I *think* my algorithm does this correctly. at least my original version, don't know if QBix' 256-color adaptation breaks this. I have never checked because I didn't know of any game that does this. The (lower)bits of 3d9 are decoded the same way as the algorithm you send me. The only things …

you would need to specify the things more clearly which resolution is needed. high resolution is too vague. The cvs you use of ykhwong has some 16 bit support. but no 32 bot

are you certain that -usecd 1 is correct ? (and it's -ioctl instead of -ioctrl) and remove the ioctl and -t cdrom from c:\oldgames thing

the last time this happened they just mounted it wrong. be sure to mount it correctly. (like that you have to type cd mps inside dosbox)

Well I don't have the game. So can't really test it. you might want to try a cvs build of dosbox (see development forum) or a debugger enabled build to see something odd

it could be a register initalisation. that has been in the past often a problem with the not 0 timers. Usually they expect it to be programmed in a certain way.

shouldn't matter. PCI or VESA. no game uses the bus directly. (mabye something like win95) but no games. (the latest univbe uses the pci bus for detection though)

the game might write in the current codesegment. The dynamic core "hates" that. (self modifying code). as it has to regenerate the code on each occasion. I think there might be a warning/logmessage that can be enabled for it. (to see if that is the reason)
