I'm having the exact same issue, won't work in Vista for me. My temporary solution was to install Dosbox and Vdub in XP using VMWare, it works fine.. but it would obviously be faster to do it directly in Vista.

I bought all the Lucasarts FM Towns games some time ago, I think I posted about it here.. well there are only 6 total but it cost me enough anyway :p I was planning to make longplays of all of these, especially the three versions that are better on the FM Towns (Zak, Indy 3 and Loom) but I'm pretty …

If you're using a non-English keyboard layout in Windows, it will be different in Dosbox. I have to use the \ key as = in Dosbox.. the key just left of the backspace key.

Monkey Island Collector's Edition?!?!? :) Wow... and I can't find diddly about it on the net. It's just a package with Monkey Island 1-4 included. The box art is terrible too. I think it was only released in Australia or something weird like that but I'm not sure. Those 6 FM Towns versions probably …

Found an old thread on another forum that I posted long ago with pictures of some of my adventure games.. I thought I'd post it here as well. And please post pictures of your adventure games, I'm very interested in seeing old adventure game boxes. http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/4568/56143141qz9.th …

I assume you installed the ZMBV codec (in the start menu, in the dosbox folder). I usually use Virtual Dub to convert the vids to Xvid or something like that before uploading to Youtube.

This is very hard as there are many series I like and I often like several games in a series equally. But I'll pick one from each of the series then (this is in random order) - - Monkey Island (first Amiga game I bought and the first LucasFilm adventure game I played.. had only played a few AGI …

I just made a longplay of the *awesome* game, Gabriel Knight 2 - the Beast Within. It's quite long and due to the 10 minute limit on Youtube, I had to split it up into a ton of parts. A big thanks to the Dosbox devs who made it so easy to record movies! :) You will notice the audio goes out of sync …

I don't see what the big deal about old games that have not been sold in years and years. The only ones making a (much too high) profit on people buying these old and often too expensive games are the ones re-selling used copies. The original publishers/developers/etc don't see a dime in any case. I …

When you have changed ISO's, you need to hit CTRL+F4 in Dosbox to make it register there's a new CD in the drive 😀

Oh no, that's not what I mean.. I am using the de-interlace patch btw, I never liked those scanlines. Anyway, the problem I have is tearing.. like in this screenshot - http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/laffer/tearing.jpg However, I downloaded Gulikoza's custom build and that seems to have fixed …

Hey :) I'm having issues with the DOS version of Gabriel Knight 2. I'm using the latest version of Dosbox. The problem is that there is a lot of tearing while displaying videos. I'm not sure if the DOS version always did this but I can't remember it being this bad. It tears in every video and …

A simple tip and obvious tip that I somehow always fail to follow myself - In the Dizzy games, select an easily reachable spot and store all the items you have not yet found the uses for there. I've more than often had to look all over for an item I'd found previous in the game. And another tip for …

Yup, that's pretty much it. The Amiga was very impressive for the time it was released and for a few years after.. it was an incredible machine back then. The PC did catch up eventually of course.

They're a little bigger than that. By the way, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade sounds great on the FM Towns since it has CD audio. Nice soundtrack. Other than that, it's pretty much the same as the PC version. Loom is awesome as well on the FM Towns - it has CD audio music but not CD audio speech …
