You might try using the LOADFIX utility that is built into DOSBox. For example, if you run the game by typing SIERRA, you would type: LOADFIX SIERRA Also, make sure that you've run INSTALL and that you've chosen valid options for video and sound.

Try resetting all your settings back to default, especially stuff like triple buffering and vsync. Are you using any tweakers (Radlinker, Rage3DTweak, ATI Tray Tools)? Are you using the stock Catalysts or some custom version like Omega or NGO? I get slower performance in DOSBox with OpenGL-HQ than …

Agreed, but at least we'd be able to claim that we warned them and then lock the thread...

Okay I just downloaded System Shock from Home of the Underdogs to see if I could get it working in DOSBox, and here are the notes I made as I went along (note to DOSBox devs, possible DOSBox bugs are in bold text): Notes: - Unzipped HotU version to d:\oldgames\sysshock - Mounted d:\oldgames as c - …

Please don't use acronyms for game names without spelling them out at least once. I'm guessing it's Master of Orion 2.
Re: Dosbox crashes on exit if ISO mounted

Dominus: Seems what digitalmea is reporting is different in two ways: 1. The behavior seems to happen exiting via the 'exit' command in DOSBox. Digitalmea didn't report whether closing via the Windows X button also results in the problem 2. Instead of crashing, it looks like it closes but the dosbox …

Ah, I see. I haven't tried mounting any ISOs with audio tracks or cue files.

Something must be going horribly wrong. How would DOSBox know about a C:\GAMES\SYSTEM~1\cdrom\sshock.exe? Or maybe that's just a hard-coded location that cdshock.exe tries to find sshock.exe in when you run it? You should probably look into trying to get that install.bat working first.

I don't think I use sdl_sound in my own builds, which could be why I don't experience it. I don't know how it could be related though - I thought sdl_sound was just for capturing DOSBox's sound output to a file.

You don't need to tell powerstrip to make a driver - you tell powerstrip itself to change and lock the refresh rate. It talks directly to your video card, bypassing Windows completely.

That could be it. I install all my DOS games to d:\oldgames\game-dir, and mount c d:\oldgames in my dosbox.conf. I'll try to confirm it when I'm at home.

No, you're not listing some steps. I see that you're trying to run something from C:\GAMES\SYSTEM~1\cdrom\ but I don't see where you're mounting that directory. It's also showing an error for sshock.exe when you said you were trying to run cdshock.exe 😕

I just tell Windows' broken refresh rate support to go f*ck itself with refresh rates and use utilities like PowerStrip (http://www.entechtaiwan.com/) to force it to do what I want. I don't have to do that on my current monitor because I made a custom INF file by hand (the original manufacturer/ …
