What could make it slow are the settings in the configfile of dosbox. Are you sure that your pc can handle 45000 cycles ? Why change it from the default value of auto ? auto is a far superior setting compared to 45000 He is using some weird template that came with the silly frontend: "complex DOS …

So your still trying to run the game from the emulate "D:" drive and not the emulated "C:" drive? Would that make a difference? I thought that as the game is installed on D: and the games .cfg file refers to directories on D:/Batspire and D:/Videos that the game would not find it´s own files if I …

I don't know this Dapplegray frontend, and don't know if it is possible for the user to change the available values. You might want to try the DBGL frontend. It is written entirely in Java, so it will run on anything with a modern version of Java. With DBGL you can easily change all the available …

Probably due to: [dos] xms=false ems=false Default for DOSBox 0.72 is for these to be true . So why did you change them? As Qbix noted: "oh boy what a messy configfile". You would be well adviced to start with a completely fresh profile, using the defaults values. The DOSBox developers has gone to …

I have never ever used that -fs option. Had to check the README to see what it was about. I doubt it is needed if the image is from a CD. I think you are correct in suspecting a corrupt image. Or - it could be a HD-image in FAT(16?) or some Linux format that DOSBox do not know how to handle. In that …

I am done with this thread. 2 people has posted that the game works fine for them. So Ireng is either using an unauthorized copy, or s/he is too stupid to follow instructions. And as we all know, while you can fix ignorance, you can not cure stupid.

Then I will tell you a secret: IT WON'T WORK. No matter how much space there is on the underlying folder (e.g. on a small RAM-drive) used in the mount command, DOSBox will ALWAYS default to 110 MB of free space.

That is the beauty of DOSBox!! You simply give it a fresh folder to install into, and it won't touch your current install. 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox. If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

Ireng - EMS/XMS settings are determined by DOSBox. Maybe now would be a good idea to download one of the many DOSBox frontends that makes it easy to both see and change the DOSBox setup. That way I am sure you would have noticed that DOSBox is using IRQ 7 for the SoundBlaster. And that files doesn't …
