Ahh, I'm sure that's my problem then. Thanks for the heads up. In the meantime, I should be able to just copy the disk contents over to c: and install from within Windows, but I'll certainly be looking forward to the next release (which, honestly, I've been looking forward to anyway... been a while …

Hi, all. I've run into an odd problem that I'm having trouble figuring out. Would appreciate any suggestions. I have a floppy disk image containing win16 software that I'd like to install in Windows 3.11 under Dosbox. However, I can't access the a: drive from within Windows while the image is …

By the way, ripsaw8080, you nailed it. I just patched the 0.74 source with the fix you pointed out and all the movies work perfectly now. Didn't have to change a single other thing. Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction.

My guess would be because the Masterpiece Edition available on GOG, as mentioned earlier, requires Windows 9x. So, it's at least tangentially related. 😀

Wait, really? Dosbox can run Windows 9x? Wow, I had no idea. Sounds like another fun project once I get Myst working. 😀

Huh, that very likely is my problem then, as I'm using imgmount. Thanks, ripsaw8080, I highly doubt I would've stumbled across that answer on my own. ;-) I'll investigate this a bit tomorrow and see if I can confirm. Also, bloodbat, thanks for the suggestions. I had actually found all of that myself …

Well, yeah, how about, "theoretically works under Linux via dosbox?" ;-) Yeah, everything else works fine. I already have Monopoly and You Don't Know Jack installed under 3.11 and both work great. Both video and audio drivers should be working fine, and the sample QuickTime move that comes with …

The GoG version is a remake/enhanced edition that requires Windows. I'd rather stick with the original version, which has the added bonus of working under Linux via dosbox. Not to mention that, unlike the GOG version, I already own it. 😀

I just picked up the original Myst and installed it under dosbox / WfW 3.11, and it mostly works. However, none of the videos play. It seems to be a quicktime problem, as discussed in these previous threads (both are pretty old, so I thought it'd be better to start a new thread): http://www.vogons. …

Thanks, David. This is a handy patch. Would you mind also providing just the patch file? It would make it a bit easier for non-Windows users, and hopefully encourage the upstream developers to include this in the next version. I think that'd be a much better long-term solution, as it'd be much …

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I did try all of the possible options for output, and none seemed to have any affect (well, except surface, which also prevents the DOS environment from scaling). Ditto for the scaler option.

I've been on getting a lot of my old games running under dosbox lately, and have generally had good success. For pretty much all games where I want full screen (which for the most part are games with 640x480 native resolution), I use the following video config: fullscreen=true fullresolution= …

Hey, I know this post is a few months old, but just wanted to say thanks for the tip. I ran into the same problem and this was exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to post it here.
