I'm trying to play System Shock 1 through DOSBox. It installs fine and everything. But when I run cdshock.exe, one of the following happens:
A: It starts up fine, and when I start a new game or continue, it loads just fine.
B: It promptly crashes to this:
C: It starts up fine but when I start a new game or continue, it crashes to a screen that looks like the one in B but with a garbled Citadel Station in the background.
D: DOSBox crashes before I even get to start a new game, returning this:
Exit to error: RET from illegal descriptor type
E: It starts up fine, but when I start a new game or continue, it crashes to this:
Exit to error: Pagefault didn't correct table
F: This message:
Our system has been shocked!! But remember to Salt the Fries
Page Fault
<tables of hex garbage>
I've tried downloading SystemShockPortable and running it the DOSBox way, but it has the same issues.
Is there anything I can do to make the game start up more reliably?
