I found that the "lack of memory" problem can be skipped before display error message by press . This could also explain why Mobygames have these Hercules screenshots. And it does not have the screenshot just after error occurs.

Amount of "No Memory" seems effected by cycles of DOSBox. Is this problem able to be fixed without replace AGI ? After replace the AGI Interpreter of Gold Rush, Manhunter works in hercules mode. But the display seems to be "compressed" . I wonder at how the screenshots of Mobygames generated.

I get the corrupted font with the hercules machine type too. But I copy the file "HGC_FONT" from "Police Quest-In Pursuit of the Death Angel (1987)" to fix that. I think there maybe some memory access issue when in hercules mode . Modify "memsize=" in dosbox.conf doesn't help.

You can change the control character of ETEN from ASCII "27" to ASCII "26" using ETCTL command. Like this: ETCTL/C:~(Press Alt and numpad "026")

The newest version solves the problem of lost last character. Even if I use the "mode con: ..." command. Then I try to run "MS-DOS Editor" and paste a string. It lost characters if there are more than about 180 characters in the string.

I cancel the "mode con: ....." command and try background and non-background version. Now they lost the last character. Two versions have the same problem. Speed up DOSBox doesn't help.

Hi, I noticed that this game will display the title screen, then pause of about five seconds in PCE. Unfortunately, when running it in DOSBOX, the title screen displays like the blink of an eye. Even if I adjust the speed to about cycles 30. Is this DOSBOX's issue? Was able to solve this problem?

It is possible to eliminate the extra black borders with machine=hercules by using Magic Key and running the game in CGA mode, although it will have a somewhat different appearance. Magic Key changes the display dimensions to 640x200. Hahaha ... another cheating ... :wink: I believe this is …

There's a patch later on in the same thread that adds composite support in mode 4. It's still a work in progress however. Thank you ! I download dosbox_composite.zip. The game's color then looks better. (but auto-detect doesn't work) The game doesn't appear to do anything unusual with hsync …

Hi, The original version (Lo-res) of "Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders" runs well in hercules mode. But the horizontal position does not at center. Is this DOSBox's issue ? Adjustable in DOSBox ? Another problem is that this game seems support CGA composite mode. I try to modify settings in …

Many words disappear in DOSBox 0.74. What I do is to set machine=hercules in dosbox.conf than boot the …
