If the game …

The title is something like "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in English. It is apparently using the OPL chip to produce digitized sound, which is not well-supported in DOSBox. See if you can configure the game to use other hardware for digital sound, such as SoundBlaster, GUS, or Covox/DAC. The …
