I mean, I can't count how many times I had to walk backwards while facing a monster, shooting arrows. This kills the game. Thank god for my P166 then 😀 heh....and we still do the same thing in Oblivion. Some things never change....

The Windows XP patch is bugged - when I tried it out, I couldn't walk backwards or strafe properly, and the game had a few other bugs. Luckily it worked like a charm on my retro PC (P166) - otherwise, DOSBOX gave some weird graphical errors with the CVS I tried. Never tried it on 0.65 though. Great …

Re: Changing Z drive default in DOSBox?

I wondered the same thing a while ago because it seems Windows 3.1 had this thing where it shows all drives at the top of Winfiles regardless of if they exist because of the Z drive.

Blood is a pretty heavy game, running worse than Quake oddly enough. I can get it running at a descent speed but if you can't, try decreasing the window size.

Yep 😜 works a treat - no way I'd have discovered this since I didn't even know the "max" value existed.

Doesn't work - I read that turning off XMS should help, but then it won't go further. Just sits there.

The slow mouse cursor can be fixed: sensitivity=100 in dosbox.conf sets mouse sensitivity. Just increase it.

Much easier, and when a setting is wrong, it's much quicker to change than having to reboot, change setting, reboot again and again until you find the right thing. Memory management is nearly non existant now.

Saying that you can't learn DOS now is silly - DOSBOX is much simpler than MS DOS ever was. You don't have to endlessly fiddle with memory settings, drivers, etc. anymore to be able to run a game for one and it's much more compatible than most hardware at the time. A few months ago, I decided to try …

I love a shiny icon - it makes it appealing to run the program. My previous icon was a bit more simplistic but while it did its job, it lacked something which this icon seems to make up.

With the official 0.65 release I had this problem: The autocycles feature was bugged and would lower the cycles but not increase them again. Also, sound would sound really warped and horrible opposed to the changed mixer in the latest CVS which skips sound. The latest CVS seems to work much better …

Actually, it did do something else: DOSBOX used to have the american QWERTY keyboard layout which I'm used to and now, oddly enough, it is partly AZERTY and partly QWERTY which is extremely confusing.

Using ykhwong's Dosbox version, my cursor keys behave exactly like the numpad keys - if numlock is on, if I press up or down, I get 8 and 2. Is there any way to fix this?

There's a few games which definately use the 64Mb - Battlespire for one. I wonder if it would use 128Mb. Oh, and Pandora Directive works fine on my PC which is an AMD 64+ 3000. It's not supersmooth in some areas, but everything runs very well. Also, definately use DOS32 and maybe you can set it so …

That doesn't mean it's DOSBOX. As I said, a bug can creep into a savegame and you won't get rid of it. If you run the game in Windows instead, and don't have the bug there, then it's probably DOSBOX but since you haven't even tried that, it's impossible to say, but still unlikely that it's DOSBOX …

Are you certain this is a DOSBOX bug though? Ultima games did have quite a few bugs (especially IX) so it might be a game bug which crept into your savegame.
