Could you give us the actual code you have (either attached file or just the listing) in order to replicate the problem? At first me too didn't think that the problem was dosbox related, I imagined some error in your program, but stating that it only happens when running the same code from within …

I probably shouldn't even reply to this since it doesn't seem you did anything of what was proposed above. Anyway, you're not going to get any solution to your "problem". A simple 10" google search confirms above posts and reveals that this is not a problem, the game IS designed this way. Knowing …

I'd add Bermuda Syndrome (1995), underrated IMO. Does run in Win95, but also 3.x I'm not sure if it counts for your search since it wasn't originally released only for 3.x, but most of 3.x games could run anyway in Win95

A very very long and probably worthless shot, but is there a chance to run it with the reduced RAM (i.e if only the RAM got ripped off and nothing else is damaged)? Nvidia partners slapping different amount of RAM for a particular GPU, there being no separate video bios or driver for each such …

Pictures don't help at all, but I think I remember that those cards where known as "master boomer". Since there are no better answers, have a look at http://museum.ttrk.ee/th99/i/P-R/51311.htm to see if the layout matches that of your card, I can't really judge by the blurry and small pictures of …

That's excellent, it means you just have to create a proper win95 boot floppy image and nothing else is wrong. Start with WinImage 😉

Yeah, this is why i'm asking. Make sure that you use something like winimage to "write" the image on the floppy, not just transfer the files. You can ensure that the floppy is correctrly written if you actually try to boot from it in virtualbox. Not the image file as you've already done, the actual …

1) Can the 486 boot from any other floppy disk? 2) How do you "expand" the image to the disk?

Now that you explained in more detail, in my opinion and from a business point of view, virtualbox (or similar virtualization software intended for this use such as vmware)+winxp is the correct way to go.

I read that you've tried other emulators, but a) just to make you've tried this solution also b)out of curiosity why it wasn't suitable for you a setup with for example virtualbox+ms-dos doesn't provide a solution?

From what I understand (and please correct me if I'm wrong, this setting isn't clearly explained and this is just my experience) - glide=true requires a real voodoo card present or a glide wrapper such as nGlide - glide=emu emulates it (and is slow as expected) Having the game working in emu mode …

As he says it's "set to give me 8mb of RAM", it does not seem that would fix the problem. I wasn't being smart here, just not sure if by "RAM" the topic starter meant just "memory" or the RAM parameter for EMM386. It's not common for people to specify specific amounts of EMS memory (not to mention …
