The following issue appears only with dgVoodoo2 versions 2.74, 2.74.1, and 2.75. When you start SW Galactic Battlegrounds, you see a menu screen with several buttons and text labels beneath them. The text for most (bot not all) buttons is missing with the latest version of dgVoodoo2. Curiously, …

Sorry if this is in the wrong section... Configuration depends on the game. For Wolf 3D, for example, it's usually core=simple and cycles=16000 (or something in the 12000-20000 range). Host system is Windows 7, 64-bit.

A problem I've had for quite some time, though it seems to have gotten slightly more frequent recently (I usually use the latest SVN revision when one is available). Here's the thing - my emulated Sound Blaster 16 randomly ceases to exist. Games fail to initialize it, some of them even tell me I …

Suggestion: DOSBox should have the option to preserve files' original date/time modified. This isn't usually a problem, however I've had numerous cases of patches or even game expansion installers failing due to incorrect date/time modified. Example: Duke Nukem Plutonium PAK - it won't install under …

I just found out that the problems caused by FMV sequences in opengl output have been fixed in the latest SVN (r4095). "Allow 15/16/32 bpp inputs to the opengl output" did the trick 😀 HUGE thanks to whoever did this!

Hello everyone, I've been playing Tomb Raider (1996) for several years on DosBox without a hitch... but that was on my old laptop (a Win XP machine). Currently, I have a new desktop, running on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I use DOSBox SVN r4085. GPU is a GT 740. And now TR is causing some issues. So …

Reported DOS version?

Greetings, I was doing some more reading on the various DBox settings and parameters recently and I noticed that the ver command can be used to change the reported DOS version (which is 5.0 by default). I was wondering - are there any benefits from doing that? Would games run better or smoother if …

Hey guys... I tried using the loadfix... and it still won't work. Here is the exact error message that I get (again at the final movie scene): ERROR: Requires 544k of memory available to execute. I used loadfix with 64kb allocated. Any ideas?

Oh, I see... I'm sorry - my mistake 😳 I just never thought it mattered very much... which was very unwise of me to do. Ok, tonight I will try the "loadfix" thingie - let's hope it works.

Well, my memsize is 64 - and it still thinks it doesn't have enough memory :oops: The game crashes a lot? Apart from this memory problem, it runs perfectly for me, and all the other movie-like episodes play without a single glitch. After paying the whole thing, it was quite a disappointment to get …

I have been playing Jungle Strike without any problems since version 0.65 - so I figured out: "I can play the prequel, Desert Strike, as well..." Partially... the game plays without problems too... until the last level, at the point when there is a "movie"-like thing, showing the big bomber blowing …

Hello everyone, I noticed that sometimes the screen flickers for a second, when it changes (like going from the menu into the game itself, choosing an option from the menu, or from the main map - into a specific level) . This happens with DosBox 0.72 The games in question all use a game engine …

Thank you very much 😀 I won't be able to test this right now, but when I get back home in December, this will be the first thing I will do... Based on what they wrote in that other forum, it should work 😈
