Re: Games that run without dosbox

Because some games (especially late DOS game) are still much faster using NTVDM. For computers which aren't totally new this can still be important.

Did you actually look at the Amazon Shop? Amazon itself doesn't sell this game, it only redirects to resellers over the market place. So avatar_58 is right: The game isn't produced or sold anymore from the original company.

And even so, today Windows 1.0 and 2.0 are almost useless anyway - especially from the game point of view, which is the main focus of Dosbox.

@Collector: Yes, I know and I was referring exactly to this specific problem. I had exactly the same problem as Simplex before and the solution I provided worked just fine - also for all the other Sierra Windows games. Just believe me and try it. ;-) (By the way, the XP installer from Hendroz does …

There are only 3 possible common sense locations to use with just plain DosBox. There is another one, which I would prefer: [Dosbox-Installation-Directory]"Hard Disc" so you would have the Virtual Drive us a subdirectory of the whole Dosbox installation. Actually this installer should only be …

So, what's the difference in your mentioned case if you mount specific directories or just one? But I think that the chances to "f.ck up" your installation are less to begin with if you don't change the mount commands in the first place. This forum is full of newbies who have problems just because …

My 60-seconds guide assumes that the installation is done completely inside the DOSBox environment. Mounting a separate MyGame directory for each install makes MyGame = C:\ for that particular game. Which I think is totally unnecessary and creates extra and unneeded amount of work. To have a …

Sierra games don't look or care for the CD label, so this isn't necessary. The error indicates, that the game can't find the necessary resources, probably because the entries in the "RESOURCE.CFG" are wrong. This is probably due to a faulty installation. Since squigum already posted this error with …

I am asking because I am unable to run it full screen, only in a small window. The exaxt same things happens when you install Gabriel Knight CD using the original Windows (3.11) installer - the game runs, but in a window (even if I check "Run in 640x480) in the compatability tab). Create a batch …

I think it is simply an ommision, not a conscious decision. And even if it was a conscious decision, it still is, IMO, error of judgement It was a conscious decision, some of the earlier Sierra games were like this, e.g. Space Quest 4. Seems like many people complained so they changed it in later …

When you see in the news how many times people confuse the actor with the person in the movie it is sometimes frightening. In summaries of movies you read very often the actor's names instead of the names of the person, like "Brad Pitt rescues Julie Roberts" or something similar. This is only …

Well said. 1gnorance wrote: it would be "fortunatley" for me, you people have a extended knowledge with dos. Not that it was ever "THAT" difficult to use anyways. If this is really the case, than I guess you can figure this out all on your own and don't need any help "anyways". 😉

And by the way, "Crusader - No Regret/Remorse" DID have an extra installation manual and reference card - as most of the Origin games did. Maybe you're copy is incomplete (Ebay?). I wouldn't say that I don't have the installation manual, if I had the installation manual. Yes, it was Ebay. …

bilinear filtering does not make those games look better! they were never designed to look like that. they look blurry. I guess that is only a subjective view because you got used to the old graphics. This whole thing is just a matter of personal opinion. Especially the source ports look way better …
