OK, which settings should I use with core, ems , etc? Hwy, does someone know if there was some kind of editor for system shock 1 too?

ok, could I try those commands with a dosbox frontend, or do i have to do it manually?

Well, here are more screenshots, for your viewing pleasure ::) I tried with xms=false, and system shock gave an error of not enough extended ram. I tried with loadfix, and it just allocated 64kb. Fortunately, the color palette goes back to normal after a few seconds. Maybe it's a bug in dosbox? Hey, …

Hey, try dukonector. It's sort of a frontend for dosbox, works great! Does all the commands for you! http://duke3d.vachu.com/files.html

Ok, I will do that and reply my findings here

Im sorta a newbie with dosbox, how do I disable xms/ems and use loadfix?

Which settings should I use for sound? You mean in the setup program, right?

Yea, it's an internal screenshot I took with ctrl-f5. Could it be a bug within dosbox? Yes, this is when in fullscreen mode. How do I force a different resolution, like 800x600?

yea tcpip in dosbox would be great!

Come to think of it, maybe it's because I have system shock in sub directory from where dosbox is installed. Is that ok?

No, I dont think I set compatibility options for dosbox.

Well, I'm using the official dosbox .70 and have my video card's official drivers. I tried with ddraw and opengl and the color palette still goes wrong.

Thank you for replying to my post. Well, I have only tried it when dosbox is at fullscreen. I'm looking at the dosbox.conf file, dont know which values for output to use. Do you have any recommendations?

edit: I read the readme and found out how to take a screenshot, so here it is. Turns out, it not only changes the colors, but on the dosbox console lotsa illegal read errors show. Does someone know what could the problem be? I really would like to play this classic on my pc!

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and have a few questions or problems when running System Shock 1 on dosbox 0.70. I managed to install and run the game from dosbox 0.70, runs great at 640x480, but at moments, the colors all change, flash into these bright display of colors that mess up the entire screen. …
