I've finished the main game, and I'm about to finish the "Tactical Operations" data disk, and yes, it rocks, specially with the latest DOSBox.

I can't tell. The crash occurs when I play two or more missions, and I can't even play at that speed.

That's difficult to say. When I play with both cycle and core set at "auto" the game hangs in-game every two missions or so. Now I've tried how fast can really run "Strike Commander" in my system, and while menus and videos stutter at 50,000 cycles (dynamic core) in-game allows far more exagerate …

Alright, checked. The game seems stable enough with dynamic core and 25,000 cycles.

OK, I'll try at different cycles. Meanwhile it would be great if somebody could decypher the error code or see if it has happened to other people as well.

I'd rather point out the issue so it can get fixed, but thank you anyway.

I've captured the error message the game produces when it crashes. What a pity Origin was't more clear about what is making the game crash. http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/7781/dosbox000oh3.th.png As I said, I don't think it's DOSBox related. For some reason the game worked fine on 486 CPUs, but …

Ugh. There must be some other way.
"Strike Commander" crashes on you too?

Hello there. I use to play the CD version of "Strike Commander" under DOSBox, and while latest version has achieved a wonderful performance improvement, it also causes the game to crash in-game after a couple of missions. The worse thing is that I'm almost sure it's not DOSBox fault, because the …

Mmm... makes sense, I can't imagine the people from Microsoft giving support for that. Still, I can't see why DOSBox for Windows shouldn't work inside Virtual PC for Mac.

But I wouldn't expect full speed (nor even playable speed) unless you have a monster PC.

I'll throw in another suggestion: the DOS port of ZSNES. I tested it last week and works sweet in my Athlon64 3400 when it comes to 2D games. But when I tried "F-Zero" or carts with built-in co-processors, like "Super Mario Kart" it was kinda slow.

I don't know, it just happened that Callus screenshots turned out like 768x224, so I resized them to truly represent how it looked during gameplay.

You're right, butterfly. I forgot to try the "special" resolutions, they never worked on my old P166. http://i.imgur.com/9isoJbZ.png http://i.imgur.com/smBSVtz.png Note that I've rezised the pics so they correspond to the actual display. As for MAME, I wouldn't bother, really. Although the DOS port …

And who knows, maybe I got the loading screen from a Spectrum or Amstrad CPC version. It was a while ago and I can't remember it clearly.

Oh, sure it does 😁 "Soviet" is available for many platforms, even PC. It's just that I first played it on a MSX2 machine, and I use to play that version for old times' sake.

Callus tried :happyhappy: The DOS executable is still around, and MAME roms work (to some extent). The real problem comes when you get to play. I had completely forgot that this emulator didn't support image stretch, unlike its Windows port, so you end up playing with the different resolutions to …

Callus... I *MUST* try that, although I can't tell if finding the DOS version and the adequate ROMs will be easy or not. Anyway, I've tested the Spectrum ZX emulator RealSpec (Pentium I optimized) and it complains the CPU is a mere i486, but then works fine after all. http://i.imgur.com/LVjyvyX.png …

Round III: MSX. I've had certain trouble getting both BrMSX and fMSX-DOS to work. Only one of them (BrMSX latest beta) crashed DOSBox, which probably means fMSX-DOS will work with after some more effort. MSKISS, though, worked almost at once. http://i.imgur.com/5xM5htE.png?1 http://i.imgur.com/ …
Re: Syndicate Plus not saving Games
Posted on 2007-04-10, 10:47
As I remember, this one was a CD game, and it created a SYND folder in C:\ were it created the sound config and the savefiles. So, in order to make it work properly, you need to mount the game folder as D:\ and then add some other folder as C:\ so the savefiles can be created.
